I-130 Petition F2A

[Patra&Ricardo 4]

Hey guys,

My hubby is preparing to submit my petition and I would like you guys to confirm with me if all the evidence listed below will be enough for our Petition. We plan to include the following in our Petition:

Western Union Receipts from 2009-2013

Retirement fund in Jamaica in my name with my Hubby as the Beneficiary

Sworn Affidavits from his Brother, his Mom and my Grandmother.

Pictures of us from 2007-2013 including our wedding photos.

We could also includes Stamps in our passports of every time we visited each other

Do all Affidavits have to be notarized? How should the pictures be submitted? Printed on regular paper or picture printing form and place in a album. Also on our marriage certificate we used his last know Jamaican residence instead of his USA address do you think that will be a problem with UCIS.

Additional info my hubby is also Jamaican and he immigrated to the US in 2009 with his brother, mother and sister. We have been together for 7 1/2 years married for 1 1/2 year.

Let me know what you think.

Thankyou:-)

Do all Affidavits have to be notarized? You don't have to get them notarized as long as your making them affirmed - like this, I affirmed under penalties..., etc.

How should the pictures be submitted? Printed on regular paper or picture printing form and place in a album. From album

Also on our marriage certificate we used his last know Jamaican residence instead of his USA address do you think that will be a problem with UCIS. I don't think will cause a problem

Additional info my hubby is also Jamaican and he immigrated to the US in 2009 with his brother, mother and sister. We have been together for 7 1/2 years married for 1 1/2 year.

I urge you to read the Form I-130 instructions. The instructions there were very well put.

1.Don't forget the copy of your marriage certificate

2. if you or your spouse was previously married, don't forget to send documents that the marriage was legally terminated

3. A color passport photo size of yourself and your husband taken within 30 days of the date of this petition ( consult USCIS website for passport photo guidelines)

4. A completed form G-325A, biographic information for yourself and one for your husband ( all of these forms can be downloaded in USCIS website)

5. If you have kids with your husband, birth certificates of your children are a must

6. Don't forget to include a copy of your husband's green card ( front and back)

and your mentioned documents above.

Good luck!

Hi jhunjhun,

Thanks so much for your reply, You have been very helpful:-). I have read the I-130 instruction like a million times lol but I just got a little paranoid that I was missing something. I definitely have all the additional documents you listed above to submit with our petition.

Everything looks good,you have lots of good evidence.Just make sure to look over forms a million times to ensure its filled out properly to avoid any delays.

And the marriage certificate it seems Jamaica likes to use local address they used local address for me too I live in the USA.

Hi Reds988,

Thanks for commenting, I will go over the forms a lot before submitting because I really don't want any RFE. I think they definitely like to use local addresses here in Jamaica, as that is what my Pastor told me to use. I was here freaking out though that UCIS was going to think we lied and put the wrong info on our certificate. My hubby told me not to worry about it but I guess I am more of the paranoid one but it is a big sigh of relief that having a local address is perfectly fine:-)
