Hi everyone,just got a few questions that need some help on. First, a bit of bacground..my husband & I got married last april 2011, and we're now ready to file for our CR-1. He is currently working as an OFW in Saudi Arabia. He has 3 kids from previous marriage (whome he has no plan for now to bring with him to the US) & I got one daughter of my own from previous marriage. Now here's all my questions that I need your help on.

1. Do I file my petition for him addressed to the Philippines and used the Philippine Embassy and all documents he will recieved can just be forwarded to him to Saudi? (He can exit from his work in Saudi anytime ..if he needed so)

2. on Form I-130 question#17 (List wife/and all children of your relative)

--Should we need to list all his 3 children and also my daughter as his stepdaughter?

3. Form G-325a -Must all signature must be original? can my husband just sign it and send it to me tru email and Ill just

print it from my end.

--How many copies of G-325a do we have to submit?

4. Just to clarify...I no longer need to submit a copy of my beneficiary/husband birth certificate?

5. How long usually is the estimated timeframe for the whole entire petition process of CR1 (from sending the application to getting the interview date)?

****** All helpful answers will be appreciated....Thank you in Advance!

1. Do I file my petition for him addressed to the Philippines and used the Philippine Embassy and all documents he will recieved can just be forwarded to him to Saudi? (He can exit from his work in Saudi anytime ..if he needed so)

Since he currently works and resides in Saudi Arabia, he can interview at the Embassy in Riyadh, you can list is address in Saudi Arabia on the forms.

2. on Form I-130 question#17 (List wife/and all children of your relative)

--Should we need to list all his 3 children and also my daughter as his stepdaughter?

Yes, you need to list all 3 of his children. As for listing you daughter as his stepdaughter, I would err on the side of caution and do so.

3. Form G-325a -Must all signature must be original? can my husband just sign it and send it to me tru email and Ill just

print it from my end.

--How many copies of G-325a do we have to submit?

Signature must be original.

4. Just to clarify...I no longer need to submit a copy of my beneficiary/husband birth certificate?

Correct, his birth certificate is not needed at this stage. It will be needed when the file reaches the NVC.

5. How long usually is the estimated timeframe for the whole entire petition process of CR1 (from sending the application to getting the interview date)?

Estimate 8-10 months from filing the petition to interview.
