Forms to send in for I-130 package

[daisylynn 0]

My husband is a Canadian citizen. I am a US Citizen, and a permanent resident of Canada. We are filing for his IR-1 Visa with DCF. I have a couple of questions...

We sent of for our husband's long form of his birth certificate. I called to ask if I could send in the packet without the long form. The lady checked and said yes, that I would just need it for the interview in Montreal since with the I-130, all they are trying to do is prove bonafide marriage. Does this sound right? Will this be ok if I don't send it in with the packet? I would still send in his short form and then have the long for for the I-130 interview.

It also says to have copies of birth certificates of all kids. One of our kids is only 7 weeks old and we haven't received the bc yet. Again, she said it was ok. Sound right? I figured I could just send in a letter stating why we don't have his bc yet.

Also, I've gotten conflicting information about this, but on the G325A, at the bottom, it says 'This form is submitted in connection with an application for: __Naturalization ___Status as Permanent Resident ___Other. I check Status as PR but then was told by several people to check 'other' and put 'IR-1 Visa'. So, I redid ALL 8 pages. Now I'm reading that it should be 'Status as PR'. What did you all check??

Thanks,

Tammy

The answer on the intending immigrant's G325a should be "other, I-130 for IR1 (or IR2 for the children) visa"

For the USC, it is "other, I-130 for IR1 visa for spouse.

Tammy,

Why are you filling out the G-325A? Because you are submitting an I-130 petition, and the I-130 petition instructions tell you that you need to include the G-325A with the I-130.
