Send 2 photos of each of you. The full name of the person whose picture it is must be written clearly on the back of each photo.

Make sure the marriage certificate is in English, or if not, it's translated by a certified translator. (Should be taken to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for authentication, I believe. The translator should take care of it.)

Photocopy of the ID page of your passport.

Copy of your birth certificate. (This and passport copy are used to establish citizenship. If you're a Legal Permanent Resident or LPR, show proof of it.)

Regarding bank transfers. What you want to show them at this point are records of money transfers to your wife and/or her family. If you have proof of joint lease of a house, or a joint bank account, that will help. You can make affidavits by friends and family if you feel you want more proofs of a bona fide marriage.

Good luck!

Thank you so much guys for the reply,I am US citizen so i just have to send them my birth certificate and my passport copy rite? hey I have read at one forum That person says its not good to show them money transfer to wife, may be they think its a business deal, Is it so?? Regarding to bank Transfers, I didn't send my wife money yet, We just got married on 18th of January and we are still together so there is no chance of transferring money to her. I just have receipt from ATM which shows i withdrew money in India, Receipt Not gonna show whom i give it money to though so just wanna make sure if its all rite to send them? We had small ceremony over here so are they gonna ask anything about our ceremony too?? i mean why its just 20 people in the ceremony? and My parents weren't there, it was just me, my wife, and her family and relatives that's it. I m nervous about it now, There was no one from my side to attend ceremony. Hey please explain it to me nicely, Hey how long is it Gonna take for CR1? i heard its easy for spouse if you are citizen, So it means process will be fast ,is it??

My package is finally ready too:D

Took forever...

I am about to write out the check and that is it... It is ok to send personal check, correct?

I have seen so many links here debating whether to send money order or cashiers check versus personal check, and the guide said something like "...if the personal check is allowed". How do I know when it is allowed?

Anyway, anyone wanna put me at ease and tell me personal check is ok?

This is my original sumbission of I-130

Thanks!

My husband used a check from his bank. Sorry I don't know the technical term for it. But we did pay by check.

Money transfers - I know a lot of people who show records of that. It's normal for the husband to support the wife. But it's not necessary.

Ceremony - No, I'm sure they'd understand if your parents couldn't afford to go there if that was the case. You could show package receipts from your folks to you or your wife though, if they've sent you anything. Our parents weren't there in our civil wedding. But we send one another stuff all the time and we call too.

BC and passport copy - Yes.

CR1 - The speed depends on the service center and also on how fast you gather the docs. After you send the I-130, go read the NVC Shortcut (the link is around). Soem can fly through the whole thing in less than 1 month, whereas on average it takes many more months. So my advice is, read that shortcut, get advice from everyone here, keep reading and pray. Also, double check the forms MANY times.
