CFO is a hassle <_<

[UNKNOWNvSOLDIER 0]

Ok, so my wife went to go get an updated passport with you married name, and they told her that she needs the Certificate of Attendance from the CFO. My question is, what paperwork does she need to just get the certificate. She doesn't need the sticker and shes not leaving the country yet. I haven't even sent off the I-130 yet. There seems to be no info on what exactly she needs just for the certificate. Help guys! Thanks.

She needs to attend the seminar. Marriage certificate and old passport, along with birth cert and NBI clearance should do it.

Why would she need an NBI?

If you were Divorced I suggest that your wife should bring a copy of your Divorce decree, the counselor might ask for it. And don't forget your Wedding Photo, 1 photo will do.

WOW! I don't know how you were able to get married without it. My wife set up all the paperwork requirements before I arrived and we just attended the appointments on time. She has been to DFA and has her new passport with her married name. We were married 19 Jan 2011 and all is smooth so far.

I wish you good luck.
