Letter of Intent?

[Bill & Li Hong]

I'm here in Beijing for a few more days and am going over the things I came to get from Li Hong for submitting the I-129F when I return to the USA.

On her Letter of Intent do I put her family name first (Chinese) or last as she refers to herself? Does the letter need a notary to be official?

Hey Bill,

 

When Haiqing and I did our letters of intent for sending with the I-129 petition I let her write it herself (actually, I typed it but she told me what to write) and I did not correct her English which I felt was important because it was in her words. At the bottom we typed her name in pinyin like this:

 

[given name] [family name]

Haiqing XXXXXXXX

[here she signed her name in pinyin exactly as typed above]

[here she signed her name in Chinese characters in Chinese fashion]

[date]

 

We did not have our letters of intent notarized for the I-129 petition. I did have my updated Evolution of Relationship/Letter of Intent notarized for the interview, that one should be notarized.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Best of luck to you both!

Bob
