I-130 questions

[PhiLandShiR 18]

Greetings,

We just filed for Mom-in-Law and I am starting work on the DS-230 paperwork.

As I expect that we will handle all of the paperwork we can from this end, should we be requesting passport style photos from Mom?

If so, should they have the Royal Blue background as required in the Philippines or should we tell her to get white backgrounds?

We plan to fill out the form and email it to Mom so she can print it, sign it and snail mail it back to us.

How many copies should she send us? Of the DS-230 as well as how many photos??

Also, my wife takes care of the kids and does not work so how should we go about filling out the I-864 form?

Use my info's for income and such??

Thanks for any help you may give.

Yup. I have read through all that and its just as confusing as most other government pages I have read.

That is why I asked my questions here....

Greetings,

We just filed for Mom-in-Law and I am starting work on the DS-230 paperwork.

If so, should they have the Royal Blue background as required in the Philippines or should we tell her to get white backgrounds? US passport-style photos (white background)

We plan to fill out the form and email it to Mom so she can print it, sign it and snail mail it back to us.

How many copies should she send us? Of the DS-230 as well as how many photos?? Four (4) passport photos. This way you keep the two (2) as back up copies.

Also, my wife takes care of the kids and does not work so how should we go about filling out the I-864 form? The petitioner (your wife) will fill out I-864. The co-sponsor household member ( you the spouse) will fill up I-864A.

Use my info's for income and such?? If you filed taxes jointly, then copies of tax returns or tax transcripts for the last 3 years. Employment letter, paystubs for the last 6 months, proof of citizenship ( e.i BC or US passport)

Thanks for any help you may give.
