hi there,

 

I know this topic is old, but it's the only existing one I found.  

I am a citizen, and I am about to apply for a CR-1 visa for my new immigrant wife as well as her daughter.  Both live outside the US.  I understand from reading here that we will need a separate I-130 for the daughter.  No sweat there.  But what additional evidence will be necessary to start the application?  Birth Certificate for the daughter, I assume?  Passport photos?  G-325A?  Anything else?

 

thanks!

Everything required is detailed in the I-130 instructions.  Have you read over that pdf?
