I -130

[sepjon 0]

hi folks

just have a quick question.

I am filing a petition for my wifes parents mother and father. I understand i need to make separate applications for each parent. Do I need to make separate copies of my wifes citizenship birth certificate etc for each application as well? They will go on the same envelope anyways.

Thanks for any info

from what i can tell they'd be two seperate petitions so two different sets of evidence therefore two different copies, just my take on i, someone will come along that has done the process and will tell you how they did it

here is the link to the I-130 instructions

Your wife can petition for her parents and she will need to file an I-130 for each of them individually. Each packet will contain the same exact documents.You dont need to make copies of the citizenship certificate.you can send 2 copies of her bio page of the passport

are you just filling out the paperwork for your wife? because she is the one filing for her parents, so really she should be filing them. maybe you just worded it wrong, because you can't petition for them, your wife has to.

yes, separate birth certificates, parents marriage licenses, if there are any divorce decrees. and if they are in any other language than English she has to attach a translation into English. two separate packages and payments sent in one big envelope.
