Help in need of reasurring advice CR1

[moonsandmoons 0]

Help! Hi good people of visa journey. My better half and myself are in need of some advice/guidance and hoping some of you good folk will be able to assist.

My beautiful wife lives in the USA and I the UK, we got married this summer and have decided to apply for a US visa.

We gave filed out the i130 form and two g325a forms, one for each of us. This is where I'm slightly confused, we have yet to send anythingo off, as we are not sure what it is we need to send. At this stage do we just send those three forms, the filling fee, birth certificates, two passport photos and birth certificates? Or do we include bonafide proof of relationship too, with photos, statements, and all of the rest?

We've have fryed our minds scouring various websites for a definitive answers and really don't want to get anything wrong.

Any advice would be warmly welcomed!

Many thanks

Hi,

For the I-130, you need:

-$420 filing fee, (check, money order)

-G1145, optional, but it's good for text/email updates

-Form I-130 filled out by wife, signed and dated

-Form G325A for you, and another one for wife

-Proof of your wife's US citizenship (copy of birth cert, or passport, or citizenship cert, etc)

-Proof of your marriage (copy of marriage cert)

-Proof any prior marriage termination for both of you if applicable (divorce, death cert, annulment)

-Passport photo of you, passport photo of wife

-Translation of any document not in English, if applicable

-Evidence of bona fide marriage (photos, joint accounts/assets/property/bills, call records/chats/emails, visits to each other, gifts, vacations, etc) This part varies greatly for everyone so gather as much evidence as you can that proves your relationship, quality over quantity. They don't want thousands of pictures or emails lol, just a few here and there spanning across your relationship.

Here is a link with the guide of how to prepare the packet:
