Thx for ur reply.

Ive just realize that i did not submit many documents needed including the check.

All i have submitted are the i130 form and my passport copy to the chicago lockbox.

Should i start over and submit everything again or just wait until i get a response from them?

Too bad. The check and certain documents like marriage certificate, prove of citizenship can't be missed. I will say file new one and don't waste anytime.

Without that check your docs have been rejected automatically at the lockbox and return to you.

I would have start over from scratch. Yes you need ALOT more than just that I-130 and your passport copy.

Click on the guides up top and click on cr1/Ir1 option. It's very helpful.

Also it says they need some document proof besides our marriage cert but we dont have anything on hand,what would be the easiest document to get or apply for?

They are looking for anything to prove that the marriage is indeed bonafide (real) Do you have any property together, joint bank account, wedding photo, honeymoon photo/receipt, children together (birth certificates), beneficiary on life insurance?

We only have wedding photos but thats about it. We have only been married for 2 months and renting an apt at the moment. I hope that photos would be enough.

Also for the application fee, since im not living in the states right now is it possible to ask someone to write a check for me or does it have to be in my name?

Thx for the help!

You guys are living together then it should be quite easy to show things commingling.

I was married for 2 month before I filed. Before I left Jamaica my husband added me to his account and life insurance. I too added him to my life insurance here. That's what we sent in along with honeymoon photos/receipt, wedding photos, marriage certificate, birth certificates, my husband and I passport photo, g-253A for EACH person and my proof of citizenship and of course the check.

Not sure how you can get the check but it has to be in US currency. Maybe you should post that question in your country forum. However the check can be from anyone as long as it's in US currency and submitted with the application.

No it wouldn't make a difference.

FYI: Just a heads up, Your wife will need a police certificate from Canada, Hong Kong and any country that she has lived for more than 1 year after the age of 16. This certificate is not needed at this stage but at the NVC once the I-130 is approved.

Hey I am sure there is a HSBC bank there. That bank is also located within the US. I am sure you can get a check from them in US currency.
