Letter of Intent includes "How you Met"?

[hrothgarr 0]

First real post!

So I'm in the middle of gathering everything for the I-129F packet. I'm writing up a letter of intent based on an example from VJ, and I figured I would just personalize mine, copy it, change the info for my fiancee, and have her sign it. However, I've read around that they also like you to put your "how you met" story (Question 18 on the I-129F) in this letter as well. I've already typed out a separate page answering question 18 that I was going to attach to the packet. I also filled in the little box on question 18. This seems a bit much to write out our story three times, so what's the deal? Should I leave question 18's box blank on the form and just write "see attachment" or something?

Also, when they say how you met in the past two years, do they mean just your initial meeting, or do they expect you to describe every time you have seen each other?

Is it cool to post my Question 18 draft here for you guys to check? I'm not sure of the etiquette here...

Welcome. Your letter of intent is just that. The declaration of intending to marry your fiance/e. Question 18 can be answered in the box or with attachment. You don't need both. If you wrote out an attachment, simply put 'See attachment'. You also don't need to write out an essay of your life story together. They want to know the circumstances of your meeting. You can list all the times you met in person. I did this for the reason being that your evidence is supporting your statement. My evidence covers more than one in person meeting so I made mention of that.

I see. I was asking because we've been dating long-distance dating for over three years and in that time have visited many times in many different countries and have even lived together for one year, so writing it all out with dates and locations is intimidating...

Are there any other example Letters of Intent on the site?

For example: We met online in July 2005 and then I went to visit her by December 2006 in <enter city, country>. As the relationship progressed, I visited 5 more times within Jan 07 and Aug 2011 until I moved in. We've been living together for the past year.

THAT should be more than enough.

Your letter of intent is NOT the response to Question 18. These are separate. You don't need to include all of this in both. The example letter of intent is sufficient. This example by Celeste & C is for Question 18. Just sum up the dates you were together whether it be two weeks at a time or 5 years at a time. Just sum it up from beginning to present.
