Hello everyone,

I am a U.S. citizen and am working to obtain a visa for my Colombian wife.

I've already sent in a completed IR-1/CR-1 application (i-130) with help from some peeps here, btw...

and I'm waiting to send in an i-129F for the K3 visa as a back up.

My question is in regards to the i-129F form.

I was married in Colombia, so I have foreign documents.

Do I need an apostille for my Colombian wedding document for the National Benefits Center (Missouri)?

(For my i-130 package I already submitted certified & oficially translated wedding docs WITH an apostille, but it was a HUGE

hassle and VERY expensive. I do not know if California required it, but I sent it with the apostille to be sure.)

So, if I do not need the apostille, I'd rather send just the certified copy & official English translation for proof of marriage

on my i-129F form.

Does anybody know if the Chicago lockbox or National Benefits Center (Missouri) for the i-129F form, require the apostille?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!
