Filing for spouse visa

[SKluvSH 0]

Hi all,

I ran into this website while googling to find the fastest way possible for my wife to get to USA. I am sure most of you have done same. I have read and gathered information for her visa and the general timeline looks like 6-9 months. It seems quite long time even before starting the process. But after reading everyone here makes us feel we are not alone.

We got married July 8th 2008 and I am going to file for I130 this week. I would appreciate if you guys can point out anything that we can do to expedite as well as avoid anything that is less than obvious. For now we have our marriage certificate from India, our 2 affidavits from 2 family members verifying the marriage ocurrence, passport size individual photos of both of us, proof of my citizenship, each of ours G325A form.

I will be filing 129F as soon as I get the reciept of acceptance for I130 to apply for K3.

Should we send extra documents such as wedding pictures, wedding invitation card, my proof of income and salary or if anything extra that you guys thought was helpful?

Does birth certificate is a good thing to send, although I will be sending her passport photocopy?

Any input will be beneficial. Also do you guys think attorney help make it any faster although I didnt needed attorney for doing my own citizenship filing and I got it in very timely manner.

Thanks and good luck for al of us here.

Hi there, no need to get an attorney.. You and ur spouse can make it on ur own. Many couples here have been doing this by themselves.

Anyways, here are the procedures of K3 :

K3

Just prepare the wedding pics, phone bills and etc. once your spouse is going to have her interview in the her country in India..

Hope this helps you..

GOD bless
