[Caimei 3]

Hello VJ members! My fiance and I are getting ready to file for K1 visa. I am confused as what to attach to I-129f. I am waiting for my finality and I'll have it in next few days, but my question is what will the USCIS need from me? I heard, The Declaration of NULLITY OF MARRIAGE and ANNULMENT is different. My case falls into the Nullity of Marriage. What do I need to send? Please help..

Hello VJ members! My fiance and I are getting ready to file for K1 visa. I am confused as what to attach to I-129f. I am waiting for my finality and I'll have it in next few days, but my question is what will the USCIS need from me? I heard, The Declaration of NULLITY OF MARRIAGE and ANNULMENT is different.

First let me say that during the process of receiving your final endorsement from NSO you can file your I-129F. At this stage you do not have to provide any copies of your NSO documents with the filing of the I-129f. You will have to have all your final annulment processing completed when you go for your interview. Divorce, annulment and nullity of marriage are all annotated the same.

Having said that, have you done any of these steps? and which ones have you completed?

1. Once you attain the annulment you will need the decision of the annulment, entry of judgment, then the decree of annulment..

2. Then you’ll need to secure copy of the marriage contract with the annulment annotated on it. A total of four documents.

3. You’ll need to wait 20 days from receipt of the Solicitor General of copy of the decision before you can secure the Entry of Judgment.

4. After securing the Entry of Judgment, you will have to register the same to the Local Civil Registrar where the marriage took place or Filipino’s hometown. The said office will transmit the same to the NSO.

5. You will show the Court what date the LCR transmitted the documents to the NSO. With the proof of receipt of the NSO, the Court will then issue the Decree of Annulment. After 15 days from receipt of the NSO of your documents, you can now request a copy of the marriage contract with the annotated annulment) proceedings. You need to request at least 4 certified copies for future use.

Thank you for the reply. What documents do I need to send to my fiance so he can file I-129f? I know one is my G-325A, but I don't know what else.. Do I need to send the Entry of Judgment(finality)?
