Hi. How do online I-130 applications make payment?

Makes sense, thank you for the reply.

Evening. We have completed I-130 online uploading all evidence asked for, including uploading I-130A. I have not seen any requirement to provide any evidence with the !-130A. I would expect to upload my (spouse beneficiary) birth certificate etc or current UK passport, or some form of evidence relating to myself. I have read the I-130/I-130A instructions but they also do not state any evidence to submit with the I-130A. Can anyone please confirm that no evidence is to be submitted with the I-130A specifically for the spouse beneficiary?

Hi. Can anyone recommend a particular document scan app that is acceptable for online submission? Wouldn't want to delay the application due to incorrect scanning. Many thanks.

Absolutely, thank you for sharing.

Great, thank you. I did see that link Lil Bear, but unfortunately don't fall within and of the exceptional circumstances for consideration. Thank you.

Carmel 34, thank you, that makes sense and is what I expected. Thanks all.

Great thanks appleblossom, yeah I have never intended to use the AOR route. I have been following that process and intended to focus on the I-130 online first, but still believe I need to complete a I-130a as the spouse of a US citizen? Lil Bear, what is the process for the Direct Consular Finding and how do I check if I am eligible (if correct route to take)?

Hi, apologies, poor terminology on my behalf. She is a US citizen. She is working now, but in the UK and doesn't have a job lined up for when we move to the US yet (plan to move over summer 2025). Is the DCF not for individuals currently living in the US?

Good morning. I am a UK national married to a US national, we have two children who both have US citizenship/passports. We currently live in the UK. Route to take for visa I believe is I-130, I-864 (AoS), DS-260 (online App) and then interviews etc. As my wife and I currently live in the UK we are completing the I-130 online. How do I submit the I-130A? Is this scanned in and submitted as part of the online I-130A? Thank you.

Great, thank you. Trying to figure out how to delete the first post, as was posted in wrong area.

Afternoon. I am a UK national (serving UK military) married to a US national for ten years, with two children who both have US citizenship/passports. We have lived in the UK for ten years, looking to move to the states in 2025. Route to take for visa I believe is I-130, I-864 (AoS), DS-260 (online App) and then interviews etc. Questioning if this route seems accurate and if there are any military nuances? (as for when my wife moved to the UK, slightly different route than usual). Happy to take recommendations for any immigration lawyers too. Many thanks.
