Hi

I'm new here. My name is Kareema and my husband is Mohamed. We were married in Egypt on January 8, 2006. I'm getting everything together to send in the I-130 so we can get this show on the road :) Can anyone tell me if (and where) I have to register our marriage in the states? I'm in Michigan. Also, can anyone give me any information about the right way to go about filing the I-130 to eventually get the K-3? I'm new at this sort of thing. Thanks for listening.

You do not need to register your marriage in the US. Is your hubby in the US now or in Egypt? You didnt's say.

i believe you do not need to register the marriage. You have to have your marriage certificate from your marriage overseas, to use on the various forms you have to send out. That proves your marriage. Anyone else want to commet...

And you send in the I-130 with a translated copy of your foreign marriage certificate. After you get a receipt notice for it, you can send in the I-129F with yet another copy of it and the translation (Thats two so far) Of course you will want to keep one for yourself.. you see where I am leading, get lots of copies and translations. This is not all you need to send. Check the guides here for all the stuff to fill in and what to send etc. If you have any specific questions or are unsure how to fill out the form just ask.
