We are starting to get everything together for our I-129. I have a few questions.

1. For the USC birth certificate. Is the one you typically would have enough? I don't believe it has his parents name or anything, therefore it's not long form, is this enough for the petition? Photocopy?

2. Do we send off anything for our cosponsor right now or is that later? Our issue is, my fiancé is currently in Canada right now and has no income in the states (long story) he has never had an income in the states as he is 22 and has been here for a while. His dad will be cosponsoring and makes more than enough. Will my fiancés lack of income be an issue? What would we put when it asks where he's worked recently?

1. Yes you would need the long form - photocopy is ok, just keep the original/certified copy on hand for the interview or if it is requested.

2. As long as you have co-sponsor that meets the requirements/has enough income then your fiances lack of income will not be a problem. However, since your finance has not had income in the states and I assume not filed taxes (?), you would want to include an explanation of the situation / why they have not been required to file. If for some reason your fiance was required to file US taxes and has not, he would have to file those. As far to put in regards to where he has worked - write in what he has been doing - working in Canada, going to school, unemployed - whatever your situation is.

Congrats and Good luck on your journey smile.png

1) You need a long form photocopy, or photocopies of all pages of the USC's passport.

2) Not having had previous sources of income is usually not a problem, but if he is still residing in Canada, that might possibly be an issue. The K1 visa is for people who plan on residing in the US. He might need to show proof of residency, as well as current income (with letter from employer and recent pay stubs).

The K1 journey:                                                                                                                             The AOS journey:

02/14/2014 - Case shipped to Embassy, where it waited for over a year at my request                                 11/07/2015 - AOS approved (EAD and AP had already been approved) - there was no interview

05/21/2015 - Interview - Approved

06/19/2015 - Wedding (L)

Thanks for your reply. We are planning on living with his parents, which has always been his address. Long story short, he has overstayed in Canada. His actual address is still in the states. I was informed on here that we could apply using his parents as his address as it's always been his place of residency.
