Step 1: The US citizen fills out a I-129F (Petition for Alien Fiance(e)) and a few related biographic forms (G-325A) and sends them to US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
I downloaded the I-129F form from this page here and have started filling it out. Doesn't seem too tricky. There are a few extra "biographic" forms (G-325A) that go along with it, so don’t forget these. (You can download them here. Not all websites seem to mention that you need to include other items as well. These include 'evidence' that you have met (seen each other) in the past two years, and written statements from you both that you intend to marry.
You will need information for both yourself and for your fiancee, so set aside some time in your next phone conversation or visit, have all your important documents available, and a little patience and just get through it!
Some snags you might encounter:
A# (Alien Registration #) Write N/A if you don’t have one.
Birth certificate number, date issued and place. (Get a copy of your birth certificate so you can have these!)
Have to provide documents evidence that you are a US citizen.
Don't forget:
Biographical forms
Passport size photos
Your $170 payment
There is really NO substitute for carefully reading all the instructions for this part of the process. Everyone's case is going to be slightly different so you may have to provide slightly different documentation.
