no- don't punch holes in your documents let the uscis do it there way.you just use a large clamp on top of your file to keep it all together.

Thank you, we are assembling our packet right now and just making things sure. thanks a lot :)

I am very confused right now, I made a mistake on doing my G-325A and i just notice that i don't remember where did i get the DS-156 and DS-156K and what are those for. Please please can anyone tell me or give me a list of what documents do i have to send to my Fiance (Petitioner) aside from Letter of Intent and G-325A? I will really appreciate all your answers.. Thank you again and God bless us all!

please see "Forms Needed to file for K1 Visa" and "Assembling the I-129F Package: Checklist"

DS-156 has been replaced with DS160 for k1 visas now. But you fill this out for the interview, not the initial petition.

I am guessing you are the beneficiary, am i correct? If so, i would like to ask what documents did you send to him aside from G-325A and Letter of Intent to your Fiance (Petitioner) when you guys are assembling all the things for the packet. I am confused now.. I just don't want to make more mistakes anymore. Thank you so much.

That is correct.

For the i129f:

You do need a G-325A and letter of intent for both of you. 1 G-325A for petitioner and 1 for the beneficiary. 1 letter of intent from petitioner and 1 letter of intent from beneficiary. They need to be signed and original.

You do not need to submit the DS-156 or DS-156k.

You will fill out the DS-160 online at a later time (After the consulate sends your fiance the package 3)

Follow this guide exactly and you will be fine:

And if you have questions always try and ask here. There are some really great people on this site with far more knowledge about this process than me.

Good luck to you two!

Are you the beneficiary or the petitioner? What stage of the application are you in? Filling in your timeline would also help members and other viewers in answering your question.

You will be sending the DS forms to the consul during the interview. Your Fiance will only need the G-325A and LETTER OF INTENT from you

You need what it states in this guide > http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide

DS forms are not sent to the USCIS for the I-129F petition.
