K1 Petition - Beneficiary intent to marry letter?

[Sahs 10]

Good day to you all,

I read, here and there, that there is a requirement to submit a letter from the beneficiary stating an intent to marry; on top of the Petitioner's own letter stating the same when the I-129f is mailed to their office. I have read the USCIS website in detail (over and over) and have not been able to fine any such wordage where it says that such a letter from the beneficiary is required. I do know that there is a requirement for the petitioner.

I look forward to anyone's input on this.

Thank you all,

Sahs

Re-read section 5B of the 129f Instructions.

I misread those instructions in the past also. Over the last dozen years I've applied for 2 K-1 visas. Neither had letters of intent, both were approved.

I am currently applying for a third K-1 visa (yay, waiver requirement) and did include letters in this petition. No sense leaving them out if you can get them. What might be ok once, might not be ok every time. Protect yourself, put them in.

YMMV, good luck.

OUCH OUCH OUCH! I sent the I129f in July, so I'm not quite disappointed about this oversight as I'm currently pray for an approval...

My petition was 4 years ago and I did submit a letter of intent from each of us. I just copied the same letter and rearranged the verbage a little so it did not appear as the same.

I read section 5 of the newest 129F directions and I am convinced you need the letters. Nothing fancy, maybe 2 sentences is all that is necessary.

No, just an RFE......and they will updated new letters for the interview.

To others: ALWAYS ALWAYS read the instructions. This process is really very simple.

we didn't submit letter of intent (both petitioner and beneficiary) when will file our petition last feb. 2012.., got approved with no RFE.. so I'm wishing you don't have it too goodluck:)

[Sahs 10]

Thank you all so much for your attention to my situ and your good wishes.

I just got off the phone with our Immigration Lawyer about it as I am quite worried. He advised that this is a very fluid process and that, in general terms, we should be fine. Albeit, there is a chance that the Adjudicator may rested exactly that (a statement from the Beneficiary).

All the best of luck to you all as well,

Sahs

Personally, I'd get the two documents ready for turn around an RFE if you do get one; personally you should since it is right in the instructions and any good adjucator should pick this up.....regardless of those who did not follow the instructions.

The process is very simple and easy if you follow the instructions...and Follow the Guides. There really is little to interpret...even though many try to read more into it.

Agreed! I've emailed our Lawyer about it; requesting the firm to draft a proper statement, so I can expedite it to and from my love for a speedy turn around just in case.
