Can the Beneficiary send the I129F package to USCIS?

[ashleyphilly 70]

Hi everybody,

I am the Beneficiary living in Turkey, and my fiance is the petitioner living in the U.S. He is very busy with his work, so I am doing most of the work of this process in terms of sending him the forms to complete, and signing the letters. Also, I have most of our evidence of our relationship, in terms of pictues and e-mails. Lastly, he is not very good in keeping the paperwork organized. With all that said, he is going to send me the filled I-129F, the biometrics form,and other forms and letters that he needs to sign. Once I receive it, I am going to compile with our evidence of our relationship, and the forms that I filled out, and letters signed. As we have been in a 7 year relationship, this is going to be a thick folder.

My question is instead of sending the whole folder to him and him sending to USCIS, can I send the folder to USCIS? In this way, we would save some time as well. Or would that not not be accepted as the folder would coming from my country-Turkey- beneficiary's address?

Please advise,

Thanks,

The package can be mailed from anywhere in the world, but make sure he signs all the bits he needs to get signed (since the petition is his).

Hi,

Great to hear from you. Thanks. One more question: Since I have the pictures, can I write down at the back the location and the time? Would USCIS accept te beneficiary's handwriting at the back of the photos? Other than that, he has signed all the documents that he needs to sign.

Yeah. You can write on the back.

It does not matter who writes the needed information, as long as he signs where he needs to sign and so do you.

If he is really bad at keeping paper, just remember that critical mailings like the NOA will be sent to him. So go to the USCIS website and sign up for email notifications and give them your email address. That way when critical paper is about to be mailed, you will know about it and can follow up with him to make sure he gets it, send you a copy, and keeps the original in a safe place.

Really good advise because you will need those form later in the process!

Yes, I thought about that as well. Just because of that, I thought of hiring a lawyer, but then we would be paying the $2500 fee for just follow-ups on getting the NOAs. We don't have a complicated case at all. I was living in US since 2005 on F1 and H1B visas any way up until this year. I just think it's a waste of money to pay a lawyer for getting NOAs. What do you guys think?

I was the one preparing the I-129F package when I was in US visiting. US petitioner just signed the required forms at the right places, and mailed out the package.

Remember to keep an exact copy of the I-129F package for yourself.
