DCF in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia

[Dr.Sailor 0]

Good Day everbody...

Im a Saudi and my wife is american citizen, I would like to start a new thread regarding DCF in Saudi Arabia, my personal experince in particular..

I went with my wife today to the American Consulate in Dhahran to file I-130, the documents we took:

1- I-130 form

2- G-325a forms, one for me and one for my wife

3- The original US passport of my wife and ALL pages copy, but the officer took the original passport and made a copy herself

4- The original passport of me, she made a copy also

5- The original marriage certificate with official translation

6- 2 passport-size photos, one for me and one for my wife

7- A cash fee for I-130, 355$ which was about 1340 SR

The officer explained to us what immigrant visa means, and we were asked whether we fully-understand the issue, we said YES!

Then the officer gave us a reciept of the fee, and said she will send the application to the US embassy in Riyadh, which will further contact us by mail

That is it for now... will update you in case of any developments

Any questions are welcomed...

Good luck VJs
