[darkangel1215 4]

hi there,

I am filipina and got married with american. now we are starting to gather all the documents that we need to send to the USCIS. I am quite confused about the evidence of a bonafide marriage.. I told my husband that just gather all the money transactions( western union), phone calls and text messages, and pics.. so how many pics do we have to send and how many biographic information do we nned to send in filing the I-130?

Do we really need to send a photocopies of supporting evidence?

Please help us..

thanks

Hi angel4life.

The VisaJourney Guides are a very useful resource when you are trying to prepare your petitions on your own. You may want to consult them, they are so helpful. The list of documents and how many pictures are found on the K3 Guide.

USCIS only requires photocopies of your documents unless they give instructions for you to submit originals.

You don't have to prepare a lot of pictures.

For our petition, because we decided to include sworn affidavits from people who were at our wedding, so we included pictures of them in the ceremony and reception. (They were also kind enough to provide a photocopy of the bio page of their passports for us to attach to our affidavits, so it was easy for USCIS to identify them in the pictures we sent )

G-325A is 4 copies each for the Petitioner (your husband) and another 4 copies for the Beneficiary (you). Just fill out one G-325A and print it 4 times.

If you send them originals, they might lose them or not return them to you...you need them later when you have your Embassy interview.

By the way, have you looked into applying for CR1 or IR1? It's a permanent resident application (meaning you get a green card at the end of the process). You get CR1 (conditional 2-year green card) if you have been married to your US Citizen (USC) husband for less than 2 years, and an IR1 (10-year green card) if you have been married for 2 years or more.

It's worth checking out. Just read the Guides.

the main objective for your application is to prove that you marred in good faith (that you were not coerced or just marrying for a greencard etc) so gather all docs that proves this, aside from just western union receipts

I just sent in a few pics maybe 10.. few of the wedding and a few before the wedding and an affidavit from a relative that stated they knew of the relationship and subsequent marriage. I think with the I130 submission you more need to prove you met and got married,,, for the interview you need more substantial documentation as to the continued bonafide relationship.

My two centavos,

I sent in alot of supporting evidence but there are some people who send none and get approved. There is a benefit of front loading the petition with evidence as it gives the CO a chance to see all of that before they even interview you

we sent affidavits,email and chat screenshots copies of letters received and sent and about 6 pics.

Good luck on your journey, I hope its fast and easy
