fileing a I-129F

[RonD 0]

hello all.....

My question is:

When I file the packet for the I-129F should I just send in what it says on your checklist here on this site or is it a good idea to send in other documents IE; I-134, I-864, her birth Cert and NBI clearance things like that? also if I do, will it make the process go any faster? I am so close to getting this finished!!! thanks in advance..

Hello! It wouldn't hurt if you want to include those things in your I-129F packet. But remember some of those forms have expiration so your fiancé would get them again when the interview comes. I-134 supporting documents should have the latest too. You can include things like proof of ongoing relationship in your packet. Just make sure that all forms are correct. Good luck!

the US citizen's birth certificate has to go with everything but I didn't see anywhere it saying that the foreign fiancé(e)'s birth certificate did too...

hi. that would really depend on you if you would like to to send additional documents. in our I129F packet, we included the i134 and NBI clearance.. and will bring latest docs in the interview..

Hi, when we filed our petition in October 2012, we only included the documents on the checklist here. We also provided looots of ongoing relationship proofs. And thanks to God we got approved without RFE after waiting for 7 months long

Good luck to you.

I would not recommend sending the I-134 and other extras/ later stuff; they will at best just toss it, and may get confused by it.

Hello all, Thank you for all your comments!!

The only reason I ask if sending other documents is a good idea, is because maybe it will cut down on things they need later? you know them mailing me what they need and then me mailing it back... that kind of thing...

Good advice!

All the I-129F is for is to make sure the USC meets the requirements to file the petition to bring the foreign fiancee/fiance over.

They check to make sure

1) proof you have a bonafide relationship

2) proof you have met within 2 years of filing the I-129F

3) proof you are a USC

I think there are a few more things they check out like if you have any domestic abuse cases and stuff like that. Everything else comes when the foreign fiancee/fiance gets before the American Consular.

Any paperwork above what the I-129F calls for is a waste as you will have to include all those documents again when the interview at the Embassy happens.
