Just a little confused with all the different information

[foxy05 23]

Hi there,

 

I'm starting to petition my father this upcoming month. I'm a little confused about the documents I need to submit I-30.

What I have:

1. My birth certificate (does it need to be ordered recently? I have a orginal copy from K1 visa)

2. My naturalization certificate (copy or original?) (i haven't applied for my passport)

3. Application form 

What else do I need to supplement? I read that I need to have my dad's passport and my evidence of financial support. My husband is the only source of income. 

 

Thank you so much!

When I applied for my parents this is what  sent:

 

I130 for my mom;

My birth certificate ( I got a new one scanned not original)

My naturalization certificate

I130 and fees

 

I130 for dad:

My birth certificate 

My naturalization certificate

My mom and dad's marriage certificate (important to USCIS for some reason)

I130 and fees.

 

Don't forget to send the marriage certificate. All documents were copies, not originals.

Look up I130 instructions 

 

Look in page 8 first paragraph

If you are confused, have an attorney review your petition and documents.

an attorney is not necessary for a simple process.

Even if the process is simple for you, it may be difficult for another. It is never wrong to consult an attorney. The peace of mind is worth the cost.

My naturalization certificate and my birth certificate has different last names (married vs maiden) so I have included my marriage certificate, as evidence that I’m the same person 😉

Yes.  Your marriage certificate listing your maiden name with your spouse's last name allows you to change your name to match your spouse's last name.  The marriage certificate with your maiden name connects you to your birth certificate.  The marriage certificate allowing you to take your spouse's last name connects you to your naturalization certificate.
