I purchased picture from walgreens. Can I staple them to a paper to explain. (Merged threads)

[Lee Thacket 29]

(1) Has the petitioner got a criminal record?

(2) is the petitioner a multiple-filer?

(3) do you have good evidence of having met in person in the last two years e.g passport stamps and/or boarding passes?

 

No, no and yes = good chance of approval.

 

(I didn't buy any clothing or jewellery except a ring for my fiancée. The receipt for that and the engagement meal did not form part of the eventually approved I-129F evidence packet.)

USCIS doesn't ask for originals of any documents in the I-129F application, so don't send your originals.  Just make a copy of the receipts onto an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper and then type or write your notes and explanations on the sheet of paper.  You could also put two related receipts onto one sheet this way.  This will be much easier for anyone handling the case, and reduce the risk of things getting lost, and you will retain the original receipts.  They can always ask to see originals later if they really want to.

This is the way to go. We put all original evidence such as scans of boarding passes, scans of passport stamps etc on a word doc and put captions. Never send originals to USCIS, photocopies only.

The receipt for that

Same here. We didn’t even have a ring at that point but if we did, we would not have included that in the packet either.

Ok there not originals she actually has those. I will tell her to mail then to me. But since there sent to me as photos and very big can't format them I to a word document and wanted to write on them.

 

That's interesting I thought to be a finance means your engaged. So you would need engagement photos and the receipts. I have attached photos of the engagement. And wanted to include rings. But I don't need to? How do they know she's your fiance if your not engaged?

[JSV21 1]

So If that is the case. I don't have a proposal photo do I need that? I have the rest I have the itinerary that I wnet there, ticket reciept,

, photos of us meeting twice at least.

[powerpuff 6,725]

The letter of intent is pretty clear that that is your fiancé. If you read though official requirements, there’s not a word on engagement photos or rings or engagement proposal photos.

[JSV21 1]

Understood but that not everyone cultures

 We do engagement ceremony that's were you do the rings. At the wedding there is nor rings we don't exchnage those at the wedding. And our wedding is completely different.

Being engaged is merely a commitment to get married. Ultimately, you prove that by getting married within 90 days of entering the country on a K-1 fiancée visa.

It would have rude to remove the ring from the finger and put it in the I-129F evidence packet.

[JSV21 1]

Ok so no engagement photos or reciepts, its weird since an actually ceremony shows your committed. but its cultural too since we don't do rings at the wedding etc.

 

Anyway should I write on the restaurant receipt copy Im sending? is it ok to write on it. since I mentioned we went to this restaurant and have a picture and then have the receipt. Since other posts say  photos can be manipulated well a receipt and a picture is a double whammy. Just don't know if I should write on this is the receipt of when we went to social et.c is it ok to write on that.

 

The Itinerary and the receipt of my  airline ticket do I need to write on this I mean its self explanatory. I can include a sheet that says proofs and paper clip it together.  Is that necessary? 

 

Then the additional information I included a separate paper for additional work history. Do I sign and date this? Then do I sign and date the separate paper I wrote of how we met?

 

The finance intent letter I put I (my name) do. hereby state that I am legally able and will to marry (thier name) and intend to do in 90 days of her arrival in the US using K1 visa.  Is this correct or will they say something since I mentioned using k1 visa because im not using it she is right so do I eliminate the last sentence? 

 

Last does the date of when you sign matter like lets say I put Mondays date on all papers then ship mail it tesudau or Wednesday will they say how come it was sign x day and it came x day?

Eliminate nothing.  Use the standard template from here.  She needs to provide her statement, too.

No.  Please follow the Guides and avoid sweating these details.

[JSV21 1]

[TBoneTX 45,497]

Yes.  Remember that each of you has to provide a Letter of Intent.

Your declaration of intent, a required supporting document with the petition, is the only "proof" you need of planning to get married.  Your signed declaration is a promise to get married.

There is no cultural or legal standard for getting engaged in the US.  You simply say that you are.  The K1 visa requires you officially make a statement along those lines.
