I-130 & I-129f Form

[nyseness 0]

Hi everyone. I read somewhere on this forum which states if you previously filed for someone then a waiver might be required but all it did was confused me even more. So with that said, here's my question.

My I-129f petition for alien fiance was denied for not seeing my SO within the two year mark so instead of re-filing we decided to get married. Now I'm waiting for the marriage cert but once I recv it I will file the I-130. On the I-130 & I-129F it asked if you have ever filed for this alien or any other alien before. Well for both I will attached a brief description of the end result along w/the denial letter. Do I still need to send in a waiver? Or should this be enough?

Thanks in advance.

I would request the waiver. It is only a simple letter of request to go with the other letter of description and denial letter that you are already submitting.

Whilst they seem to be more concerned about those where the previous beneficiary was a different person for those filing for a fiance, the instructions on the I-129F don't make that clear. At least you would avoid an RFE requesting such.

You only need to file a letter to request the waiver with the I-129F. The I-130 does not come under IMBRA.

Is there a certain form or just a general letter requesting the waiver?

Its just a general letter. As Yodrak pointed out in his response to you in another thread, you can just add the words to the letter you have already that describe what happened.
