[rzebin 0]

Hello everyone!

This is my first post in Visa journey. So, I would like to file I-130 for my husband from abroad (Bangladesh). Need your kind help to get organized for the very first step of sending the I130 form. Here is my situation right now:

1. Country USC (me) resides in: Bangladesh

2. Is there a USCIS field office in this country / Is DCF still possible? No
3. Expected date to send the I-130: September 2016
4. How long had you been living abroad: 2 years
5. Do you reside in the country legally? yes
6. What is the reason for your residence: married to a bangladeshi citizen and hoping to move to the USA together
7. Am I going to list my foreign address on all forms in I-130 package? yes
8. Am I going to send I-130 package from abroad? yes

Me and my husband gathered these documents so far.

Forms:

1. I-130 (completed)

2. G-325A for petitioner (me) with a color photo

3. G-325A for beneficiary (my husband) with a color photo

4. G-1145 for e notication

To prove citizenship of petitioner (me)

1. copy of my valid US passport.

2. Naturalization certificate copy

To prove our marriage and ongoing marital relationship:

1. marriage certificate both in bangla and in English.

2. Affidavit from my dad and my ( petitioner) uncle who were present during our marriage ceremony.

3. Bank statement of our joint bank account in bangladesh

4. our travel documents (plane tickets, hotel reservations etc)

5. Our photos showing our ongoing marital relationship.

My questions are:

1. Do I need to provide my birth certificate?

2. Does my husband need to provide any other documents like passport or birth certificate?

3. For G-325 A form 5 years employment history, how do I list part time jobs? I do not remember the month i started and ended my jobs but I remember the particular year. is that going to be a problem?

For example: I had a summer part time job in 2011.

I know i worked for only a month. and my best guess is I started from july and ended in August. But not 100% sure about the months I specified. Worried a bit about that. what should I do?

4. Am I missing any documents?

Need urgent help. Will be eagerly looking forward to your answer. Thanks in advance.

Answers:

1. No; furthermore, you only need the passport copy or the copy of your Naturalization Certificate to establish your US Citizenship, not both.
2. Not until the NVC phase of the process.
3. You need to be as accurate as possible, if you have no way of obtaining the exact month you worked. Explain the as best as you can on a supplemental sheet.
4. Not that I can see.
