Thank you.

the only place I see that I could upload would be under “additional proof of marriage” or one of the other categories (for birth certificates, marriage certificates, etc. 

is that ok to upload it under one of these categories?

I-130 filed ONLINE?

Those 2 forms aren't required when filing online. Your credit card payment will be processed through Pay.gov servers. And your USCIS online account will have status updates on your case.

Quote

If You File Online

If you file your form online, the system will guide you through the process of paying your fees with a credit, debit, or pre-paid card. Bank account withdrawals are also available when paying online. Once you are ready to submit your form, the system will automatically direct you to the secure Department of Treasury site, pay.gov, to pay your fees online.

We only use pay.gov to process fees. Always check the website address before you pay. Beware of scam websites and scammers who may pretend to be a USCIS website.

For my evidence that I was in my husbands country, I’m uploading copies of my passport stamps and itinerary.


My first flight was delayed, and the route got changed.
I had 1 layover in Japan before my destination. The 1st layover is where you get the “immigration inspector” stamp.

Since the stamp says I arrived in Narita but the itinerary says I was going to arrive in Haneda, do I need to add an explanation? Or is this hopefully going to be clear to them that a 3 plane 2 layover flight is bound to have some changes?

No explanation will be necessary.

I was comparing the romanized/Americanized version of my husbands address on old packages from my husband and on my life insurance policy and since the order in Japanese goes something like: 

(Postal code> country > prefecture > city > ward > Road name > block (?)> street  > house number)

when we’ve put it in English, we have written it in either the same order or like ( house number > road name > block > street > ward > etc etc),

and on the i-130 and I-130a I put it as (street > house number > road name > block > ward> etc etc *which is apparently correct according to google)

 

It’s the same numbers and words in Japanese to indicate the “street” and “block” and everything but the order is different. Is this ok? 
 

I did put a note on the form about the different variations(?) because the romanized spelling can be slightly different too (jyo = jo = jou) ( chome = choume) (siroisi-ku = shiroishi-ku = shiroishi Ward)

thank you.

 

hopefully my last question, I’m sorry I’m so paranoid about everything....

 

the translation of our marriage certificate has:

1. “certificate of translation” (signed by myself *the one translating*, and the person at the embassy, with the embassy’s seal)

 

2. “Translation of extract: Japanese certificate of acceptance of marriage” (has a spot for a signature and date which was not filled in because it says “if being notorized, DO NOT sign until directed to do so” but I was never directed to sign it)

 

3. And the original Japanese language copy of the marriage certificate.

 

is it ok that the translation page is not signed?

I just submitted I-130 online,

the case snapshot provided afterwards cuts off a portion of my work history that I submitted. Is this a problem or will they view all of the submitted information in a different format??
