First off,

Congratulations buff on your visa! =)

This forum has been an incredible help to myself and my wife, so thanks all for your contribution!

I am a U.S. citizen and myself got married with a beautiful Korean lady this year, and we're about to begin the process for the IV. I've been working in Korea for about 4 years and will probably return within the next two years. I understand most of the steps involved, but I just wanted to make sure that we didn't do anything wrong, and some clarification of the steps would help us out a lot. If you do have some input, that would be of enormous aid to us.

1) At the first step, submitting the I-130... I've read that you have to contact them and have them send you the forms to submit. Did you request them to send it to you? Or can you just download it and then submit it in person after requesting an interview?

2) In regards to proving that you are domiciled in the U.S., does it only mean that I need to document that I have a permanent home in the U.S.? Or does it mean that I have to show that I'm actually physically moving back in the near future. Might I ask what you showed them to prove that you qualify?

3) For the Affidavit of Support (I-864) ? What document did you submit to prove your salary? My pay stubs/yearly report here are in Korean. I heard that all documents need to be in English. (I'm aware that my Korean salary may not even matter, as it won't carry over when I move to the U.S. So I will also have a joint sponsor file an I-864a.)

4) For your Packet 3, did you have to submit information for both people? Or just the non-U.S. citizen? (biographical information, medical exam, and police certificates)

5) For those who went through the U.S. embassy in Korea, did your spouse have to do a special "Emigration Passport"? (I read about this somewhere, but don't see it anywhere else in the Embassy's site) Or is it sufficient to have just a normal valid passport with a few years left before expiration?

Thanks again for your input!!!
