Intent to marry within 90 days

[mariepear 12]

Hi everybody!

I have a question... Does everybody need to bring to the interview fiance(é)'s notarized statement of intent to marry within 90 day of arrival to the US?

Thank you so much!

Intent to marry statements are not required to be notarized. I've seen other members who have gone through the K1 process post that they have brought intent to marry statements (petitioner's and beneficiary's) to the interview.

we sent it with the I-129f petititon... do we need to do it again?

From the VJ K1 Guide:

What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):
1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one).

2. Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiance(e) for their interview at the embassy.

3. Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F).

4. I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is signed, with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all.

5. You will likely need at a minimum (for the above form) two to three of your most recent pay stubs and a signed letter from your employer listing you job title, start date, your salary, and the status (full-time) of your position. Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. You will also probably want to include other evidence such as your banking information and other assets as required by the I-134. Specifically you will need at least 2 of the 4 options mentioned in Section II-Supporting Evidence of the I-134. See this FAQ for more tips and ueful information on the Affidavit of Support Form.

6. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail.

7. Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, etc from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 date-now).

When in doubt,

Does your consulate/embassy require you to send them an updated letter of intent? When in doubt, e-mail or call them and ask. That's what I did when I wasn't sure whether the consulate in Germany required one, and they told me they didn't need a new one.
