Yes you do 

The foreign spouse's birth certificate is not needed when filing the I-130 but IS needed at the NVC stage several months later.

Yes, you can copy and paste photos in a Word document save it as a PDF and upload it.  Just watch the file size, I don’t remember the limit.   Good Luck!

It’s needed

Um, NO, it is NOT, when filing the I-130.  It is needed LATER at the NVC stage.

Hi Everyone,

I got my permanent resident through my previous marriage and divorced on 2018. I got married again this year and applying for my spouse I-130. On I-130 Form, it asks my current 'marital status'. What do I put divorced or married? I also have my N-400 pending (Applied under 5 years rule), do you guys think that will impact my new I-130 application? It also asks me how many times you have been married, so that would be 2 right? Any divorcee out here has similar experience?

Hi VJ members,

I'm filing I-130 for my spouse that is abroad. On Beneficiary's current marital status, I should put 'Married' right since she married to me?  And on 'how many times has your beneficiary been married' , I should put 1 correct since she hasn't been married before. Just want to confirm.

Hello Team,

On the 'Additional Family' part where it asks for Beneficiary's family, Does my spouse need to put my name (petitioner) since I'm the spouse. There is also another section 'Current Spouse' Where I put my name since I'm the current spouse. Just seems repetitive, so wanted to confirm with you guys.

VJ Members,

I have a passport size 2*2 photo, Does anyone know if I can just use the Scanner App and upload it as an pdf? Any Since my spouse is from another country, their passport size picture is different size, How do you guys recommend to adjust that.

Yes you can scan.

 

Reread the instructions.   Photo of spouse not needed if they are outside the USA.

YMMV

it says you are removing conditions,  so if the spouse is here in the US,  go to one of the places like Walgreens and do the 2x2" passport photo

Okay thanks Payxibka, yes my spouse is abroad, sorry I should have read the instructions more carefully. Okay so just for me then.
