Where to file I-129F Fiance Visa Petition? – 12. August, 2010

Hi guys… As far as I know this form must be filed in the US.. what about we send it to our friend in the US and then he send it to visa center..something like this… the question is: Is it possible??

Where you submit the I-129F petition depends on where the US sponsor is permanently resident.

It sounds like the sponsor and fiance are overseas? It that is the case, and if the US sponsor is permanently resident overseas, (depending on the country, resident there at least 6 months), then you file the petition directly to the US consulate in the country the Fiance and Sponsor are currently living in.

If the Sponsor is traveling, then he should submit the petition to USCIS in the USA.

In cases of submitting to the USCIS in the USA, the package is sent by mail. So you don’t need a “friend” to get involved. Just mail it from whereever you are in the world, to USCIS in the USA.

At USCIS.gov is the form I-129F. Also is its instructions. The instructions tell you exactly which addresses to use when submitting.

The K-1 visa gives your Fiance the opportunity to enter the USA in order to marry you. If the marriage takes place before her visa expires, she can ‘apply to stay’, this is called Adjustment of Status. When her request is approved, she gets a drivers license sized id, called a Green Card which proves she has permission to stay and work.

Just like when you applied for the Fiance visa, you must prove to Homeland security that you have a genuine relationship. Now in addition you must ALSO prove that you are living together as man and wife.

What you should do is:

1. Marry early within 90 days of your fiance’s arrival to the USA. Obtain your Marriage Certificate.

2. As soon as married, start working on a ‘paper trail’ of documents that help you demonstrate a genuine marriage, and cohabitation.

Open Joint accounts for Banking. Such as Checking, savings, credit cards. Make sure monthly statements show both names and your current home address

Add her name to utility bills, such as phone, gas, electric, water, sewer

Add her name to your lease if you rent

Get her a drivers license, showing your current home address

3. Arrange her appointment with a ‘Civil Surgeon’ approved by Homeland security, who will confirm (I-693) she has all required vaccinations.

4. After you have the above ready, then submit your Petition Package I-485 to USCIS. Often Green cards are issued within a few months, but sometimes they take much longer. If you think your Spouse may need to work, or travel outside the USA before her Green Card is approved, you can at the same time apply for immediate permission for her to work (Employment Authorization, I-765) and for immediate permission for her to travel (Advance Parole, I-131)
