Good Enough Application

[FLDodger 0]

As the petitioner, I submitted the 1-29F and supporting evidence on Monday. I was wondering if I submitted enough to not receive an RFE? Here is what I submitted in the packet:

 

- Completed I-129F form

- Photocopy of birth certificate (US citizenship proof)

- Signed letters of intent to marry within 90 days by myself and my fiancé.

- Signed stories of how we met by myself and my fiancé.

- boarding passes and photos for the last four times that we met in person.

 

is this enough?

How was it organized? Did you have cover letters, TOC. Did you send payment?  

 

Mine was 93 pages with everything.

It was all in a binder. Our letters of intent and signed stories of how we met are included.

 

and yes, a check for payment is at the front of the binder. I should have mentioned that in the original post.

Binder? They ask people not to send binders.

You can make the paperwork as simple or as complex as you want. But the core components (most important ones) remain the same. It looks like you've got them there: the I-129F form itself, the letter of intent to marry, photocopy of your proof of citizenship, payment, and other required paperwork. Be concise with paperwork and literal with interpretation of instructions. For most straightforward cases, it's a non-bumpy ride.

Did you include passport photo's of both of you?

The list of required documents are in the guide:

 

Assuming you don't need certain documents (i.e. no criminal history, no prior marriages, no name changes, etc.) - and adding that you provided the payment, passport photos, and a cover page - it seems alright.

 

The only potential issue I see is evidence of meeting in person.

The signed statement of how you met doesn't really mean much - they focus is really on the actual evidence. To organize that, you can optionally include a statement listing out the evidence provided. We did so on the cover letter without issue - no separate statement.

Determining a date + location with photos is usually not possible....hence why they are secondary evidence.

Boarding passes can be fine assuming they include the full date (sometimes they lack the year).

Optimally, passport stamps are provided. Then things like receipts, dated event tickets, etc.
