Step by Step Guide to I-130 Package

http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

7. A copy of the intending immigrant's birth certificate and/or passport along with English translation. (If in any language other than English)

Can anyone refer me to the place in the Instructions for I-130 where it states number 7 above is required?

If I am wrong, I will eat the page of the instructions that indicate I am wrong.

jotibi, you are referencing the I-485 package. My question referred to the I-130 package.

And you are referencing the Step by Step guide which I am questioning.

I was asking for references in the Official Instructions to I-130.

I do not believe it is in the official instructions anymore but still in the VisaJourney guide because folks still receive RFEs for it when it is missing.

There is no requirement for birth certificate on formal Form I-130 Instructions for spouses. However, I-130 requires G-325. Even though instructions for G-325 do not exist, if you look at the form it asks information about the intended immigrant parents. Birth certificate of intended immigrant substantiates the information on the form and, since immigration cases review is all about substantiation, you'd better include it.

------

I-130 (as part of IR-5 process) - USCIS (Nebraska Service Center)

06/09/14 - sent I-130

06/14/14 - NOA 1

11/14/14 - NOA 2 (5 months)

AOS (Local Office: Denver)

03/24/15 - AOS packet sent via USPS Priority Mail (I-485, I-765 & I-131 w/ approved I-130)

03/26/15 - package delivered according to USPS website

04/01/15 - email notifying the AOS package has been received

04/02/15 - an AOS fee withdrawn from a bank account

04/09/15 - received hard copies of all three NOAs (NOAs dated 04/01/15)

04/28/15 - Biometrics

05/08/15 - online status changed to "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview"

05/18/15 - online status changed to I-765 approved-wait the card in the mail (no change for I-131) (80 days)

05/19/15 - received EAD/AP in the mail

05/28/15 - online status changed to "As of June 28, case is ready to be scheduled for an interview." This is the second time of such change since 05/08/15.

07/05/15 - online status changed to "As of July 5, case is ready to be scheduled for an interview." How many times are they going to update that status, I wonder?

12/18/15 - still waiting!!! For almost 9 months now (261 days from AOS NOA, 234 days from Biometrics).

01/14/16 - submitted "out-of-normal processing time" inquiry and called USCIS that stated the case is still at NBC and "inquiry" should answer why there is such delay.

01/15/16 - 294 days since the AOS was received by the USCIS; 262 days from the biometrics.

01/28/16 - [day 309] received response to case status inquiry (processed on 01/23/15) - "your case is waiting to be scheduled for interview," so wait another 90 days [sigh].

02/21/16 - [day 332] interview scheduled for 03/24/16 [363 days from the receipt of petition].

02/24/16 - [day 363] AOS interview. Approval on the spot.
