CR1 cost with wife and child.

[jakebullet70 0]

Hi all.

Doing a CR1 with wife and child. Married for 11 years and she has been approved years ago and been to the US before but returned to her country 9 years ago because of illness.

Anyway,.. We live together here in Ukraine and I sent my CR1 docs to my American son in the us as getting a international money order turned out to be a nightmare.

So? My American son is going to get the money order. I have read $420 and been told $450?? Do I get 2 money orders or is 1 ok?

Also, As I live in Ukraine, where the heck does my son forward the docs to?

Thanks!!! Happy new year?

hi

they aren't going to get a CR1 since you have been married for over 2 years, they will get the 10 year GC

two different petitions and the fee for each is $420

you will need to prove ties to the US, that you haven't abandoned the US, where are you going to live? have you been paying taxes? because even if you live abroad you must file taxes if you qualify to do so. Is your son going to be your joint sponsor?

Ahhh yeah, CR3. Thanks

I work online for a US company. Going to stay with my son and his wife when we get there and then get a place. I do need to catch up on my taxes though. I have a regular 9 - 5 job but have not filed for a few years.

Anybody know where the docs get forwarded too?

hi

it depends on the state that you live in, that you have ties to, have you come to the US? do you have any ties to the US? bank account, anything? You can download the instructions of the i130 from the USCIS website and it will tell you which lockbox you send your i130s to.

the visa will be IR1, there is no conditional residency for your wife, you have been married for over 2 years

While my wife has been in Ukraine for the last 9 years during our marriage I have been in and out of Ukraine 3 times spending a total of 4+ years here. I have been here now for about 15 months.

Yes on the US bank account.

OK, so lock box in Washington State it is.

Thanks

OK, confusing. I will be going to Washington State but my address in in the Ukraine. On the i130 I put my Ukraine address.

If you look at the screen capture I uploaded there are 2 different address.

Thoughts?

Send the I-130 to the Chicago lockbox, you are currently outside the US.

The visa class will be IR1 and then IR2 for the child.

Each petition needs its own documents and fees. You need two money orders. As stated by Ryan, you would mail or courier to the Chicago lockbox.

Thanks all.

Maybe they were nice to me but I only did 1 check for 2 applications. I just did a total cost for both processing fees and they accepted it with no questions.
