Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative

Copy of petitioner birth certificate ,

Copy of petitioner passport, Naturalization Certificate, SSN and State ID

If the birth certificate is not from the US, do not include it. You will ONLY need to submit the naturalization certificate as proof of US Citizenship. Anything else is superfluous.

Copy of beneficiary’s SSN

Copy of beneficiary’s birth certificate

Copy of MS Degree Certificate (Successful completion of course)

These items are not relevant to the I-130. Best not to include them.

Copy of intending immigrant’s I-94 and Passport(all Pages)

Only the I-94 is necessary.

This is not necessary or required. (I assume you mean the SS card.)

I-864 Affidavit of Support (filed by Spouse)

Form I-864 filed by U.S. Spouse

Copy of Sponsor’s Naturalization certificate and Passport(all pages)

Copy of Sponsor’s Birth Certificate

Form I-864 filed by Joint Sponsor(LPR)

Form I-864A filed by Joint Sponsor’s wife(LPR) as they filed tax together

===============================================================================

Copy of Marriage Certificate(Original sent along with application I-130 and I-485

Don't send originals. It specifically states this in the instructions for ALL of the forms. They will ask for it if they need it.

I understand you're trying to be through, but including more than is required/necessary can slow down the process, confuse them, and possibly reveal something that doesn't need to be revealed. Only submit what is asked for on the forms.

Best of luck.

Agree with the above post. Do not include originals, do not include transcripts and degree copies, basically do not include anything else besides what they ask for. It does not help them to make a faster decision if they are buried in paper. Have all those things available if they ask for them, or for the interview. Good luck.

Also I believe only 1picture of your spouse is required.

[shranjan84 5]

Thanks guys, I know some of things I added does not make sense. I added as a attorney asked to do so on a website , So not to take chance I added everything.

I will make the necessary changes as you suggested.

[shranjan84 5]

even for marriage certificate do i need to send copy ? would it need to certified?

[shranjan84 5]

I saw ppl sending birth certificate of beneficiary with form 130, is it not required?

[CC90 90]

even for marriage certificate do i need to send copy ? would it need to certified?

No. You can and are supposed to send a copy.

I saw ppl sending birth certificate of beneficiary with form 130, is it not required?

Not for the I-130, but it is required to adjust status (the I-485). Just be sure to include a (translated) copy within the package.

[shranjan84 5]

No. You can and are supposed to send a copy.

Marriage certificate which I am talking is the artifact of marriage which court gave me after marriage $2 each, so I got multiple copies, I am not sending the one pastor and witness signed, do i need to send a copy of that too?

I have to get it translated only if its not in english right? I got my BC issued in enlish only from my country.

thanks for support,My package is way lighter now.

It depends on your state. Send the copy of whichever document legally binds your marriage. In some states, this is simply a copy of the executed marriage license. In others, it is a separate marriage certificate. If in doubt, you can send what makes you feel comfortable. Based on what you said, it sounds like that $2 document should work. If there's any question, it will be discussed at the interview where you have all of those documents to show.

Then you're all set!

Do I need to send certified copy of Birth certificate for I485?

[Hypnos 6,576]

No, send no original documents with the application.

Enclose a photocopy of the birth certificate, not an original certified copy.

[LSnBigBear 61]

I might be wrong but doesn't it cost $1070 for AOS? I like the $470 number better....

[DandT14 272]

I might be wrong but doesn't it cost $1070 for AOS? I like the $470 number better....

$420 for the I-130 and $1070 for I-485

So, $1490 by my math.

[shranjan84 5]

[shranjan84 5]
