Starting out on the K3 route? Check your forms!!

[esmp 1]

Dear All,

I have spent the whole of this bank holiday weekend putting together the documnets that my husband will need to file for the petition for myself and my 2 daughters. I have really appreciated the information that I have been able to find on this site and it has helped me avoid a number of pitfalls!!

I justed wanted to point out one thing which may help others about to start this process. In the recommedations here it says "triple check" well I did that, plus 1 and still missed an error, my daughters birth date on the I-130 had defaulted to the day I typed the form!

I asked a friend to come by and proof read everything as a new pair of eyes can really help and she found a couple of other things, minor typos but still! I am actaully a PA so don't tend to make typos, I suppose it must have been the stress of starting out on this journey.

So my point would be that even if you triple check it maybe worth calling in back up!!

Hope this proves help to at least 1 person!

And thank you for all the information people have already posted that has made my life so much easier.

Yep, prof-read them at least 3 times, the one more for good measure. This goes for all stages of the game, like AOS, Lifting conditions.

Keep copies of them to refer to later at the other stages.

Good advise.

Yes, it is a good practice to have a friend review all application forms. Sometimes, different eyes can catch errors, typing errors, etc.
