Form I-130 Packet

[tayloralexandra1 8]

Hello everyone, I wanted to be 100% certain on which documents need to be submitted with the I-130. I have read mixed things about newer versions of the I-130 needing different docs along with it vs older ones. I have the most current copy of form I-130 ready to be sent off. 

 

I would really appreciate it if someone could either post pictures of their I-130 packet or list everything in it. Would particularly love to hear from anyone who has already passed that stage and has had I-130 step approved.

thank you for this information, it is hard to find where its written officially, but can you direct me to where it says this?

Some sites say no birth certificate for the beneficiary needed, some say a copy of the passport.

The beneficiary's birth certificate is not needed at the time the I-130 is filed.

Apologies.... my post was in the same vein and didn't want to post a whole new topic.  I will next time.  I didn't mean to derail the post.   Also good news on not needing the beneficiaries birth certs.  I was just asking my wife to order hers!

I thought for AOS it might be necessary.

You won't hear from anyone that passed that stage with the new version, in 4/6 months is when people that applied with the new I-130 version will start getting approvals
