Things I did not see on the Step by Step Instructions for CR1/IR1

[Johnny G 0]

I have read step by step instructions about bringing my wife to the U.S. NOA2 Approved was received on 12 Feb 09. This is for CR1/IR1. I did not get these things from the intructions:

1- The documents that are not in English. Do they have to be translated from Spanish into English? The country where the consulate is located at is Spanish speaker region.

2- Do I need to send the same documents I sent in the I-130 to the NVC?

3- My wife is currently in Uruguay and I in U.S. The DS 230 has to be signed by her. Can I sign for her since it would take time and money if she actually do it? As I read in the instruction, I send the DS 230 here to the NVC

Thanks for your support.
