Hi, I'm new to this group.

I was wondering about the Letter of Intent to marry. Is there any
advantage to having it be impersonal (just a statement) vs. personal
(maybe describing your plans)? I was thinking it would make more sense
to have it describe your plans, but if the processors would prefer a
more form letter then I'd rather do that. The only samples I could
find on a web search were very form-letter like. Is that what they
prefer?

Thanks in advance,
Rebecca

Hey Rebecca:

Here is an example:


To whom it may concern:

I,<name in full> do hereby state that I am legally able and willing to marry <fiancé(e)'s name in full>, and intend to do so within 90 days of his/her entry into the United States using the K-1 Visa. Our intended wedding date, pending timely approval of the I-129F Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) and K-1 Visa, is <wedding's date>

Sincerely

<name in full>


Don't break your head thinking.. It is very simple

Welcome!
I don't think anyone can tell you what they prefer.
Our letter, and I think most of these letters, are what you call
impersonal. I don't think USCIS cares about your plans. Others may
disagree, but I would go with the "form letter".

Hi Rebecca,

My fiance and I just wrote about a paragraph each, we made it a little bit personal. We said briefly how we met, why we are choosing to marry in USA instead of Turkey, that we intend to marry within 90 days of entering on the K-1, and that we intend to reside permanently in the USA. It wasn't even a letter, or a form letter, it was just a paragraph in our own handwriting, and signed by each of us (not notarized or anything).

We probably didn't even need to write as much detail as we did, but we enjoy telling our story. LOL

Best Wishes,
Rene

goth,

I observe that "original statements ... to establish your mutual
intent" are what is asked for. Statements not letters, intent not
plans.

Which is not to say that a statement of intent must be impersonal and
cannot include a description of one's plans.

Regards, JEff

Are you talking about the letter that needs to be included with the I-129F?
We just wrote very basic ones, supplying just the information they asked
for. Something like this:

I, Eric S, certfiy that I am free to marry and will do so within 90
days of entering the US.

Our I-129F was approved no problem.
