Just wondering whether this paperwork is a shared task in your relationship or if there's one person who takes charge more than the other. Please give reasons and any other details you'd like to share!

I have done all the paperwork with the exception of the stuff Claudeth had to fill out for Manila. I need to take a picture of the I-751 packet, it looks very professional if I do say so myself :P

With the exception of the I-129f packet, I have done the lion's share of the work. J is a great helper though. :)

Ditto for me too. It's not only the forms, but some of the nomenclature that is unfamiliar to my wife (who speaks English quite well).

Most of her contribution was early in the VisaJourney when she had to obtain several documents from various Belarusian government ministries needed as part of our I-129F petition. Jump forward several years later and we have just sent off her N-400 in October to become a US citizen. My next (and hopefully last) chore will be to do the same for my stepdaughter when she will be eligible to apply for US citizenship at the end of 2009.

I have filled out the forms for both my wife and my adult stepdaughter throughout the many steps in this process. I assemble everything and have them look over the assembled packages to double check it for errors or something I might have forgot.

We have managed to do this without an attorney, but our petitions are uncomplicated and have gone through without any major problems we couldn't deal with ourselves.

"Credibility in immigration policy can be summed up in one sentence: Those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave."

"...for the system to be credible, people actually have to be deported at the end of the process."

This was easy, the responsibility falls fully on the petitioner. It is the USC that is doing the petitioning, not the beneficiary. :wacko:

Love the poll!

I thought I was unique, now I see I am not :blush:

It is long known that men (on average) do less housework than women... I see it applies to paperwork as well... at least so far... :unsure:

I'm really interested in everyone's responses! :) I'm the foreign fiancee, a UKC but living in NL, and I'm mostly responsible for our paperwork, although my USC fiance is really supportive and has done everything he has needed to at the right time. I wasn't sure whether most couples were doing this together or if one person was taking charge, hence the idea for the poll.
