Package is COMPLETE I'm being told by the wifey! So I just want to make sure before she sends that everything looks okay to your experienced folk:

Here is the Cover Letter that includes a list of everything in the package:

To the Officer-In-Charge


Attached is the petition for, I _______________, to bring my wife, ______________, a Canadian Citizen, to live with me in the United States of America. The following is a summary of all that is included in this petition package.

Contents Include:
-Payment for the filling fee in the amount of $420 USD
-Completed form G-1145

-Completed and signed from I-130

-Copy of full birth Certificate of US Citizen
-Copy of marriage certificate and license

_______________________

You think we will run into trouble since we only have saved confirmations from 2010-2012 and same with our skype logs? We really have nothing saved afterwards. So I just hope that wont be a red flag. We do however have photos from 2013, just not with actually physical dates on them (but we put a brief description and dates on them.)

We do not have boarding passes because we just never thought to save them and we don't have stamps in our passports because they are not required for travel between the US and Canada.

Just don't wanna send this out if it seems really incomplete. It is just the first part after all.

Thanks so much for any advice in advance!

Package looks good.

Do you photos to include? It could be selections from the lifespan of your relationship. If you don't have passport stamps, the iterenaries is ok.

Do you have any bills or money transfer receipts in both names? You can include car rental receipts too.

Good luck!
