US Immigration from Dominican Republic

Hi guys. I will hopefully have my interview for K1 soon. My fianc is divorced. Do I need to bring the original or certified copies of the divorce decree to the interview or regular copies would be ok?

Hi, I hope. Ya'll are doing good. I am giving a hand to a friend to file out a i-130 for a marriage/CR-1 visa. I've got a little confused on whether someone in the family can be included or qualify for immigration visa. My friend is the foreign national married to a US citizen, she has a daughter who is 20 years old, unmarried and is step-daughter of the US Citizen. I can be completely wrong, my understanding is the step-daughter can qualify and be included in the original petition but need a separated i-130. But reading the instructions it says

Who May Not File Form I-130?

You may NOT file Form I-130 for a person in the following categories:

• 3. A stepparent or stepchild, if the marriage that created the relationship took place after the child turned 18 years of age;

The marriage between my friend and US citizen definitely took place after her daughter was over 18 years. So is what I am thinking, she does not qualify? or maybe she qualify for an immigration visa but they should not file i-130 for step-daughter?

Thank you in advance for helping me clarify this out.

So long story short. 2 days before I was to file my husband's AOS I find messages sexting some lady. (Not the first time) but the most hurtful messages was to a family member saying he doesn't know why he came here, that he is ready to leave and is only waiting for his papers. So after confronting him with this he left my house , I do not plan on filing an AOD and in the process of starting a divorce.. my understanding is if I didn't filed the aos, he would have to leave the country. Any one knows what I need to do to confirm this

Hello visajourney I'm a US citizen married December 2020 to a Dominican republic citizen.

Just wanted to ask some questions on the whole process, i never dealt with USCIS before.

1 - when starting the i130 online is the process straightforward? Or should I get a consultant to file the application. I'm guessing I can do it on my own.

2 - we're gathering all the documents now. at the moment we have.

- My birth certificate (long form)

- My passport

- Marriage Certificate (Acta Inextensa de Matrimonio)

- Her Birth certificate and parents

(Extractor de Acta de Nacimiento)

This is the short form. Will she need to get the long form?

- C dula

- 2x2 passport photo

- Evidence ( will make a pdf with different types of Evidence)

Are we missing something to start the process?

3 - which translation services is recommend for the marriage/birth certificate?

4 - when using a Joint sponsor will my income matter when is time to fill the i-864?

5- My wife doesn't have a DR passport, will she need to get one? Or will she receive one at the end of the whole process?

I think that's all for now.

Thanks for the help!
