I am new to the community and had a few questions. When I file the K1 do I need to include the bio of both my fiancé and me? If so does she need to fill it out-sign it and return to me? I am concerned I am going to forget all the forms that need to be initially sent to get my noa1 back. Any tricks or insight would be helpful to take this huge step.

Yes but I am still confused if she needs to fill out the bio form and sign it before I can file

Yes. It is clearly in the guide's list of items to put in the petition (items 7 & 9). Read it again.

As it states in the guide and the I-129F form instructions, you each need a G-325A form and a letter of intent. Have her sign both of those things and mail them to you along with a passport photo. They need original signatures.

I couldn't find this answer either. Who do I make the check out to when I send in my payment? Also Dallas is the place we are suppose to send all the info to correct?

Write a check payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security (do not use the initials). I believe this information is in the I-129F pdf instructions. Yes, you are supposed to send the packet to Dallas.

Where to File :

File Form I-129F at the USCIS Dallas Lockbox facility:
For U.S. Postal Service (USPS):
USCIS
P.O. Box 660151
Dallas, TX 75266
For USPS Express Mail and courier deliveries:
USCIS
Attn: I-129F
2501 South State Highway 121 Business
Suite 400
Lewisville, TX 75067
My fiance used FedEx and he sent it to the second address. He sent it Friday and it was received Tuesday the following week.
I know it's overwhelming to read all these information right now but take your time and read the guides over and over until you familiarize yourself with everything. It gets easier, trust me! Don't rush into filing the petition. Double check, triple check everything if you have to.

Yes it is overwhelming........I just keep getting this feeling that I am going to screw up the smallest thing and set us back months cray5ol.gif

It is overwhelming, yes, but the solution is to read, re-read, and re-re-read the instructions on the USCIS website. Everything you need to send them is written right there. Highlight all the things you will need to gather and make a list of them, then check them off one by one once you have gathered them. It really isn't that hard if you just pay attention to the instructions. Good luck!
