Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / January 2005translating relationship evidence
Hi Everyone! I'm a new guy here, and at the very beginning, trying to get everything together for my I-129f petition. I need to provide evidence of my relationship with my fiance. The application isn't specific on what exactly is required, though I understand from reading things here and there that usually it means (in addition to photos, copies of plane-tickets, etc...) that I need to provide some copies of correspondance (letters, email, etc...). This isn't a problem, except all of our correspondance is in Russian. Will it matter if I just submit photocopies of the letters as they are? or should I have my fiance get everything translated (adding lots of headache, embarrassment, and cost). I actually have another question too, but I'm putting it in a separate post. Thanks, Chris > Hi Everyone! > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Chris If I'm not mistaken, and at this point in the process, you need only provide evidence that you have met in person in the immediate 2 years prior to filing. You aren't obligated to provide copies of correspondence, but if you will sleep better at night as a result, go ahead and have a select few translated - ones that won't embarrass either of you! :) If it's going to be a major headache, photos and airline stubs usually suffice. Ian > Hi Everyone! > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Chris Hi, Ian is correct. You do not have to prove that you have a relationship worthy of a I-129F; simply that you have met in person in the two years prior to filing the petition. If you have passport stamps, airline ticket stubs, travel agency itinerary---anything tangible that proves you were in the same place at the same time. I would also certainly include photos of the two of you together. Good luck. ~SecretGarden > Hi, > Ian is correct.

That seemed to be sufficient for them. Don't forget your letter of intent (or whatever it's called). :) > I just included a few photos of the two of us and photcopies of a few > airline tickets showing that we had visited each other (for example [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Don't forget your letter of intent (or whatever it's called). :) Hi Chris, The only translated item I had to provide with my I-129F submission was my fiance's statement of intent, which he had written in Farsi. You don't HAVE to include evidence of a relationship at this point, but my attorney at the time suggested I include some phone bills and/or correspondence to be on the safe side. That said, I did include some phone bills and just one or two notes we had written each other by hand (we didn't have many of those anyway). I translated the notes myself, nothing major, I just wrote below the Farsi script what it said in English. To be honest, I don't even know if she included all that in my I-129F submission...she collected it from me, but I never saw the complete package she sent. Best Wishes, Rene p.s. - note to self: call lawyer to get files in my possesion. :) We included letters of intent, one from each of us, and a copy of one air plane ticket. That's it. /Nin ----------------------------------- K1 timeline He: USC, She: Swede 2003-10-18 I-129F sent 2003-10-21 Date of 1st NOA 2003-12-04 Date of 2nd NOA 2003-12-23 Received package #3 2004-01-25 Package #3 returned 2004-02-01 Received package #4 with interview date 2004-03-08 K1 Interview and VISA received 2004-03-11 Entered the US on K1, POE: Chicago 2004-04-04 Got married!!! =) 2004-04-30 Filed for AOS, AP & EAD in Albany, NY 2004-06-15 Biometrics 2004-07-24 EAD and AP in hand 2004-09-26 Sent AR-11 to USCIS and moving notification to local office 2004-12-07 RFE to send in one more copy of a birth certificate 2005-01-19 AOS Interview letter, Interview date set to 26th of April 2005, Cleveland OH |
