Ours was also just the certified true copy from the civil registrar. One filer from phils also sent the same, was approved and is now in the NVC stage (forgot his username though).. I think nvc really requires the nso copy but for uscis, it may depend on the person reviewing ur case.

And thanks klpv for the info!

That's what I thought so. During NVC stage we need to get those stuffs authenticated by NSO.

Uhmm.... you need the NSO copy of your birth, marriage and cenomar/cemar certs and get it authenticated at DFA.

We didn't send any additional evidence with the I-130 forms. We just sent:

1. The required forms and passport sized pics

2. A copy of original marriage certificate (in Urdu),

3. A translated copy of the marriage certificate in English

4. Affidavits of 2 people attesting to having attended our wedding ceremony

Now reading about people sending wedding album pics, Skype/ IM chatlogs, etc. is scaring me. I thought that was only required at the NVC/ interview stage.

Can we/ Should we send the additional evidence now?

Somebody please help. I'm freaking out!

If uscis asks u to send additional docs, then thats the time u send them.. U will be notified and will receive an RFE through mail.. If they wont ask, then ur good. For now lets just chill and wait for the verdict

Thanks.

They should at least give us an RFE if they need sufficient proof instead of downright denial.

I hope everything works out okay for everyone.

Me too didn't submit any proofs other than the marriage certificate and i130.

And i know two such cases who submit the same docs and got approved.

hey thanks for the post.. I've contacted the poster about the problems with their marriage certificate..

Can someone pls update me how many persons one can sponsor?

My father-in-law has already sponsored 2 persons, thus can he sponsor me also?

What is going to be his household size in that case? will it be 2 (both partners) + 2 (already sponsored) + 1 (me ) = 5

If yes, then how much income he should have?

i got this data from some post but its for 2011:

1 household member: $10,890

2 household members: $14,710

3 household members: $18,530

4 household member: $22,350

5 household members: $26,170

6 household member: $29,990

7 household member: $33,810

8 household member: $37,630

I did the same - don't panic too much, you sent exactly what they ask for on the I-130 form! Some people send a lot more (they call it front-loading). We didn't do this as we just went exactly to the letter of what they asked for. We are prepared for if we get an RFE asking for more evidence (we have stacks of it!) And an RFE isn't a denial, and least your file will be on someone's desk if you do get one. Deep breaths!

As what I have learned from my seminar anyone can sponsor as to many person as long as he or she can manage to it.
