missing from this list:
1.129F petition, signed and dated.

she had hers done in Chile and mine here in the US, but they are both within
the Spec.
2. attachment explaning that my fiancees name is WWWXXX YYY ZZZ and that her
father's name is YYY but there isn't enough room on the for for all 4 names
so we used WWW XXX YYY.
3.attachment for Q#19, have we met and seen each other
4. 2 (4 page) sets of G-325A complete with N/A or NONE in all the right
boxes. signed and dated.
5. my genuine raised seal birth certificate (clerk certified)

9. copies of plane tickets, cruise tickets, hotel receipts, etc.
10. copies of phone bills
11. copies of emails spanning the duration of our relationship.
12 letters of intent from each of us, signed and dated.

Thanks Guys. maybe I can relax in a few months, lol.

Hi there..good luck...I, being very anal about pretty much everything, spent
endless hours making sure it was perfect.
Big advice from my attorney...present it exactly as they have asked. Neatly and
in an organized fashion. Two holes at the top..(forget what they are called)

quickly, we just received our approval this week.. I wish you only the best!

I would NOT give them the original of your birth certficate. Also, in giving both your B/C and your passport -- you are already engaging in belts & braces. The passport is BINDING on the INS for a determination of citizenship.
In fact, you are doing a lot of belt & braces -- but no harm no foul and you want it in the refrigerator with the light out and butter getting cold, I guess.
No,you don't need the I-134 with the petition.

Sounds like you have everything in order!! Best of luck to both of you -- which service center are you using?
Also -- VERY important question -- can you tell me how she's going about getting a Chilean police certificate??
Here's the thing: Mark and I are bouncing the idea around of living in the UK once we're married. I lived in Chile for two years (1995-97); therefore, I'd need a police certificate from there.
However, I haven't been able to find ANY information about how to obtain one... The Chilean consulate's website is NO help at all. And unfortunately, I work during the consulate's operating hours and therefore can't phone them for info.
ANY information you can provide on this would be MUCH appreciated -- mailing addresses, phone numbers, contact names, fees, documentation requirements, etc.
Here's what I can tell you, if this helps:
• I still have the following in my possession...
~ Expired passport with my temporary and work visa stamps inside
~ Cédula (national identity card)
• I lived in Santiago both years; Lo Barnechea the first year, Las Condes the second
Thanks in advance for whatever you can tell me, I'd really appreciate it!!

I'm not sure what country's visa would require the Chilean police certificate, but as always, I went to the "Visa Reciprocity Tables" at http://travel.state.gov and looked up Chile. The police certificates seem to be available only to Chilean Citzens and aliens RESIDENT IN Chile. So if you are a former resident of Chile without Chilean Citizenship, you can't get it.

In order to apply for a UK spousal visa, I need a police certificate from every country I've lived in for more than one year from the age of 16. Therefore, I need one from Chile because I lived there for two years.

"Chilean citizens abroad may apply through the nearest Chilean Consulate, which will forward the application to the Civil Registry. Foreigners resident in Chile who have a Chilean Identity Card follow the same procedures as Chilean citizens."
Although I am not resident in Chile, I DO have my Chilean Identity Card (cédula) from my time there. While it does not say how a foreigner who once lived in Chile and has a cédula goes about obtaining a police certificate, it doesn't specifically say you CAN'T get one. But do I assume that's the case, just because this site doesn't specifically say one way or the other?? Or do I assume that I need to go to the Chilean consulate in DC to obtain one, just like a Chilean expat would have to?
Ggrrrr..... I hate vague governmental information...

What makes you believe the UK spousal visa application requires you to
provide a police certificate?

That information is NOT "vague" at all. I do agree it would be clearer if it was like the one for Spain which clearly stated who could NOT get them. However, you do NOT fit within any of the classifications for whom the clearance is available -- you may have that cedula but you are NO LONGER resident in Chile. So its not available.
I suggest you to talk to the UK authorities and see what they want. You can't provide what is not available.
