Co sponsor and total cost of cr-1?

[bste3 0]

Hi, I have 2 questions for you guys. First, I will need to show proof of financial responsibility for my wife if I brought her here right? Well, I am a student and don't work but my father makes 6 figures and would be willing to take on the financial responsibility in the eye of the law. Is this ok? And second, I am about to start the cr-1 process soon, what is the total cost I am looking at for all these forms and everything? Thanks for any and all help.

Yes Father can be considered as financial support.

I-130 = 420 dollars

DS230 = 404 dollars

I-864 = 88 dollars

Thanks. Are those the only costs incurred during the entire CR-1 process? I appreciate the help.

Good Evening:

You can do most of the process your self . The forms in the post before are right and fees are also right .

After that you must count on transalation cost of documents dependingg on your wife country .

Travel expenses if she is away from the embassy

Medical exam

Vacination

Copies of Birth Certificate your and hers

COpy of marrige certicate

you will need last 2 years of tax returns .Yours and your dad i send 3

Remember all documents must be in Enlglish and trasalation by a certify agency

You really dont need to much legal advice to bring your wife all forms have instruction and the VJ's personal are really good .

Im doing this on my own i just hit the National Visa Center for processing.

I dont know if this will help however i learn after a few mistakes to read some more on this site

and to double check go to your local imigration office and schedule and info pass meeting and make the immigration official audit your petitions and documents before sending them

Good Luck

Read ,Read as much as you can use this website and the USCIS website the combination of the 2 will let you do the process .

oh yes your dad is the CO Sponsor .

There are other incidental costs that will also vary country to country and situation to situation--getting original birth certificates, marriage licenses, other civil records, FedEx to send things around, probably some travel to visit while you wait, and so forth--could be a little--could be a lot
