Almost done with 129F, just some OCD questions? Help

[rupok93 3]

I just have some last minute questions to absolutely make sure our K1 won't get rejected.

 

1. For evidence I submitted a written statement from my fiancee on how we met both signed by us, some 4X6 photos of us together and copies of my airline reservation/passport stamps. Is this ok?

2. It says to fill out the form with black ink, does that mean I have to write it all in or can I partially type it in acrobat and write in some stuff with black ink?

3. For the daytime phone for my fiancee, do I write in the country code?

4.  I have a UPS mailing address and I wanna put in STE 104 #183 (the box), how exactly do I do that in the address? I don't want them to think its STE 104-183. Do I put #183 in box 8b (street address and name) or 8c (STE/APT,ETC)?

5. If I wanna list extra employers on extra page what is the page #, part # and item #? Is it 2, 1, 13? Because the page gets extended out.

6. We both have nicknames? Since this is not a legal name change I assume no extra paperwork should be submitted? I listed both of our nicknames.

7. Do I put N/A for every box not filled out? Including physical address since mailing address is the same for my fiancee? (so I didn't have to fill out physical address)?

8. My fiancees parents have no last names due to a cultural thing. Is this ok?

9. Lastly is it better to send it by certified mail to the following address? I wanna send by UPS since USCIS hours are bad for me after work.

 

USCIS
Attn: I-129F

Thank you to whoever answers these questions for me. I really appreciate you!

I will be addressing some of the points I can be off help with

1) You can also include a wet signed (with ink) letter of intent to marry. And make sure to really highlight that it is in fact something that shows your intent to marry. If you can, also give an estimation on when and where you plan to get married, who you will invite etc. Since you're the petitioner (and henceforth a US citizen), you can also add that what you are writing is under oath to really make it something USCIS cannot ignore. Also letters of support (written under oath) from friends and mainly family members can really up your chances too!
3) Yes you can include the country code for the sake of convenience. No harm in adding it.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

You HAVE TO include two letters of intent, a separate one for each of you. It's one of the main requirements of the I-129f. OP make sure you have these if you do not yet. They don't need to be full of a bunch of details though, wedding plans and such, they can simply say "I intend to marry [beneficiary/petitioner name] within 90 days of entry to the U.S." There are plenty of sample letters to grab throughout VJ if needed.

2. It can be typed my I129F was all typed out except signatures. Same with letter of intent it was typed and I signed. She did the same, signed it, and emailed it to me. So her letter of intent was not an orginal with a wet signature.

 

So as far as I know there are no issues with typing it as long as you use ink for the important parts like signatures. I had no hold ups during the entire process so it should be fine.

This is absolutely not true or necessary.

There are guides here on VJ that are very informative and I would offer that you at least check your questions against the guides.

Lawyers are often incorrect.  Simply signing a letter of intent to marry each other (which is the requirement) is no less "official" than having people you know sign some sort of bogus affidavit that you plan to marry each other.  LOL.  The parameters for having the 129-f petition approved are really quite minimal.

Airline reservations tend to be insufficient since it is circumstantial and doesn't prove you've actually taken the trip. Passport stamps are good. Boarding passes are good. Even luggage tags if they show date and name. Pictures prove the meeting but not a 2 year time frame. 

 

2 letters of intent, the one from your beneficiary doesn't have to be wet signed are safest. Make sure you answer all criminal qeustions and IMBRA question.

I agree don't clutter your intent letters up with to much information or details. There is a good sample letter here on VJ and that works well. Remember NEVER volunteer information to USCIS it can get you in a world of hurt no matter how helpful you are trying to be with your case. Keep it simple and to the point! Two letters of intent each signed!!!!

Exactly. Try to remember these are very bureaucratic, very by-the-book, federal government employees you are dealing with, not American Idol judges... they aren't swayed by feelings-based input, they are objectively reviewing boxes that need to be checked.

And if you met on an online dating site you might want to print out and add the TOS pages of the site into your application. Some people run into trouble later with this especially if USCIS is not familiar with the dating site. Better to be safe than sorry.

We met on OKCUPID. Should I include their terms of service? Its a pretty well known site and I listed it on the evidence of meeting page explaining how we met.

Unfortunately threw away boarding passes but I printed out the boarding pass pictures I took with my phone. They are clear enough to make out the details. I printed the reservations as well credit card statement with payment to united. I also added statements with withdrawals overseas. I wrote the date on the back of the pictures. Should I include time stamped pictures or is my other evidence enough?

 

Heres a full list of stuff included based on feedback:

 

1.      Flight reservations and credit card receipts.

2.      Hotel reservations and receipts

3.      Credit card statement with withdrawals in Indonesia

4.      Bank statements with international withdrawals

5.      Boarding pass pictures

6.      Train reservations in Indonesia

7.      Passport stamps

8.      Color photographs with names, date and location on back of photos (handwritten)

9.      Call logs of whatsapp for continued relationship
