Finishing up the remaining documents to send in our I-130, please check if we are missing something

[phyxsius 1]

Hi all,

So the time has come to file our I-130,

Please let me know if we should add anything else in our package.

Please note that I am not the petitioner. I am the beneficiary.

This is what we had planned to send with our I-130 application, we are currently in the process of collecting everything else needed for NVC, but can you please tell me if we are missing something in our first package ?

Thanks VJ!

1. Personal check in the amount of $420.00 as application fee

2. Form G-1145 e-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance (completed)

3. Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative (completed, signed and dated by Petitioner)

4. Form G-325a Biographic Information (signed and dated by Petitioner)

5. Form G-325a biographic Information (signed and dated by Beneficiary)

6. Three passport-style photographs of Petitioner (signed and placed in a bag with tag)

7. Three passport-style photographs of Beneficiary (signed and placed in a bag with tag)

8. All pages of my wife's passport to establish citizenship.

9. A copy of our marriage certificate ( I had our minister create one for us in English instead of Swedish, it's signed, dated and stamped with his information ) Should we send the ORIGINAL certificate of this, or can we scan it and print out a copy of it instead and that will be fine?

10. Evidence: Our joint Swedish bank account, pictures from all our 7 years together, logs etc. Showing proof that we've kept contact even before she moved in with me here in Sweden, plane tickets from both parties when we've visited each other. Letter explaining our relationship history, how we met, what our plans are etc. Is this enough for them? Or do we need more evidence?

Sorry, also about the logs that we will send in.. How many logs should we put? 7 years of logs is quite a lot.. we are talking logs from facebook, skype and also emails.. What is the best way to give them all of that information that won't end up with me sending over 100 A4's worth of paper in logs

Just send in a sampling of communication if you choose to send any at all. Sweden is not a high fraud country. We didn't send any skype logs or chats or emails.

6. Only send one passport photo for each of you. Don't "sign" them. "Print" the full name on the back of each.

9. You must provide a photocopy of a certified copy of a government issued marriage certificate, not one directly from the minister. If the government issued certificate is not in English, add a Certified Translation.

Your evidence is "enough". By "plane tickets" unless you mean boarding passes, they are useless. You've already provided evidence of all the USC's entries and exits from Sweden, by providing every page of her passport. If you have boarding passes too, sure, put copies of them in.
