I was reading an example of the cover letter and it calls for me to choose fiance or fiancee for the person i am filing the I-129F for and i didn't know which one to choose.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fianc%C3%A9e

Fiancé(e)

A man who is engaged to be married is called his partner's fiancé; a woman similarly engaged is called her partner's fiancée. These words are pronounced identically in English; the separate feminine form exists because of the inflectional morphology of grammatical gender in French, where the term originated. The term fiancé(e) is also sometimes used as a euphemism for a live-in lover, as was particularly common in tabloid newspapers during the 1990s

While they may be humorous, there is so a lot of truth in John_and_Marlene's additions.....

After all i've read at VJ they seem almost like official definitions and I take them seriously, believe me. I just meant that for a second i didn't even laugh because i thought "oh my god", but then i realized okay these are definitions by real people who are just putting them into simple terms for people like me, and they're supposed to be funny, haha. I'm just glad someone can put all of this into simpler terms.
