US Immigration from Mexico

Hello

In the section where you need to upload Proof of legal name change, my wife did not change her last name, we will do this much later after we are back in the States.

Should I upload a one line message saying she didn't change her name?

Should I re-upload the marriage certificate even though it's already uploaded to the Proof of Marriage section?

Should I leave it empty?

Hello,

Quick question. For the I-130A that my beneficiary fills out. Part 5 and Part 6. She filled the form out herself. No preparer or interpreter used. Can we leave Part 5 and 6 blank? Or is Part 5 blank and she is Part 6?

Hi VJ members,

Well, as the title says, I got my mother's appointment email a couple weeks ago, I don't know if USPS delivered the physical letter somewhere else (they did that with my passport a year ago), and since the letter must be taken to the medical exam and interview I'm wondering, what if it never gets delivered? Should I print the email?

Hoping somebody knows.

And thanks in advance

In lieu of us having any bank accounts together nor having ever been on eachothers apartment leases, after perusing this site, this is what I have come up with for our Proof of Bona Fide Marriage:

1. A 28 page PowerPoint converted to PDF called: Story in Pictures that has 55 pictures from all major events over the last 2 years, in chronological order. This includes three major events with a photo and a snip of the associated Facebook status change for:
   1. Asking her to be my Girlfriend
   2. The Engagement
   3. Marriage
2. This above Story in Photos PDF includes all vacations, day trips, and most everything we have photos of together, including things after marriage and not just before, along with a short caption on each including:
   1. Date
   2. Location
   3. Description
   4. Reference to Receipt Explanation PDF*
3. I have 36 attachments of:
   1. Her work Visa and the associated passport stamp she was on when we met
   2. All flights for both of us to and from the US and Mexico and their associated passport stamps
   3. Hotel Receipts
   4. Campground Receipts
   5. Car Rental Receipts
   6. The SENASICA import paper for our dog that also shows our Mexico address
   7. Event Receipts and Tickets
   8. Snips of my Company's Benefits Portal showing her as a Beneficiary on my:
      1. Basic Life Insurance
      2. Basic AD&D
   9. The receipt for her Engagement Ring
   10. Other applicable items
4. A document titled: Receipts Explained
   1. All of the 36 Attachments are numbered in Chronological Order and the Receipts Explained Document tells what they were for exactly.
   2. The Story in Pictures PDF has a notation relating each of the 36 Attachments to their related photo.
      1. I am doing this because some of these only include my name with a guest, so I figure the photo evidence tied to the receipt of the same date will be enough to prove it wasn't for another person.
5. Bank transfers from me to her and her to me in our US accounts and then from my US account to her Mexico account through Xoom
6. My immunotherapy for allergies documents showing that I am actively receiving allergy shots here in Mexico City
7. Receipts for purchases made on Amazon and Walmart for our apartment here in CDMX
8. DiDi and Uber Trips
9. DiDi and Uber Eats Food Orders
10. My TelCel Bill and my receipts of paying the TelMex internet

Thoughts? Concerns? Is it enough? Is it too much?

Hello,

Do I need to translate and/or apostille our Marriage Certificate? We got married in Mexico City so its in Spanish.

Or is just the original document good?

Best,
