A few I-129F K-1 questions and sanity check.

Hello everyone, me (petitioner) and my fiancee (beneficiary from Peru) have been gathering documents and evidence to send off our I-129F packet by end of this month. Our case should be fairly straightforward, neither of us have been married or have kids, no criminal record or anything like that. That being said I've never submitted paperwork like this and it feels a bit overwhelming. Really want to make sure everything is proper and we will not get a RFE. I've followed along with the instructions webpage here on visa journey but do have a few questions:

 

  1. Her address she gave me is very long and will not fit typed nor wrote in manually comfortably. Would it be fine to just write something along the lines of See Part 8. Additional information 3.a. - 3.d. While providing the full address in box 3.d.?
  2. Receiving paper mail is not really a thing for her as well. Should I leave the mailing address blank and write N/A? Or instead enter the address in anyway and state in the cover letter she can't receive mail reliably? She has an email which I can include.
  3. Related to last question, the I-129F asks for my email but not the beneficiary. Would the best place to include her email be the cover letter, or what would be recommended?
  4. I'm including pages edited in Microsoft Word with photos of us together some of which include her family and captions below each photo with a general statement of where we were in Peru at the time. I'm also creating and including pages with scanned receipts some which have my passport number on them which is useful. Should I add captions below each receipt for context or would that be overkill/unnecessary?
  5. My boarding passes were digital and never printed. I want to include my boarding passes which still exist in my iPhone wallet as expired passes. They only have information such as name of destination airport and arrival airport, with flight number and passenger name. There is no date or year on these boarding passes. Should I include these anyway along with itinerary/receipts of these flights and their dates from my email?
  6. Lastly, Peruvians use 2 last names one from mother and one from father [First] [Middle] [Last] [Last]. Being nonstandard in USA should we include both last names in the last name field on the I-129F?

 

I apologize if this is a bit much we just want to do everything proper! Thanks to everyone for any and all information.

1.  No worries just abbreviate, nothing gets sent to her anyway.

2.  See #1

3.  You can 

4.  Annotating is allowed.  Photos are secondary evidence, don't waste a bunch of time, focus on primary evidence.  (I sent zero pictures with my petition, so that shows you how much value picures have).

5. Sure

6. Sure

A cover letter isn't even necessary, except perhaps as an inventory list (reminder) for yourself.

 

On the mailing-label of the outer envelope in which you eventually send everything, put "ORIGINAL I-129F" on it.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).
