Hi everyone, 

I'm a Moroccan woman, me and my husband(US citizen) been married since April 2012 but been together since july 2010 we have 2 boys.. Our story is very long the kind good to make a movie lol

Well I simply could use any help from members here who been through or are going through the spousal visa process please, my husband is actually in the States with our eldest child and I'm stuck here in Morocco with our little one it kinda sucks but it is what it is.. Now my husband is about to start my visa application he just printed out the I-130 form and started filling it out we have no clue how it goes or what we exactly need, what to do and what not to do! and we cannot afford an attorney's help so I'll be very grateful if you guys could assist and help us through this journey any advice or guidance will be helpful and appreciated.. 

Thanks in advance, and if you need any further info to assist I have no problem providing it :)

When you apply for a visa its very important you researched everything there is to know before you apply. Luckily there are very good guides on this forum, see https://www.visajourney.com/cr1-ir1-spousal-visa/. There is also tons of information on the USCIS website, https://www.uscis.gov/i-130. Read all the info first, then start filling out the forms and gathering the evidence. The guides on both websites will take you through this process step by step. When you get stuck while doing this, there's tons of people to help you here :)

Please make sure your husband reads the I-864P sponsorship info for a household of 4.  If he doesn't make enough money he will need to find a cosponsor in 6 to 10  months.

Thank you, but we honestly have no clue what the I-864P is or if he makes enough for a household of 4(wich might not be the case cuz he honestly doesn't make thaaat much). 

I did not understand the last part though what do you mean he needs to find a cosponsor in 6 to 10 months?! His aunt is in a good financial situation she might help out and co-sponsor but what's the deadline for? Sorry but it's all just new and confusing..

No we applied for his pprt and his certificate of birth abroad at the US embassy in Morocco but they did not issue it claiming they need more evidence (tax income or school. Transcripts) my husband suggested that we just do his citizenship once we're in the US it will be easier he'll apply for a visa for him as well (he is 2 yrs old)

If he is eligible for crba then he won't be able to get a visa.  Was you husband born in the US or did he get his citizenship another way?   Was he in the US for 5 years, 2 of which were after age 14, prior to becoming a citizen?  Did your older child get crba?

You need to provide the proof your husband was in the USA for at least 2 years past age 14 and 5 years total so his son can get a US passport. 

The visa would be denied if hes eligible for the CRBA. 

Follow the guides on this website for both your son's CRBA and your IR1 process.  Try the ezguide first in the wiki.

Your husband can file the I-130/I-130A petitions and pay the fee for your visa.   Then he can work on getting financial support (I-1864) for a family of 4 which will be filled when you case proceeds to the NVB stage.

 

The only option for your younger son us the CRBA.
