Second pair of eyes for i130 checklist

[aditya3245 113]

Hi guys,

This is the checklist we are using for our IR1 fiiing (standalone i130 DCF)

Could you guys advise if this list is sufficient ?

i) Three years of tax returns filed as married filing jointly in the US

ii) Three leases spanning three years in various US states

iii) Bank statements from two different banks (10 each)

iv) Credit card statements from two different banks (10 each)

v) Copies of drivers licenses from two states in the US

vi) Copies of Insurance Explanation of Benefits (EOBs) (2 copies)

viii) Marriage Certificate copy

viii) Copies of Auto Titles for jointly owned cards (3 Total)

viiii) Copies of ongoing cellphone conversations (calls and text messages)

Is this enough ?

Should we include wedding pictures or the invite ?

Please advise

Your list of evidence indicates that you've been in the US for a while. Are you sure you're eligible for DCF?

To answer your question, that's way more evidence than I'm submitting, but I'm filing with a very trusting consulate (Frankfurt).

Hi,

Thank you for your advice.

My consulate is Mumbai so you never know.

I lived in the US for 10 continuous years, I briefly had a 10 year green card based on my 4 year marriage with my spouse, ran into some problems with my wife and submitted a i-407 (abandonment of card)

Long story short, we've reconciled and now I want to go back.

DCF is the only way.

We are still married, intend to file taxes in 2014 together, talk everyday and have proof of an ongoing relationship

Hi,

To file DCF in India, you have to have been a resident in India for atleast 180 days - for this you would need proof of employment/house lease/utility bills in India in your name.

You would also need photos.

Also, you have to file in person in Delhi.

Wife is in the US (because she supports my mother-in-law who is terminally ill) and I am in India.

We went to the Delhi embassy and were told to file at the lockbox only.

They do not do DCF at Delhi

We do not have a co-sponsor so my wife has to keep working the entire time.

Hmmm.. Delhi does process DCF - or atleast they did 4 months ago. But maybe that is only for US citizens and not for greencard holders.

[aditya3245 113]

My wife is a US citizen.

She has not lived in india for any length of time (let alone the 6 month requirement)

They do not do DCF at Delhi anymore
