Getting packet together

[fayrog 33]

Hi,  I'm starting to get our packet together and I have a few questions. I have been through guides and the instruction form, but haven't really found the answers. Please forgive if they seem stupid. I sometimes overthink things.

 

1. On the I29f  number 50 it is asking for all of the countries and states where I (the petitioner) have lived since I turned 18. It's a lot since I was in the military. I know I need to go to the additional sheet so should I number each place sequentially? Like 51, 52, 53 etc.?

 

2. For number 53 it says to describe the circumstances of our in person meetings. I just put July 27-30, 2018- we both flew to Mexico City, October 16-December 1, 2018- beneficiary came to Iowa to stay with me, Feb. 14-27, 2019- I stayed with him in Mexico (we are sending it in after this meeting).  Do I need to put that we met online in March 2018 or just keep it to the in person meetings?

you can state how you met online and also when you met face to face later in mexico city. send proof with photos of the meeting in person with boarding passes and such to proof the 2 year requirement

On page 13 of 129F there is a room where you can provide additional information about countries. 

 

Most people consider Question 53/54 to be "The" most import question, as this your one chance to proof your relationship is bona fide. I've put "additional page attached" and then typed out a short but factual "love story" It doesn't need to be overly elaborate, but you might want to put something more than dry listing of meeting times. You only need to have met once, so you do need a factual proof from at least one meeting that proves 2 things: You both met, and meeting took place less then 2 years from the date of filing petition. Pictures alone will not proof the date.. well unless you are holding newspaper hostage style  

Good luck with your filing!
