Three quick (and hopefully, final) questions on i-129F

[JuJooGuppy 1]

Hello again!

As always, thank you all SO much for helping with this process, insuring we do this right the first time. I have a couple simple questions here before I get ready to submit everything.

1. Its been a week since I had the beneficiary sign / date her 'intent to marry', so the date shows as 10-11, mine shows 10-17, and the cover letter will show the date I print that out. Does this matter that they are different? And do they need to be within a specific range of when I actually submit the petition? I am aiming to submit it early next week, so itll be just over a week and a half after she signed her document. Is this an issue, or typical?

2. Part 8's, additional information, it states "... Type or print your name and A-number at the top of each page..." for these pages. My question is, should that be the petitioners name, regardless of the information contained? The additional page was for the beneficiary, but the way it reads, I assume its supposed to be my name (Petitioner) regardless?

3. Part 2, #54, provide evidence of meeting and describe the circumstances. For proof, I am submitting copies of my plane tickets, some receipts from the hotel, I also plan to try to contact the hotel to get a record showing both our passports checking in there, and a train ticket showing she was in the same city as me (we met in her hometown rather than current residence.) and of course, photos of us together there. im under the impression this should be sufficient? My question is more in regards to the description, how detailed does this need to be? I did a simple, to the point description as follows:

"After communicating daily for nearly a year, we arranged to meet up in her birth town of Omsk, Russia. We spent two weeks in a hotel together, seeing the city and spending personal time together from 7/8/19 to 7/22/19. "

Is this sufficient for the #54 box, or should I be doing a part 8 and expanding with much more detail into our story?



Thank you all a million times over for all your help and support here. I apologize for so many questions, I am very nervous about this and just want to do everything right. Thank you!!!

Hi,

 

1. We had the same date on letters, but I think it should not be a problem if yours are a bit different.

Our letters were dated March 17th and we submitted the petition on April 4th. It was approved by uscis.

 

2. It should be a Petitioner's name and his A- number 

 

3. We have put the info how and when we first met, our meetings info, including dates, where you plan to get married and saying what you are going to attach as the evidence.

Attachment: photos, with friends and family is better, chat logs, 3-4 pages, tickets, pass stamps, engagement receipt copy 

 

Good luck! Just get everything prepared as per instructions and you will enjoy your life with your fiancee/future to be wife soon 🙏🤵👰

Thank you for the reply!

 

"pass stamps, engagement receipt copy "

 

I'm not sure what this is exactly, pass stamps? Passport? My passport actually never got stamped as I have a 3 year multi entry visa (I'm going back in January). I planned to show my visa, but I don't have any stamps that I recall.

 

And engagement receipt I assume is supposed to be for the ring? I hope I didn't accidentally toss it.. we just got a very cheap and simple ring while I was there. She didn't want anything expensive or fancy as we are not wealthy and she is not materialistic at all, it wasn't even an official "engagement" ring just used it as such. I had planned to surprise her with a nicer ring upon her arrival here, perhaps I should purchase it now in advance and include the receipt for that..? The receipt for the other ring will be in russian haha.

 

 

We also lack photos with anyone besides us... I'll be sure to take more in January when I go back, but I definitely want to submit the petition sooner than that.

 

Lastly, I have no idea how to wiggle down our chat history tow a couple of pages.. we have spoke nearly every day for over a year. I'm not sure if you can actually download the chat on VK, either, but I do still have the full history. We have had a few split ups though, too. I almost wondered if showing us fighting would be positive as it does show we have a genuine relationship haha, we are human and have argued at times.

 

 

Thanks for the feedback!

1.  As long as it's not a huge difference in dates, you're fine.  My fiance and I had a week gap in our papers. 

 

2.  Correct, petitioner's name.  

 

3.  Your description for meeting in person is fine.  I recommend maybe more detail of how you communicated day, like if you used facebook,  a dating website, etc.  As long as you got the where, when and how, you're good.  When I wrote mine, it was nearly a page ling, kind of overkill, but it made me feel good.

Sorry I have replied based on my story 

 

Yes, stamps on passport. We have traveled several times to meet each other and I have attached a copy of my US Visa.

Didnt the officer at POE put any stamps when you enter/ exit Russia?

 

I suppose they look to the fact that you have proposed her not the ring price.

 

I have attached screenshots from telegram, 4 screenshots on A4 format paper and mostly it contained incoming / outgoing calls , better to attach the chats from different period.
