I-129f

[brykit]

I want to bring my fiancee to the U.S. and get married here. I have researched alot of information on the process but now that I am filling out the I-129F form. I am overwhelmed with filling out the information that is required. My information is easy to complete but the information required for her is troubling. A good example is her name. Typically in the U.S. we use three names but she uses four. Maybe I am too much of a perfectionist! The instructions want me to provide copies of evidence that we have personally meet but I am not sure what copies of evidence is required. I have photos of us together and wonder will this be sufficient. We have written and signed statements that we intend to marry when she enters the U.S. Will this be sufficient? She is now divorced and I have copies of her divorce decree but they require any document containing foreign language submitted with the application be accompanied with a full English translation which has been certified as complete an accurate. Do I take the forms to a certified translator?
I will greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Hi,

You are actually applying for a K-1 visa, so please post this question again in the K visas area. People in this part, probably can’t answer your questions as well as in the K visas section. As for the 4 names thing, I don't think that will be an issue. USCIS is used to dealing with this. For example, when we filed our I-129F, we hyphenated my fiancé’s 2 last names. When we received the NOAs, they had kept his two last names separate. They understand that Spanish-speakers often use two last names.

You need more evidence of meeting than photos. If you met in a foreign country, why don't you include copies of plane tickets, make a copy of your passport, showing admission stamps to her country, etc. You need to get creative in finding a paper trail of having met.

We met in this country. So, we included photos, times when we ate out and went to see movies, we each paid with our own credit cards, using the receipts to show that we were together. We also worked together at a school, so I sent copies of our pay stubs from the same date from the school and yearbook pictures showing the staff page. I also included phone call logs and cards that really don't show proof of meeting, and may not be needed, but show an on-going relationship.

I also suggest looking on Visa Journey and Family based Immigration for more help.

Good luck!
