Do You Have a Sample Cover Letter for an I-129F Petition for a Foreign National Fiancé?

Tue Oct 03 2023 12:25:28 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

You don't have to include a letter when you send in Form I-129F, which is the request for your fiancé from another country. But adding a letter with your I-129F can make explaining what you're asking for easier.

Just make sure your letter is brief and straightforward. Keep it short when you're explaining what the letter is for.

Template for the I129F Cover Letter

usa-immigrations.com provides sample cover letters for Form I-129F that you can use. We have one for when you're applying for your fiancé (this is for the K1 visa requests) and another one for when you're applying for your spouse (this is for the K3 visa requests). Choose the one that fits your situation and make changes to make it your own.

You can look at these example letters for Form I-129F to get an idea. But don't send them as they are — make sure to change them to match your own situation. 

Also, remember that these sample letters don't list all the documents you need. Use your filing instructions to ensure you include the right documents with your Form I-129F. 

While you don't have to include a letter when you send Form I-129F, it can clarify why you're making the request and why it might need extra attention.

Errors in your I-129F request can lead to expensive delays or rejection.
