January 2016 I-129f Filers

Thanks for your time. Another question, what do we use to attatch our passport photo to the g 325a form. Thanks

Anytime

I used paperclips. I wrote the full name on the back of the photo, then put it in a ziploc bag (or other plastic bag) and labeled the bag 'Full Name' and attached the bag with a paper clip to the back of the g325a.

Thank you. Im using my birth certificate as proof of citizenship, but it's just a page, is it normal? If i am going to use my passport as proof, do i also need to make photocopies of the blank pages?

Your birth certificate is a single page, this is normal. But you need to make a copy of both the front and the back. There should be a special seal/stamp on the back proving its authenticity.

If you want to use your passport, you need to make a copy of every single page (even the blank ones).

When I did mine file I used this video it truly helped me out a lot and don't get discouraged on my RFE LOL reason I got it is cause my fiancé didn't put N/A on 1 of the pages that didn't pertain to us but other then that this video is perfect for new filers enjoy

Good evening all,

I have a question that could be stupid (or may be not) but please bear with me:

When filling out I-129F form, and if extra sheets are needed (for example question 14), do I attach an extra blank sheet of paper with all the needed info or do I attach a duplicate page 2?

Your help is appreciated.

Hey there,

So if you need to add another page, you should type it up (or write very clearly) on a blank sheet of paper. This sheet should be titled in regards to what question is being addressed. So if you are answering question 14h, then

" I-129F Supplement: 14h. Result of Previous Alien Fiance Application "

Hope this helps!

I removed all staples today, paper clipped everything in sections. We made sure everything was correct and sent overnight USPS so will be there by 12pm tomorrow. Hoping we have done everything right, especially with money order as I had not done one before.
