1) On the G-325A example form on this website, the example has the box marked "naturalization" but I'm just filing for the K-1, so do I mark "other" and then put I-129F Petition for Alien Fiance? I assume that's correct but don't want to chance anything.

2) We both live in Britain, therefore both of our addresses are here in Surrey. On the question, where does your fiance intend to live in the United States, we've put my mom's address because we will both go back there to house-hunt for a while after we get married. I mentioned it in my attachment letter on how we met, is that going to be clear enough or should I do something else?

Also, what evidence should I provide them. We don't have any plane/train/bus tickets because we met and live in the same town. I think I might be able to find a water bill in both our names, but my name is misspelled on it. I have pictures of us in the UK and in the US, what else could I do?

Thanks in advance...

I believe if you look in the guides it will show you exactly how to fill out the G-325A. I don't remember off hand how to do it.

An attachment letter on how you met seems like it would be clear enough. Make sure to mention you've lived together since a certain date.

As far as evidence goes you could use pictures, any other bills at all that is in both your names or possibly show things sent to the same address with your names on them (even if its not together?). You can also send letters from people who have seen you together. Your parents, friends, landlord if they know you live together, etc.

I would suggest you fill in what I did, Other K-1 The 129F answere would probably be just as good but it seems to me that K-1 is a little cleaner. I think Midi's answer was pretty good. A statment about the situation, any bill or even letters addressed to both of you separatley but with the same address would be good. Copies of anything such as tax's, bills, etc in either of your names at the same address. Those are my thoughts.

12/14/2006 Applied for K-1 with request for Waver for Multiple filings within 2 years.
Waiting - Waiting - Waiting

Ok, sounds good. About the form, I did mention in my post that the example in the guides was the one I was looking at. I know that the G325A from can be used for a variety of applications, and in that particular example, it was ticked "naturalization". I guess with a K-1 you aren't filing for naturalization, so I suppose I'll keep my answer the same.

Thanks for your help, seems like I'm never quite finished with this thing!

The USCIS G-325A had a bug in it causing it to mark naturalization. You would check 'other' then something like 'I-129F petition for fiance' as that is what the G-325A is being submitted with.

That made us crazy during the time that we were printing all the forms. We chose Other and wrote I129F (K1 Visa Application) but when it's printed, the 2nd-4th copies were marked Naturalization. We almost missed it but thankfully, we checked everything again and again till we noticed it. We just used white out and marked Other.
