I am new to the site and well, we need all the help we can get!!! I just got back from Pakistan and need to start filling out our forms. We have our G-325's they are filled out, and we have our I-130, but it is not completely done. What needs to be sent in with them and I have the fee as $$ 190 bucks. Is this correct? I have copies of our marriage certificate from Karachi, my birth certificate and so is there anything else that I need to do before, I send it in next week? I just want to make sure we have all our ducks in a row, so that we don't have to back trAck or have the file sent back to me for something that I may have left out. All advice and help will be greatly aprreciated!!!!

thanks
Aisha B.

First step: Ask this question in the right forum.

1. $190 is the Filing fee for I-130
2. If you were born in US then your birth certificate should be fine or else please attach photocopy of you natulization certificate
3. Since you are applying for your spouse follow:
(1.) A copy of your marriage certificate.
(2 )If either you or your spouse were previouslymarried, submit copies of documents showing thatall prior marriages were legally terminated.
(3)A passport-style color photo of yourself and a passport-style color photo of your husband or wife, taken within30 days of the date of this petition. The photos musthave a white background and be glossy, unretouchedand not mounted. The dimensions of the full frontalfacial image should be about 1 inch from the chin to topof the hair. Using pencil or felt pen, lightly print thename (and Alien Registration Number, if known) onthe back of each photograph.
(4)A completed and signed Form G-325A, BiographicInformation, for you and a Form G-325A for yourhusband or wife. Except for your name and signatureyou do not have to repeat on the Form G-325A theinformation given on your Form I-130 petition

Hope this helps

Whatever you do, don't forget to make 2 copies of everything before you send that sucker in the mail!!!

Also checkout the "Guides" section. It has a whole guide of what to do for filing the K-3. It's the upper tab four to the right. Good luck and welcome!

Also, make sure that any documents you mail in such as the marriage certificate, need to be fully translated.

the OP didn't mention anything about a K3 this thread should be in the CR1 forum, shouldn't it??

Marilyn,

This thread was in the IR1/CR1 forum, until it was moved here. (It was originally posted in the AOS forum, which is the basis for Dr_LHA's post.)

Some people don't seem to realize that the K3 visa is not 'the' spousal visa - it is a quite recently created option.

yeah, I saw the thread in the CR1 forum with the moved sign.... and I was wondering why it was moved here...

fall in line please...

Also, you may need to include some proof of bona-fide marriage.
It should be listed from I-130 instructions.
Such as joint-lease document, joint back account, and/or affidavit of marriage, etc....

sorry bout that, i thought i was in the right forum.

Heck, I don't know what I am doin here but thanks.
