Need some help/advice

[linkup90 0]

Hello everyone

I'm planning to get married in December in Sweden and start the IR-1/CR-1 process soon after. I plan to go there in December with just US passport and round trip ticket then come back here and file the I-130 etc. Any help about bringing a Swedish spouse here would be appreciated. Actually I think there is an US embassy in Stockholm so could we start the process in Sweden? any advantages in doing so? I haven't seen much in regards to Swedish immigration.

Please see the guides. You cannot do DCF unless you are living in the other country and unless the country accepts DCF. Many countrys do not do this anymore because they don't have USCIS offices.

You will file the spousal visa from USA and wait out the process.

It's okay to visit during the filing process yes?

Yep you certainly can visit each other during the wait.

That's the plan, to go to Sweden for a month on the vwp. I got a round ticket and passport. Only thing I'm not sure about is this sufficient funds/ties thing.

I have a cable bill I pay and my class schedule for 2012, think that is enough?

Everything has gone good so far. We are now preparing for I-129F and I have a question on the G325A form. It asks for Family name and father and mother(maiden) names in the second set of boxes below the first, but the example document doesn't make it clear whether that is me and her or my parents, I'm guess my parent but have to be sure. Anyone?

Also to prove divorced what does a to show? She has a paper from swedish tax agency with her name, birth, citizenship and then it civil status as divorce on such and such date, is this enough? Because her previous husband name isn't there nor place of marriage.

Thank you for any help.

I was reading your previous posts where you were planning on getting married in Sweden, then you were returning to the US. IF you are married, then you need to complete the I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. The I-129F is a Petition for Alien Fiance(e)

Either way, both you AND your spouse/fiancee are each required to complete a form G325A.

I would imagine that they would be required to get a certified copy of the divorce decree from the courts or appropriate authority, but I'm not sure as to how they would go about that. Perhaps if you post in the Sweden forum someone there may have better information.

We decide to wait until summer and just have her come to the US and do the marriage here, she has a little left before she gets her degree. Yes, we will both file a G325A, so I assume your saying that means it's asking for my parents on my form and her parents on her form.

She can certainly get a copy of the proper papers, she just had that already and wondered if it was enough.

Thank you.

Here's the link to the USCIS website for the I-129F:

http://www.uscis.gov/i-129f

it gives the link for both the application and instructions, as well as what documents are required. Just follow the instructions.

And you're welcome. I'm not an expert, but I try to help when I can, as does everyone here on VJ.
