I think I included random and unnecessary things in my packet, which is why I would really encourage everyone to follow the older posts to the letter. I might be "more contemporary" but you also don't know if I'm going to have a RFE or have my petition rejected overall.

 

In any case, these are the documents I included.

I.          MONEY ORDER IN THE AMOUNT OF $535

II.         FORMS

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

B.         Form I-130: Petition for Alien Relative

C.         Two passport photos of Petitioner

D.         Copy of all pages of US Citizen Petitioner’s passport

E.         Form I-130A: Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary

III.        PROOF OF BONA FIDE MARRIAGE

A.         Marriage certificate

1.         English translation

2.         Spanish original

B.         Photographic timeline documenting relationship

C.         Petitioner’s father’s obituary, in which Petitioner and Beneficiary are listed as married

D.         Plane tickets demonstrating that Beneficiary visited Petitioner this year

1.         August 2017

2.         October 2017

E.         Proof that Petitioner and Beneficiary resided together

1.         Rental lease agreement signed by Beneficiary, which matches the Petitioner’s address in the power of attorney (see F)

a)          English translation

b)         Spanish original

F.         Power of attorney granted by Petitioner to Beneficiary

1.         English translation

2.         Spanish original

 

I think each case varies. I'm petitioning for my 6yo son and only sent minimal docs.

Hi. Got some questions here.

will my US citizen husband file another application for our 2 month old baby aside from mine?

He/you will need to apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America (CRBA) by reporting the birth at the nearest U.S. Embassy or consulate.

Hi November filers, I and my husband currently live overseas (my country). We fedexed our package to the Chicago Lockbox on November 13th, and it was delivered to USCIS on November 15th. I'm wondering if the acceptance confirmation from USCIS will be sent to my husband's email? His US permanent address or our current overseas address?

 

Many thanks and good luck to everybody!
