As the title says, I am getting married in a few weeks overseas. What do I need to bring back with me? From my understanding, I need the marriage certificate (and notarized translation), 2 passport style photos of my spouse, and my spouse's signed and filled out G-325A form. The rest of the stuff, as far as I can tell, are things I can get on my own (my photo, birth certificate, etc). Anything else I am missing?

Of course.

Besides the G-325a form, what other form needs to be signed?

You also might want to sign a few pages (of the last page that only asks for a signature) of an i-864 and leave them for your spouse. This way you can fill out the i-864 and she can print out the pages you sent her and she will have the pages with a signature. Don't date the page let her do it when you send it over. This way you will not have to mail it to her, unless you need a joint sponsor.
