I-29F Form assistance please? (Helping my US finacee)

[BrockUK 26]

Hello there!

I am a new member of VisaJourneys and I am proud to be a part of your community. I have read so many happy stories on this website but now I am in need of some help from anyone who can help me.

Let me give you a backstory to start of with. I live in the UK, my fiancee lives in Tennessee, US. We have known each other for 8 years, been a couple for over 2 years. This March, I took her to Miami to two weeks for her first holiday (ever!) and I proposed to her (see video link below, and she did say yes!). However, when we got back we found out that her only family member has been rushed into hospital. Let's just say that it wasnt how I imagined we would spend my last week with her in the US.

Why did I bring this up? Only because I told her that to take the pressure off her, I (the beneficary, NOT the petitioner) would do all the paperwork for her on her behalf and will send it to her when I feel it is completed. So far I have managed to do the following:

* Covering Letter

* Declaration of Right to Marriage (Myself and hers)

* G-325A (Myself and hers)

* I-29F

* 1 x passport photo of myself (will sign it before I send it to her)

* Proof of being in a relationship:

* Photocopies of my boarding passes, hotel reciept, credit card evidence & 1xphoto for March 2011

* Photocopies of my boarding passes, credit card evidence & 1xphoto for October 2011

* Photocopies of my boarding passes & credit card evidence for January 2012

* Photocopies of my boarding passes, credit card evidence, hotel reciept & 1xphoto for March 2012

* Photocopies of Facebook messages dating back since March 2010, MSN log, engagement ring receipt, phone bills (mine not hers) & 2 other photos of us together

Please understand that I have already checked out the guide for filling in the K-1 forms, however it is not the petitioner that is completing the forums I the beneficary is (although once it is all completed I will send it to her, who will in turn will send this with a cheque, 1 x passport photo of herself and sign all forms and photographs).

My question is is this enough? Have I got too much evidence or not enough? My only concern was that I have been going over to see her; not once has she come to the UK to see me because she is severely disabled. Will this affect our petition? We have been talking about her coming to the UK in early July so should we wait until she does that or send it as it is now because we could use her visit as part of our evidence when I have my interview to prove that we still have a continuous relationship after filing this form?

Also after the petition is send and if it is apporved, I know that she has to send evidence of her payslips so it can be proven that she will be able to support me when I move over. Due to her disabiility, she will be claiming disability from the state ( it will be commencing mid-May). Could this be acceptable proof instead of the payslips?

I am sorry that this is so long winded but I could really need some help. I am getting sleepless nights because I keep going over the forums and forms to see if I am missing anything and learning from other people's advice from this forum. I am wanting this to be perfect so the sooner I can move in with her the sooner I can look after my fiancee and soon to be wife. Thank you VisaJourney community!

Kind Regards,

BrockUK

fill in G 1145 if you want to be notified by email/text about the approvals, updates etc

Don't send too many of those messages and MSN logs as all you have to proof now is that you have met within 2 years and you are free to marry... All the logs can be left for the interview as that's when they want you to proof that you are in touch and you have a bonafide relationship

other than that , you look like you are ready to go!

LOL!! D'oh I completely forgot about that! Do I need to fill in two if I want to get notified as well?

With regards to the MSN logs and phone bills, are you suggesting that I send samples (e.g. August 2010, December 2010, June 2011, November 2011 etc...) and keep the others for my interview?

Will it also raise an eyebrow if I kept on travelling to see her and she has not travelled to the UK? Thank you for responding!!

[lovebirds85 12]

also make sure she includes her copy of US birth certificate or US passport !

[sabi 148]

No you just need to fill in one with your fiancee's details as she will be the one who will be getting notifications... you can create an account on USCIS.gov website and that way you will be getting emails too

Yes I do suggest to send some samples only as they won't really look at it in details at this stage and you might save them some time going through hundreds of pages of your chats

I don't think it's a problem that you are the one visiting since she has a disability and I am sure they will understand that. It doesn't say anywhere who should be the one who's visiting as long as you have a loving relationship you can proof

[sabi 148]

yes your fiancee will need to add her passport photo and a copy of her birth cert. If she doesn't have it , then all the pages from her US passport or if she was not born in the US, she will need to provide a copy of her Naturalization Cert

[BrockUK 26]

@lovebirds85 Yes thank you I forgot to post that didnt I! She doesnt have a birth certificate that she can find, but she definately does have a passport! And I will remind her to photocopy EVERY PAGE!!!! lol!

Phew, thanks bro I just got kidna worried because most people on here say that they are from the US who visit their fiancee's country (from what I have seen anyway!) I will make sure that I will only put her details on and sign her up to the USCIS page. My only concern though is that because she will be claiming disability money, will that serverely affect the peition as she is not working and does not have proof (i.e. payslips). :S

[sabi 148]

the only reason USC are visiting is because their fiancees/fiances don't have a visa to enter the US plus most of the time they are the ones who can afford it

When it comes to the sponsor part, she will have to proof she has enough money to be your sponsor (check the poverty guidelines I think it's 100% or 125% above the poverty line). If she doesn't have that she will need a co sponsor...

Please be sure to read the pinned thread in the UK forum on the K-1 process and what's needed/not needed: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/350185-london-2012-k1s-from-noa2-to-interview-thread/. For instance, Skype logs, etc. won't be given a glance at the interview.

Good luck!

Thanks for that mate!! That will definately come in handy once we get the NOA2 going!

What about when she comes over to the UK in July? Should we send the forms before or after she comes and visits me in the UK? Im slightly torn in the middle because if we send it before she comes then that is proof that we have an ongoing relationship AFTER the petition is filed, whereas if we send it after she visits me then that is proof that she is committed as I am about our relationship....

...or am I reading into this too much?

[sabi 148]

you're reading too much into it! Send the form whenever you feel confident you have everything. The process takes a long time so the sooner the better! Some people don't see each other throughout the whole process since they filed the petition and they are being approved!

Now you only have to proof you have met ONCE within the last 2 years... later you have to proof an ongoing relationship!

So would you recommend that I DONT send proof of copies for all the times I went to visit my fiancee, just the latest? (i.e. March 2012)? And use the others for when I have to prove we have an ongoing relationship?

Thank you sibi777!!!!!!
