Question about Letter of Intent

[Removed030114 48]

FedEx in England is what got it lost.

Forget the FedEx letter. Now it's time for plan B. He needs to get a pen and a piece of paper any size, any shape, or any color and write out the letter of intent by hand and sign it in black ink. Then, mail it back to the US using FedEx overnight with tracking. Done!

It's like a Mr Bean sketch.

The FedEx location. Where he's sending you back the letter. It will have PRINTERS and PAPER and he can print your letter (or buy some paper and scrawl a letter - they'll even lend him a pen), sign it, and mail it back all in one trip.

Also. Really. NO PENS? A basic bic biro is like 35p (plus, how is he going to sign the letter if he has no pen?).

Oh, he's going to go buy one... How did he sign the G-325A?

He didn't sign the G-325A, we started the process after he went back to England. But when I got the RFE in the mail the only thing it said that was needed was the Statement of Intent from Beneficiary.

Uh. What. I don't understand. You sent his form unsigned?

G-325A was not signed by fiance. But when I got the RFE all that was needed was statement of intent.

G-325A was not signed by fiance. But when I got the RFE all that was needed was statement of intent.

But the signature was left blank?

Maybe they haven't noticed and you'll get another RFE. Or maybe they have and they'll have him sign it at the interview. Who knows.

Good job that lawyer of yours checked your paperwork.

I e-mailed the lawyer about the G-325A missing signature and he said its not needed until the K-1 visa interview.

Your lawyer is WRONG! It's certainly required for the initial submittal, just like the I-129F and every other attachment. He's incompetent and you need to report him to the Minnesota bar association. Additionally, he botched your case by not ensuring the form was signed and did not include the letter of intent in the original package. He should pay for all overnight mailing.

Really? I've read many cases of fiancés and spouses signing the G-325A at the interview. Though I think they usually sent a statement to USCIS to that effect, just so USCIS wouldn't think they forgot.

Btw I read this thread. And it says some did not get an RFE for unsigned G-325A.

Interoffice Memorandum

To: SERVICE CENTER DIRECTORS

From: Michael Aytes /S/

Acting Associate Director for Operations

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services

Department of Homeland Security

Date: November 1, 2005

Re: Guidance for Processing Pending Form I-129F Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) when

G-325A for Petitioner and/or Beneficiary is not Signed and/or Photos not Submitted.

Purpose

To provide field offices with guidance on processing Form I-129F petitions when the accompanying G-325A is missing signatures and/or photographs.

A properly executed Form G-325A is required for all I-129F petitions. Previously it was standard practice to issue an RFE when the beneficiary failed to sign the G-325A and/or failed to submit photographs. From the date of this memorandum, an RFE should not be issued in instances where the beneficiary failed to sign the G-325A and/or failed to include photographs provided that the beneficiary is residing abroad. The beneficiary will be required to sign the Form G-325A and/or submit photographs at the time of visa issuance abroad. It is also not necessary to RFE for the petitioner’s signature on the G-325A, if the petitioner failed to sign it. The signature of the petitioner on the Form I-129F should be deemed sufficient for purposes of adjudicating the petition. Finally, it is important to note that the petitioner’s photograph is still required for the adjudication of the I-129F, so if it is missing, it must be requested prior to adjudication.

Questions regarding this memorandum may be directed through appropriate channels to Mica Pilz of Service Center Operations.

So we don't need the G-325A signed?

Well, it needs to be signed eventually, but that memo suggests that a service center should not RFE for it and allow it to be completed at consulate stage.

Kind of weird for the lawyer to forget the letter of intent, though. What's even more weird is the apparent difficulty in obtaining pen, paper, printers and PCs in the UK o.o
