I-130 question

[vmm 1]

Before we got Married, I chose a lawyer to handle our K3 visa. I didn't know about this site at that time and I have to say, the info here makes the process a lot less daunting. Anyway, our lawyer tells us we do not need to have any proof of a bonafied marriage when filing the I-130, even though it plainly states that we do. Has anyone filed without the proof of marriage documents and gotten approved?

Thanks,

This is why you hired a lawyer, to read carefully, interpret literally and respond accurately. He's right. Read the I-130 instructions again, carefully, then use a dictionary to look up and compare the definitions of "required" and "should". Pay close attention to the phrase "in addition to the required", then think about whether anything that is mentioned later is "required".

We didn't send any proof of a bonafied marriage when we filed the I-130 and I-129F forms.. Our both petitions were approved! You will need proofs when you go to your interview... It is a long wait to get the approvals of the petitions from USCIS.. It took us 9 months to get the approvals.. It may take less for you..but approx from 6 to 9 months.. I wish you the best of luck!

Vibha and Michael,

When I filed my I-130 and I-129f, I only submitted marriage certificate as proof. I just got approved this week without any RFE. you will be fine as long as you send them marriage certificate.

Good luck!
