Cover letter update --

• Personal check in the amount of $420

• I-130 Petition for Alien Relative

• Copy of Full Birth certificate of Petitioner

• Form G-325A, Biographic Information, with photo of Petitioner

• Form G-325A, Biographic Information, with photo of Beneficiary

Evidence of Bona Fide Marriage:

• Copy of marriage certificate

• Letter explaining our relationship history, marriage, and our future plans together

• Printouts of Webcam calls

• Record of Text messages

• Receipts of money transactions

• Receipts of trips

• Copies of affadavits

• Photo pages as evidence to our bona fide relationship and marriage

-------------------

Is it ok if i just do my birth cert? or should i replace that with my passport? or does it not matter?

I'll put the G-1145 form on top of everything with rubber band as Joevisa stated. :thumbs:

One last question under my evidence, is there anything that doesn't really need to be there? I dont want to provide things that would just complicate things or cause issues.

Thanks, everyone for the help!

God Bless!!

Hello, everyone!

I'm getting everything ready for filing (CR-1). Got all the forms filled out already and putting together the proof now. I made up this cover letter and was wondering if everythign looks good to go? or am I missing somethings/typo? Also should I put CR-1 somewhere on the cover letter? or does it really not matter.

Any help would be greatly appreicated.

Thank you!

Hello, I'm printing out our Text messages from month of nov till now. It's 127 pages full. Is it ok to send all of the 127 pages of text?

If you want to and feel that it is necessary to send all 127 pages of text messages, you can do that. However, you may want to consider selecting just a few messages from over the course of the month and sending those instead.
