Hi,

I am new here.

 

What forms need to be included in a petition for a green card holders' spouse who lives in Guyana?

I am aware that the form i130 and i130a is needed. Are there any other forms?

What else needs to be included in the package?

I've heard that you should include a cover letter and evidence of a bona fide marriage. 

What if the couple is newly married and does not have much evidence of a bona fide marriage such as children and joint accounts etc?

 

Also how should the i130 package with all its documents be assembled?

Do you just get a big envelope and throw everything inside?

Welcome to the forum.

A lot of these answers are already there.

Looks in the guides section, its in the main navigation.

Try the search feature

And read the official USCIS instructions.

Then let us know what questions you have.

adjustment of status is when a person is in the US and qualifies to get the GC here

 

he will be going through consular processing in his country. the 864 and remaining forms are sent at the NVC stage, later on after the i130 is approved. the process will take 2 years
