Getting Ready to Submit I-130, I-130a for Spouse

[Jimmyzr1 36]

Hello, I’m getting ready to submit my I-130, I-130a for my wife online. I was wondering if any documents have to be mailed in, (like passport photos or any other relevant documents)? I My included documents are entered under Additional proof of marriage, including Cover Letter, copy of g-1145 Passport stamps, etc. They are not necessarily in order of my Cover Letter though, because I kept adding additional documents. Is there anything I need to change and anything anyone else can think of before submitting? Thanks for all of the advice on here.

 

i also will be submitting another I-130 later today for her 12 year old son, does anyone know of any additional Evidence I need submit along with that file? I know, I’ve got to include prior marriages, deaths, marriage certificate to mother, child’s birth certificate. 8ve been told I don’t need photos of us together, I believe, is that correct? Anything else I’m missing?

 

Again, thanks for any relevant advice!

Start by becoming an A-Student of the form instructions, that tell you what to send for each type of case.  "8ve been told" is well known to me as an unreliable source of information.  There's a list of suggested other evidence of relationship to include with the spouse petition.  Most don't apply if you haven't lived together but passport stamps or boarding passes as primary evidence of time spent together in person and photos together as secondary evidence fall under "any other" in that list.  Include some photos but don't go overboard on it.

Yes, I have read different form instructions on uscis and visajourney. I have 3 leases I’ve stayed, 1 with her on it, another she arranged before I got here, with messages between me and the owner, and another with her and her son listed as tenants under my lease. Have several itineraries and a few boarding passes. I included visa stamps as well as 9a spousal visa. About 30 or so photo and a few messages of us when apart.

 

The one area now I’m concerned about is any evidence for her son needed on his I-130 Appl., or is that not important, since he’ll be coming with her. 

 

Also, Are photos or any other evidence required to be mailed in? I’ve never found that anywhere in the instructions on either site. Since most is being sent online, which is fairly new.

If you're filing online, no need to mail anything.

 

No relationship evidence is needed for a stepchild.  Just the required evidence noted on the I-130 instructions for a stepchild.
