Here is my I-130 Package is this everything?

[JChrisusa 0]

I know there are a lot of examples of package but I would like to make sure I'm not missing anything and another pair of eyes can't hurt... and I've noticed there are some people on this forum that really know what they are talking about.

We got married in October 2013 in Colombia and we live together. We have known each other for 9 month, she is 29 and I am 32. (if that matters)

I will put the whole package on ACCO Fastener with tabs at the bottom.

Here is my table of content of my Cover letter. Is this all I need to send?

1. Form G-1145: e-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance.

2. Cover Letter

3. Form I-130: Petition for Alien Relative (Immediate Relative (Spouse)).

4. Check for $420 payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security

5. Copy of ALL pages of the US Citizen's passport.

6. Copy of petitioner's proof of naturalization.

7. Copy of petitioner's proof of permanent residency. (Cedula de Extranjeria)

8. Copy of the immigrant's birth certificate. (With English Translation)

9. Copy of the immigrant's passport.

10 .Certified Copy of Marriage Certificate. (With English Translation)

11. G-325A filled out by the US Citizen, signed and dated.

12. Two passport-type photo of US Husband

13. G-325A filled out by the foreign spouse signed and dated.

14. Two passport-type photo of Colombian spouse

15. Evidence of a bonafide marriage

- Pictures of our second trip together to Santa Marta and Cartagena (July 2^nd, 2013 to July 6^th, 2013)

I did all the translation myself with the ... I (me) certificy that I am fluent....

Everything looks good to me. Make sure you write name and date of birth on back of each US passport size Photo.

2 yrs age gap should not matter, my wife is 3 years younger than me.

Regarding the English Translation which you did by yourself, I am not sure about it. I translated all the document from certified translator from my wife's country. I hope someone from here can enlighten about it.

Wish you all the best on your I-130 Journey.

Thanks, I couldn't find a Ziploc bag here in Colombia for the profile pictures.

Would it matter if it is not a sealed plastic bag?

While there is no rule that says you can't sign the attestation statements yourself on the translations, I usually suggest that you have a third party sign them.

That's what I'm talking about!!!

Thanks for the help, I feel better about my package.
I will be sending my package next week and hopefully everything will go smoothly and fast.
Si Dios quiere... as they say here in Colombia.

Thanks
