I-129F petition - request for evidence

[tealeaf]

Hello, I have finally received an answer from my 7 month wait since I have submitted the I-129F petition for fiance visa. The letter's title is "Request For Evidence" and it says, I quote:

"You must submit evidence that beneficiary intend to marry you within 90 days of the beneficiary's entry to the United States as a K-1. Evidence may include, but is not limited to,
copies correspondence between you and the beneficiary discussing wedding plans, evidence of wedding plans such as announcements, plans made to reserve a venue for the wedding,
or any other evidence of your intent to marry one another, including, for example, an original statement from the beneficiary establishing her intent to marry you within 90 days of her admission to the United States."

So the office is requesting this information and I would like to get advice from people who have been in the same situation.

Once she receives her visa she has 6 months to enter the US and then 90 days to marry after she enters. Our plan is, during the 6 month period we plan on having just our wedding ceramony in Vietnam (her country) without signing any legal marriage contract. Then she will come to the US to sign the actual legal marriage contract. Is this ok to do or must we have the ceramony in the US or must the ceramony be after the legal signing of the contract in the US? We have been talking about wedding plans but all through skype video/voice so there isn't any written proof that we have talked about wedding plans. How can we show the government that we did?

What is the best way to provide evidence with our intent to marry to the government? I have been waiting so long and I don't want to start the petition process all over again. This is why I am looking for advice to make sure I execute this step perfectly so I can get the petition approved asap and move on to the next step of the fiance visa process.

Since my petition has been halted because of this request for additional information, how long will it take for them to finalize the petition after I send them the information?

Did you include "The letter of intent" in your I-129F package? If not, you have to submit them now. You get "The letter of intent" on Google show that you guys are wiling to get married in 90 days when she enter U.S., and the print out then you sign one, your fiancee sign one. If you want to submit them more evidence, you can submit anything you think it will help like the wedding ring receipt, the whatever, .... I submit only "The letter of intent" in the original I-129F package and it was approved.
Once your fiancee get the visa, you guys have to get married within 90 days. You just need the Marriage certificate. I don't know how to get married in your state, but my place California after we show up in the court to sign the contract, we have to hold the ceremony and 2 people sign as witnesses then bring back the court.
I'm sorry for my poor English, tell me clear if you confuse anything

Letters

I just joined the forum and doing lots of reading as my fiancée waits for her visa approval.

To help you with evidence, when we did our I 129 my fiancée and I both submitted letters showing our intent to marry. I also had my sister write a letter.
We still have not heard back since our petition was received 5 months ago.

Good luck.
