Hey! So I'm soon going to be sending my finances petition in soon. I'm getting all my documents ready etc, this is a bit complicated because I'm doing it on my own and not going through with a lawyer. So far I have most of what I'm missing. My question is do I really need to include a letter of how we met and the proof of the on going no relationship. I have it but I thought that wasn't essential until the day of the interview, also is a scanned signature good for the g325a form? I have plane tickets, photos, and chats. Is that enough. I'm very worried! I want this to go perfectly! Thank you

1) You definitely should include a letter of how we met and the proof of the on going no relationship. This is the most important factor in your petition's approval.

2) G325-A Needs to be the original form signed by your fiance

It's not necessary to submit that information, but a good idea to do so for a high fraud country, as what is in the submission is all of the information the consular officer sees before you attend interview, and could possibly help the outcome. We submitted extra pictures, Skype screenshots, messenger and chat screenshots, and a brief one page letter about our relationship. Haven't got to the interview stage, yet, but hopefully it helps us out.

I'm the Petitioner, she's the loud Dominican :rolleyes:

The advice just above is excellent. It's referred to here as "front-loading" the petition (with evidence of the bona fide nature of the relationship). USCIS doesn't care about this extra stuff but passes it on to the consulate nevertheless. The potential impact is stated above.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).
