I've seen some sources online saying different things, so I just want some clarifications.
When making the letter of intent to marry, can I use a already made sample and fill out our names in the respected areas?
Does the letter of intent to marry need to include how we met, when we met, etc. or is that done on a separate, declaration letter?
Do both parties need to make declarations of how we met, or just the petitioner should make one?
I've also seen sources say I (the petitioner) need my birth certificate, drivers license, and passport. Do I need all of these? I've seen other sources say I only need a birth certificate. What about the beneficiary? Will he need to provide his passport, birth certificate, etc.?
Also, we aren't "officially" fiancés yet, he told me he will propose to me whenever he comes back to the US in April-July. The ring he wants to use is passed down from family in WW2, so there's no receipts. We obviously DO intend to get married, I just want to get this form in as soon as I can since the wait times are ridiculous. Is it still okay to send it now? I don't want to send it while he's in the US because I don't want to fill out I-94.
I'm sorry for asking so many questions, I just want to make sure I get everything right and that I understand fully 😭 I tend to misunderstand what I read so I just want clarification.
