I finally recieved a text message and email last night at 11:45 that my I-130 petition was approved!!! I've been in VJ almost daily reading everything I could and studying all my next steps. When I would read other VJers post about recieving thier NOA2 and how they'd cry and call thier loved ones to let them know, FINALLY I am one of those. I was talking to my wife on Skype when suddenly I recieved a text message that my status was updated, so I immediately looked at the website and there it was. My petition was finally approved. Needless to say we were both speechless, crying, and so thankful to Jehovah God for his help.

I have questions as I was going over all my notes about the NVC. I like to prepare myself beforehand and trying to get everything together to atleast speed up the process on my end.

QUESTION 1:

On the DS-230 FORM, we have to submit the benificiaries birth certificate. Does the birth certificate need an apostille?

QUESTION 2:

On the DS-230 FORM, we have to submit a divorce certificate. Is this a requirement for the beneficiary only? I ask because I ( the petitioner ) was previously divorced and I provided that with the I-130 but I'm not sure if my wife would have to submit mine again with the DS-230. She hasn't been previously married.

I'd appreciate anyone's help if you know.

Thank you all for posting topics. This site REALLY helps A LOT !!!

QUESTION 1:

On the DS-230 FORM, we have to submit the benificiaries birth certificate. Does the birth certificate need an apostille?

No, thank goodness, CDJ never needs an apostille on anything submitted.

QUESTION 2:

On the DS-230 FORM, we have to submit a divorce certificate. Is this a requirement for the beneficiary only? I ask because I ( the petitioner ) was previously divorced and I provided that with the I-130 but I'm not sure if my wife would have to submit mine again with the DS-230. She hasn't been previously married.

The petitioner is not required to submit documents for the civil documents package with the visa application, so she shouldn't need anything for this. However, be sure to have a copy of your divorce certificate on hand for the visa interview!

Long story short, we have a complicated case. We've been at this for nearly 5 years. You can read our story here. I highly recommend our attorney Laurel Scott, as well as attorneys Laura Fernandez and Lizz Cannon .

Filed I-130 via CSC in Feb 2008. Petition approved June 2008. Consular interview in Mexico, Oct 2008, visa denied, INA 212a6cii. We allege improper application of the law in this case.

2012, started over in Seoul: I-130 filed DCF on 7/2, I-130 approved 8/8, Medical at Yonsei Severance 11/20, IR1 appointment in November 2012.

CRBA filed 1-3-13 at Seoul for our daughter

Thank you so much guys for your help.

Going through all the info, I came up with another question that I haven't been able to find anywhere.

I'm thinking of doing the I-864EZ, since I am only petitioning for my wife and I'm using my own income documented through W-2.

On question 19, what do I put for total income? I'm not sure what from my tax returns I put there. Is it the amount from my W-2's or is it my adjusted amount after deductions?
