The sample letter of intent to marry has this statement:

"I, (applicant’s or beneficiary’s name), do hereby state that I am legally able and willing to marry (petitioner’s or beneficiary’s name), and intend to do so within 90 days of my arrival into the US using the K-1 visa. "

Is this letter of intent the same for both parties, the one INSIDE USA, and the one OUTSIDE USA? I am already a US CITIZEN, why do I have to say this part "and intend to do so within 90 days of my arrival into the US using the K-1 visa."?

Use the bolded text, and you'll be fine.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

For US citizen :

"I, (applicant's name), do hereby state that I am legally able and willing to marry (beneficiary's name), and intend to do so within 90 days of her/his arrival into the US using the K-1 visa. "

For non-US citizen:

"I, (beneficiary's name), do hereby state that I am legally able and willing to marry (applicant's name ), and intend to do so within 90 days of my arrival into the US using the K-1 visa. "

that's how we did ours, hope it helps

Don't forget, you also attested to the same when you signed your Form I-129F petition.... :yes:

Good luck on your visa journey.

Thank you!

What do you mean I attested to the same?

We only copied the intent letter and changed the names but missed to change into "his" arrival. hopefully It wont matter?

We really dont want any delays as there´s alot of plans backfiring if delayed :(
