Hi, all.

I married a Slovak citizen (in Slovakia) this past summer, and after she gets some things wrapped up there, I am going to submit an I-130 for her to move here.

Looking at the requirements for the petition, it appears that I have almost everything I will need, but I have a couple of questions.

1. It does not specify that the documents need to be certified 90 days before submission. Is it OK if they are older? I have her birth certificate, her divorce paperwork, birth certificate (all translated into English), but they were translated when I was in Slovakia back in July. Will those still be valid if I include them in the petition package? I just ask because during our marriage, it seemed none of the paperwork could be certified older than 90 days!

2. Would I need additional materials (beyond the marriage certificate) to prove a "bona fide marriage"? Since she is not here, we really don't have any joint property, though I did add her onto my auto insurance. (No idea why I did it this early!) :lol:

Thanks very much in advance!

Take care,

Eric
