This is my first thread, thanks for your help ahead of time.

So we are currently collecting all our documents for the I-129f.

Question 1: My fiancee has 2 records of changing her name.

1. When 15 changes last name from her fathers two her mothers.

2. When 29 changes first name

We have both documents, that prove her name change, do I need to include them in my I-129f? If so, should I provide a copy of her birth certificate, as well as, any other document that is different from her BC. Including, passport and resident ID.

Question 2: Though all her documents have been stamped and signed, she believes that she still needs to get her documents certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Is this true or is a stamp and signature from the office where the document was obtained sufficient.

Question 3: In regards to translated documents, do we need to translate, BC, Identity Card, passport, name change documents, and anything else in thai?

"13. Proof of Legal Name Change if either the US Citizen and/or foreign fiance(e) is using a name other than that shown on the relevant documents. You must give USCIS copies of the legal documents that made the change, such as a marriage certificate, adoption decree or court order."

Question 4: Is the Certification from the certified translator sufficient enough or does it need to be certified some where else?

Question 5: In regards to her parents names, do use the name that is indicated on her BC?, because her father has changed his last name since she was born. He has not been her life for 15 years. What do we do?

If these questions get answered it will clarify a lot for me. I think we might be making it too complicated but the instructions almost seem too easy to be for real.

Also, with regards to the I-129f, it seems to be more about validating my status rather than hers so I was wondering how much of her info should I include.

Thank you so much,

Austin

Thanks, this was very helpful.

I read a lot of those guides but some of them I missed.

I would like to know if I should just go ahead and include all of her certified copies to the uscis for the I-129f, just to avoid any delays.

I hear some saying they don't need her Birth Certificate but since she changed her name I should probably include in right, as well as, the certified translations?

The thing I am mostly worried about is that her name change twice.

Thanks,

Austin

I sent my paper to my fiance and i did not send her my birth certificate ... just when you fill the forms be carefull to fill with the name she has on her passport right now ... i guess you will not no documents from her ... you just need her to fill out some forms and she need to sign them and send them to you by mail ... really this time you are the only one need to do all the work.

I hope you get this right :D !!!

keep in touch,

Rachid.
