I129F Question 18-Does it really need a seperate sheet?

[Stryker 0]

Hi,

I was filing the form I-129F with my fiancé and we have some trouble with question 18 which says:

"Describe the circumstances under which you met. If you have not personally met each other, explain how the relationship wasestablished. If you met your fiancé(e) or spouse though an international marriage broker, please explain those circumstances inQuestion 19 below. Explain also in detail any reasons you may have for requesting that the requirement that you and yourfiancé(e) must have met should not apply to you."

My fiancé (the petitioner) answered on the I129F Form like this:

"On December 26, 2006 I got to see and meet Mehdi personally. We had been chatting since March 8, 2000 and exchanging e-mails since February 14, 2000. I had already known him for six years and meeting him personally confirmed everything I already knew."

Is it enough for the I-129F application or should we give more detail about the trip she maked to meet me?

Thanks

Same question yesterday my answer: Fits on the lines provided.

Yep same, just stuck to facts.

"Met on internet chat board Oct 05, started emailing and chatting for 8 months, decided to meet. Flew to China July 06, engaged we found that we are best friends and want to marry."

Simple and to the point.

The circumstances need to include dates and places that are supported by the evidence you are including. Brief is fine. Something like this would be better.

"On December 26, 2006 I flew to CITY and met Mehdi personally. We had been chatting since March 8, 2000 and exchanging e-mails since February 14, 2000. I had already known him for six years and meeting him personally confirmed everything I already knew."

Then provide the evidence you flew to that city and that you entered India. Passport stamps, visas and plane ticket stubs are good, as are hotel receipts. You can add pictures as secondary evidence. Don't mention anything in your statement that cannot be verified with the evidence you are submitting.

Sounds good to me - short and sweet.

We used an extra sheet of paper....we'd lived together and then I went back a couple times to visit before applying for the visa. I thought it was better to mention this because I sent proof of my residence in Brazil...as long as my trips back and forth.

Zipper,

Up to you. Some people write 1 line, others write a novel. I wrote about 3/4 of a page, space and a half between lines.

I did about a page. I wrote how we met, and what we did when I went over there. For the main things we did while there, I had photos to go along with it.
