What Asal cannot legally advise on

  • We do not provide legal advice, legal opinions, or case strategy.
  • We do not represent you before USCIS or immigration court.
  • We do not decide whether you qualify for a benefit — USCIS or the relevant agency decides.

Prior visa refusals, criminal history, or complicated prior marriages should be reviewed with a licensed immigration attorney.

I-129F document checklist

  • Petitioner U.S. citizenship proof
  • Evidence the couple met in person within the required period (when applicable)
  • Intent-to-marry evidence for fiancé(e) cases
  • Passport biographic pages and photos
  • Divorce or death records ending prior marriages
  • Certified translations

Your case may need additional documents. We give you a tailored checklist during a free document review.

Fees and official sources

USCIS filing fees change periodically and vary by category, age, and filing method. We do not quote government fees from memory. Always verify the current I-129F filing fee, payment method, and any form-specific fee rules on the official USCIS page before you submit.

Processing times for I-129F vary widely by service center, workload, and case complexity, and they change month to month. Check current estimates with the USCIS processing-times tool and your receipt notice rather than relying on a fixed number. Filing a complete, well-organized packet is the best way to avoid Requests for Evidence that add delay.

USCIS government filing fees are separate from Asal document-preparation fees and change over time. Always verify the current fee and form edition on USCIS.gov before filing.
