How many forms for the 129 F Visa

[Guest Tony n Terrific]

My SO is still bent out of shape with the correct number of forms we must submit to USCIS. I have tried to access the US gov't sight but I can not retrieve it at the moment.

I have been told by the USCIS that I need to send our divorce decrees, A letter of intent to marry, 4 each of the 129F visa forms, 4 each of 325A forms to USCIS in California. Is this correct? She has once again been told that this not so. Any help on what we really need to send to Uncle Sam. Help!

1 - I-129F

1 - G-325A - For her

1 - G-325A - For you

 

The G-325A is a 4 page form, each page is different, they want all 4 pages printed for each of you.

 

The following page has a good list to follow: Assembling the I-129F Package: Checklist

 

We did not send a separate page on how we met, but completed Part B #18 with the following: Visited her in China Nov 21 - Dec 4, 2004 and introduced to family and friends.

1. Payment as required by USCIS. Use a personal check so you can track the payment. Money Orders are also accepted.
   
2. Cover Letter. Should include a description of what your are petitioning for (I-129F), a table of contents (list everything in the packet). If you need additional room to explain your case, attach a separate sheet (list the attachment on the cover sheet). Make sure to sign and date the cover sheet.
   
3. Form I-129F: Petition for Alien Fiance(e)
