forms to return with

[onlyolga 0]

Hello all,

I will be traveling to Russia tomorrow on Monday to go to ZAGS Thursday. I would like to know if there is anything I've overlooked on what I will need to bring back so as to be able to start the spousal visa process beginning with the I-130. (Yes I have read the K3 guide here, as well as US Dept of State info on the website, as well as the forms and their instructions). From what i see i should have translated copies of the following (with an Apostille): marriage certificate, her divorce cert, and both her and her son's birth certs. I would also have their passport style photos (with requirements of the photos as stated on the Department of State website). Is all of this correct? Did anyone need anything else?

TIA onlyolga

K-3 is not the visa you want and it is closed and no longer processed at the NVC.

You should be looking at the CR-1 visa information. Cheaper and faster.

Forget K3. CR1 is the currently viable spouse visa applicable to you. Read the I-130 instructions and you'll see you are forgetting to bring back a completed G3254a with original signature from your spouse. You'll need one for you too.

Moved from K3 Process & Procedures to IR-1/CR-1 Process & Procedures.

Ryan H...thanks for moving this topic here. It was my original implied intent to choose the IR-1/CR-1 method. pushbrk....thanks, I was also assuming that as well, she and I have already filled that out months. Now we just need to renew the dates on the 325a bio form. I believe she would also prefer to have dates on both forms (hers and mine).

...but I'd still like to know if I have the correct docs to use... I believe I'll have everything I need.

study the relationship evidence types list in the I-130 instructions.

Here's my convoluted list

I have one other question regarding documents to bring back for future use in the entire visa process. I would like to know how many copies I should bring back for future submission. Should I bring back 4 copies of our marriage certificate and her divorce certificate, as well as her (and her son's) birth certificates?

I'll also have to reread the requirements of what to send in with the I-130. She claims that the G-325A is not required by me (the U.S. resident). I thought that, just as pushbrk, stated that it was also necessary for me. Could someone kindly confirm this?

TIA,

also, on my G-325A, what would I enter in the section for "This form is submitted in conjunction with" ?

Her claim is wrong, you are required to submit a G-325A

Tick "other" and write Form I-130.

I already gave you the correct information but the confirmation can be found in the I-130 instructions, careful study of which will be critical to your ultimate success.

Do you mean that your wife said that you do not need to submit G-325A on your name??? Really?
