Story letter

[ujones 148]

I am in the very beginning process and is trying to get every thing together. Please correct me if my information is wrong. This is my understanding that  I need to make 3 folders with one original and two for copies. One of the copy folder is to apply for 1\I-129 and the other for interview purpose. Along with explaining on I-129 how we met do I also have to include another letter , one from both of us explaining our story ? Or just one from me the petitioner is enough ? Also should I sent all the documents in folder or just with paper clip? Sorry for asking so many questions but I really feel overwhelmed. Thanks in advance

You both need to do a letter of intent to marry. We also each did a brief letter describing our relationship, how we met, etc (dont recall if that was required or not, but we included it). Neither need to be long drawn out love stories.

 

and yes, send copies with the petition, and keep the originals for the interview. I made several 'copy' packages. I have one, paul has one, and I think I have an extra one.

For sending your completed application in, they prefer your stack of documents to be clipped at the top with a paper/binder clip (you can two-hole punch the papers if you want at the top, but not required) and then just put a sticky note at the bottom of your stack of documents indicating different sections you have set up with different documents so they can easily flip to them.

You do not need any additional letters / story's for how you met. 

 

There is a field consisting of about 4 lines where they want you to briefly describe how you met. The very last page of the 1-129F there is space for additional info if required. 

 

Mine literally said:

 

I had met LeesaMarie's brother gaming online, and we continued to be good friends for several years since then. In 2016 he had invited me to visit him.
See Part 8 Additional Information.

Part 8:

I went to London in August 2016, and was introduced to LeesaMarie. We spent a considerable amount of time together, as well as with friends.

 

Our petition was approved.

 

I hope this helps
