A few questions about the I-129f

[Rinyuki 0]

Hey guys, I have a few questions about the I-129f that me and my fiance are a little confused about...

 

1. If I, the beneficiary, live in my current address for 5 years, do I have to fill up my physical address 2?

2. What if the petitioner or the beneficiary forgot the employment start and end date in our previous jobs? Is it required to put the exact dates?

3. In Part 2, page 8, item 54, it says to attach evidence of meeting in the last two years. How do we attach it? Should it be in the form, or should it be already included in the packet that we're going to send?

4. In addition to question 3, we typed out the story of how we met, (literally how we met) which is on a dating app. Now, the part that's confusing is, is it the same as what the i-129 is asking for, the circumstances of meeting for the last two years? (In the letter, it includes how we met in person too.)

5. If my fiance (petitioner) had a crime conviction, should we attach the court record documents and paperwork in the additional information of the form, or should we include it in the packet?

6. Should we leave some items blank or put N/A on all of it?

7. What is the general format of the additional information, specifically if we're going to add more employment history? We actually already have it typed out, (see picture below) but do you guys think this is the correct formatting?

 

Also, any examples or pictures would be a big help for us.

 

Thank you so much in advance for replying! ☺️

1. The instructions say "Your Beneficiary’s Address History. Provide the addresses for the places your beneficiary has resided over the last five years" so you would only put your current address in this section.

2. We used approximate dates for a couple of the employment entries. It was not a problem. 

3. You write a brief description of your in-person meeting on the actual form, and include evidence of that meeting in the packet you send (such as photos together, passport stamps, hotel receipts, flight info, etc). 

4. No, the requirements for the I-129f is that you met in person at least once in 2 years, which is completely separate to how you "met" online. 

5. You disclose the conviction on the form and include the court documents in your packet. 

6. Put N/A in the blank spaces. We personally didn't do this in EVERY blank space, but made sure to do so in the first part of any section with no info. However, if you want to be extra careful you can do it in every blank space. 

7. The format looks correct.

 

Also just a side note - it is helpful to do a cover letter to go on top of your packet. You can find many, many examples around the forum. 

 

Good luck!

Thanks! Also, one more question—in my fiancée's birth certificate, it says "unknown" on his birth place, but he knows exactly where he was born—the city and all that. Should we follow what's on the birth certificate in the I-129f or just put the city of his birth place anyway? 

 

I mean, if ever, someone could testify for him that he was born there, (like his family), but we just really want to make sure that we're not going to get an RFE for it...

Put the actual place of birth, even if not listed on the BC.

 

Note that the USC petitioner's birth certificate is not required for the I-129F as long as he is able to submit other proof of US citizenship, such as a copy of the bio page of his valid US passport.
