i-130 alone or with document

[glittersam 3]

Hi, i just want to know if we send petition alone or with all document and photos and proofs

[JayJayH 546]

Send the I-130 petition, along with two G-325A forms. One for the petitioner, and one for the beneficiary. Include proof of citizenship for the petitioner (can be a birth certificate if US-born, naturalization certificate or copy of all pages of US passport). Then, include as much evidence as you can of a bona fide marriage.

This package should be accompanied by a check or money order, as the USCIS will not even look at your papers without it.

I say follow the instructions,

either the official one for the I-130

or in the GUIDES section here.

Then, let us know which you choose, aye?

[glittersam 3]

so i send package with all proof, certificate of marriage, the i 130 petition and check to chicago?

[Darnell 8,478]

remember, photocopies of marriage cert is best for I-130 submittal.

If you can slow down for 3 days, and read the instructions and the GUIDE, I think you'll have a better idea of what's what.

Yes, glittersam, please listen to the above advice.

Read it twice. It will take you one hour today, and save a lot of spousal separation.

3. Filled out and signed G-325A - petitioner.

a. Attach (with paperclip) a passport photo, and write petitioner's name on the back.

4. Filled out (doesn't need to be signed) G-325A - beneficiary.

b. Attach (with paperclip) a passport photo, and write beneficiary's name on the back.

5. Copy of marriage certificate.

6. Copy of one of the following:

7. Copy of certificate of naturalization (if petitioner is naturalized)

8. Check or money order made out to Department of Homeland Security - USCIS in the amount of $420.

9. If either of you were married before, include court certified divorce papers.

11. If you want email or sms notification of receipt, attach form G-1145 to the front of this package.

12. Evidence of bona fide marriage.

This may include pictures, joint assets, joint bank statements, flight itineraries and/or passport stamps to each others' countries, chat logs, phone bills showing calls to one another, receipts from things that you have done together, birth certificates if you have kids, adoption papers for a dog, you name it. Anything and everything that can help to show that you are in a bona fide marriage.

This entire package should be organized, for example in a manila folder, or however you best want to organize it, but don't use a hole puncher!

If there is something specific to this you are unsure of, or scared of, just ask.

[JayJayH 546]

If the beneficiary is from a country in Africa or the Middle East, you should really focus on front loading as much evidence of bona fide as whatever possible.

Really?

You got an advice and that's your reply?

You say you don't have a time... Wrong - you should have a lot of time, since you're ahead of some waiting and waiting and waiting... Time (and patience) is your friend in this process. The soon you understand this, your grip of the process will be better.
