March 2015 IR-1/CR-1 filers

[BarryPrincess201 3]

Hello VJ Family!!

I submitted the I-130 petition for my wife yesterday (3/05/2015) to the Chicago Lockbox. My wife currently resides in the Dominican Republic. I know it's a long road ahead but this is the first step and it felt so emotional and exciting. I'm sure there will be many questions I will have. I will keep updating my timeline as time progresses.

This is the package I sent to USCIS:

• I-130 Cover Letter
• G-1145 e-Notification
• Form I-130
• USCIS Filing Fee of $420
• Form G-325A - US Citizen (Me)
• Form G-325A - Foreign Spouse
• USCIS color photograph - US Citizen
• USCIS color photograph - Foreing Spouse
• Copy of Long Form Marriage Certificate
• Translation of Marriage Certificate
• Copy of valid US Passport - US Citizen
• Copy of Long Form Birth Certificate - US Citizen
• Copy of Divorce Decree from previous marriage - US Citizen
• Copy of 401k Beneficiary updated to Foreing Spouse
• 2 Copies Affidavit of Third Party
• 10 Photos of us together - 2 of Wedding and 8 of normal activities

Hopefully this will be enough and I don't receive an RFE.

Hi BarryPrincess,

Yes - I received an email and text that my application has been accepted and sent to Nebraska for processing. I should receive the official letter in the mail soon. The check has already cleared.....so now the waiting game begins.

I Just got the notice of action this past Saturday. Now I Just need to know what else do I need to do? Or do I Just wait around another reply from them?

We have sent our petition package last March 11, 2015 and unfortunately we forgot to include the G-1145 so we are waiting for the hardcopy NOA1. Hope to receive it soon since my husband will be coming here on Sunday.

Hoping for the smooth process for everyone!
