US Immigration from Turkey

Hey everyone!

I've been working on translating a few documents that we need to apply for the CR-1 visa and while translating our rent contract I found out that a few pages of the contract are just a bunch of living rules in the apartment that we were in. Would that be necessary to translate as well? all of our main information are on the first page anyway, so am i required to translate the full document or is the importante information page sufficient for the application?

Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone!

I live in Turkey and my partner and I are applying for the CR-1 visa. We have some apartments rent contracts that we want to submit with our application, but it needs to be translated to English first. Would it be ok if I translated the documents myself? or do i need to get a professional translator to do it? would that cause any problems?

Thanks for help.

My husband's interview is still more than a year away, as our I-130 was just received in Nebraska Oct. 28, 2019. But we want to start considering our options. We currently live in Japan. I am USC and he is a Turkish citizen. My work contract here in Japan ends in Sept. 2020, and we'd like to leave Japan soon after that. We may move to Turkey after that until his visa is completely finalized. In the (probably highly likely) event that he will not have had his interview done by then, can he have the interview done in Turkey? For the time being, our paperwork is being sent to my mom's address in the US, but what are the requirements and procedure for changing just our living address from Japan to Turkey? Also, we were married in Japan July 20, 2017. Can the country of marriage be different than where the interview will be?

Thank you!

Hi All,

I will soon submit the I-129F (K3) in hopes of getting our I-130 approved a tad sooner as it was sent to Nebraska. In addition to all the necessary documents to include in the packet, should a cover letter also be included?

Asking because we sent a detailed cover letter and two 3rd-party supporting letters with our I-130 explaining the fraudulent accusation of my husband's ex-wife (she is US citizen and so am I) claiming "marriage fraud", which is stated on their annulment paper from 2011. We will have to include the annulment paper again with the I-129F form. I hate to bring attention to this absolutely bogus claim of hers, which she did out of spite even though he immediately left the US and didn't return. Though we also want to be completely transparent as he was not in the wrong then or now.

I know this is a dicey situation, and we have already wasted money on two lawyers who were of no help. We're doing this on our own and hoping for the best.

Thank you for your input.

Hello,

I am an American citizen and have lived abroad since 2013. My husband and I live in Japan, and since 2016 I have earned about $60,000 net a year. My work contract ends in Sept. 2020, and then we'll move to the States. Will I be able to sponsor my husband using my US tax forms from this income earned abroad? Is it true that I will not need a joint sponsor if I can show that I am ending my work in Japan and intending to move to the US and establishing work? I don't know if I will have a job lined up before returning to the US. It's unlikely. Can I show evidence that I will be looking for work in order to sponsor him?

Thank you
