You are here because you wanted to get information about applying your petition for your Fiancé(e). I am going to share here some important information in applying petition for alien Fiancé(e) for you to have a reference and guide. Let's get started! IntroductionThe instructions in USCIS website can change each time they generate or update their information or instructions for your package. Carefully read all instruction pages each time the USCIS updated their website for your petition package. Take note that all applicants who want to apply as immigrants must obtain a passport to enter the USA, including children. If the immigrants do not have passports yet they should apply for one in their country now! What is this Form I-129F?This is the form you can use to petition to bring your fiancé(e) to get a K1 visa and her/his children to get a K2 visa to enter U.S. for marriage to you, or to bring your spouse to get a K3 visa and her/his children to get a K4 visa to enter U.S. to apply for lawful permanent resident status. You will need to go to the USCIS.gov to download the form. There are 13 pages for the form and 15 pages for the instructions on how to fill-out the form. As of today, the 04/10/17 is the edition of the form. You should check the edition of the form before you print it out. You can find the edition date at the bottom of the page on the form and instructions. A new edition of this form is always updated and coming soon. You may file for the meantime using this 04/10/17 edition. Steps In Filing The Petition1. Take the time to carefully review each form for accuracy. Please download the form instructions from the USCIS website, read and follow the form filing instructions. Do not forget to sign your forms after you complete them electronically. If you prefer hand written answers, just use black ink. Make sure your entries are neat and clean, legible and within the space provided. Do not use highlighters or correction fluid or tape if you made mistakes or error, just start all over again with a clean form. The scanners they use will not properly read information that is grayed out, highlighted or corrected using correction fluid or tape. When you are filing multiple forms, please write your name, date of birth, and A-Number (if any) exactly the same way on each form. 2. Assemble Your Application, Petition. The USCIS recommends each applicant to assemble their package in the following order: 1. Check or money order. You may pay the fee with a money order, personal check, or cashier’s check. Please write the form you are filing and your A-Number on the check or money order. The filing fee is $535 at the moment, please check for the changes from time to time at the USCIS website. When filing at a USCIS Lockbox facility, you may also pay by credit card using Form G-1450, Authorization for Credit Card Transactions. If you pay by check, you must make your check payable to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Please note that service centers are not able to process credit card payments. 2. Form G-1145, Request for e-Notification (if applicable) 3. Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative (if applicable) 4. Cover Letter. Do not forget to sign the cover letter. The cover letter will only list the primary documents. Documents not listed on the cover letter should be placed at the back of the packet.
