[~AnGeL~ 0]

What supporting documents goes with the DS-230 for IR5 petition to my mom? Would you guys please help me?

I saw a lot of DS-230 checklist online but a lot of them are for spouse & fiancee...

My mom is in the Philippines does NBI clearance good enough? or does she still need a police clearance?

Please help!

Filled-up DS-230 singed part I

Fileld-up DS-230 unsigned part II

together with:

1. Her original birth certificte

2. Her original marriage contract

3. Original death certificate of husband (if widow)

4. NBI Clearance

5. 2 photographs

6. Biographic copy of her passport

I think that's about it. If I miss something, I know there will be other people who can fill that for me.

and one more thing, if she stayed in other country for six months or so, she needs to provide the orignal Police Clearance from that country.

Marriage certificate is not needed if you only petitioning your Mom.

I know it's not "listed" but there was a person here on VJ where she got an RFE because of her mom's marriage contract. I guess because the name of her mother is different on her birth certificiiate.

So I guess it's not bad to have one. Just in case.

You also need to attached your NSO copy of birth certificate, original marriage contract and copy of your Naturalization certificate. I got an RFE because I only send the copy of my BC and MC on the DS-230.

So basically we need to submit in originals (except for naturalization) all that we submitted with the I-130, in DS-230? Kinda redundant huh. And then our mom would need to have those orginals with her during the interview, right? So, it's better to get a ton of originals from NSO then. Thanks for the input!
