Marrage Consent Letter

[Luke and Deanna 0]

Hi everyone.

My Fiancee is only 17, and her state requires she have a letter of concent from a parent. Just wondering if someone could just type up an example of what needs to be said on this form and how I should lay it out.

Cheers for any help.

A letter of consent for your fiancee's parents, is her parents' responsibility. I take it she is the petitioner. If she and her family can't figure out how to write such a letter on their own, I would have serious doubts about the validity of your case. The letter is a simple statement that could be as short as a single sentence, plus a date and signature.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Check State requirements and check with Clerk of Court.

Hi, yes she is the petitioner. The reason I ask is because I know that everything has to be just right with the application and I don't want to delay it by missing something obvious. I kind of thought it was a silly question, but I always like to double check.

The only reason i am doing this form is because I am printing everything out. I will obviously get it signed by her parents before sending.

This forum is designed to help people so thats why I asked this question, not to have someone respond in such a childish way. You don't ask, you don't know.

Cheers

I have checked. We require a letter of consent from a parent. As there are example forms on the site of how to write a cover letter and fiance intent letter, i just figured there might be a certain way this letter needed to be worded.

Thanks for your responce

Unfortunately, you're making your relationship sound like you're arranging for a wife. The process is intended to be one where the USC petitioner makes arrangements for their fiance(e) to apply for a K1 visa, so they can marry in the US. As such, she and her parents take the lead. Your need to draft a letter of consent for a 17 year old's parents furthers this impression. The letter should be in their words, giving their permission for their daughter to marry you. It's pretty darn simple. The local requirements aren't part of the petition process. Her parents can deal with that if she still needs it by the time you arrive and are ready for a wedding.

Can she even apply for the K-1 at the age of 17?

She's not the applicant. She's the USC petitioner. The answer is yes, she can.

That surprises me. What is the age requirment then?

I am not making our relationship sound like anything. I was just asking a simple question...ok, very simple question. I got that.

As for it all being on her back. Me and My fiancee are doing this together as it is not a very easy process, and the reason we are doing it is so that we can be together. I just like to help you know?

I actually thought we needed this letter to include in our I-129 package? But by what you said, we don't need that until we are actualy appling for the licence?

Thanks again for responding

I believe as long as she can marry then she can apply. But correct me if i'm wrong.

When you indicate that local requirements are not a part of the petition process what do you mean?

I mean that if there are specific local requirements to meet at the time the marriage license is applied for must be dealt with locally when they do so. A permission letter written to satisfy USCIS, months earlier is not likely to satisfy the local requirements, if there still are any for permission, by the time they actually apply for a license.

The OP clearly misunderstood, me. I don't know whether a permission letter is required with the petition. He said it was. I'm saying any letter written now, for USCIS, need not take into consideration the local requirements, if there are any beyond simple "permission". For instance, the local requirements for parental permission, my be to use a specific form and sign it before a court clerk.

The OP wasn't the only one you confused. You were misunderstood because you were talking in general speak when he wanted something more specific (his knowledge base of the filing requirements exceeded yours) so all your answers did was add confusion.

From the I-129F instructions under Item 5:

C. If either of you is of an age that requires special consent or permission for you to marry in the jurisdiction where your marriage will occur, give proof of that consent or permission; and

I didn't get that impression at all either. This entire website is to help people with the little parts of the process that could end up hindering a speedy resolution to their case. I was the USC petitioner in my wife's case and she spent many nights online researching different avenues of action, and we even had a lawyer for the entire process. I see nothing wrong in trying to make sure all their ducks are in a row, and if you don't feel like giving them a just response without harsh comments, perhaps you don't need to post?

Do you have some information for the OP or are you just humping my cyberleg again?
