Well, this it the beginning of our journey and the waiting game begins.

I wanted to post the contents of our I-130 packet sent DCF style to Beijing for others to use:

1 Cover letter
$190.00 Fee receipt paid at Shanghai consulate
1 2x2" photo of petitioner
1 2x2" photo of beneficiary
I-130 signed
4x G-325A for petitioner, all pages signed
4x G-325A for beneficiary, all pages signed
Notarized copy of petitioners US passport biography page
Notarized copy of petitioners valid Chinese residence permit showing 6mo.+ residence.
Notarial translation of Chinese marriage certificate
Notarized copy of beneficiary's valid Chinese passport
Notarized copy of Chinese marriage book
Certified translation of Chinese rental property agreement showing joint tenancy.

That's about it, I kept the package nice and neat and followed the assembly tips on visajourney. For proof of bonafide marriage we used the fact that we've been living together as our main evidence.

Thanks to everyone on this site!

Looks good. Thanks for starting a timeline. You can fill in your profile information too, so it doesn't continue to look like you filed for N/A visa category in N/A country etc.

Pushbrk, thanks, I've updated my profile.
