Also no need for a lawyer if your case is not complicated you and your new wife can do the paperwork yourself just make sure you are organized and pay attention to detail then you will be fine...

What to include is in the Guides and I-130 instructions. Careful study of both is critical to your success. Remember, the US Citizen is the petitioner and the foreigner is the "beneficiary" and "relative".
