Just double checking if this is everything I need including format. I have questions to :

#13 ; we have been married since July 01 2018 living together in Indonesia, we also lived together prior to our marriage for 4 months. So what documents do I need for my situation ? A letter from our witnesses at our wedding ? A letter from our community/ village leader ? Or should we open a joint bank account here in Indonesia ? Or skip as suggested by someone ?

#14 photos, , passport stamps, hotel receipts, boarding passes, train tickets ? What is this ? Do I show my bank statement with records of every place we went to , stayed at , and ate at ? My passport and visas for the last two years will show I’ve lived in Indonesia. Is this necessary if we live together here in Bali ?

Subject: I-130 Petition for my spouse BENEFICIARY'S NAME (Original Submission)

Dear Sir/Madam:

I, xxxxxxxx, a citizen of the United States, would like to file a petition I-130 for my spouse, xxxxxxxxxx


Please find enclosed the following required and supporting documents: 

  1. Check for I-130 filing fee
  2. Completed and signed form I-30
  3. Completed and signed form I-130A
  4. Completed and signed form G-1145
  5. 2 photographs of petitioner
  6. 2 photographs of beneficiary
  7. Copy of my birth certificate (2) If you include this, your passport copy is not needed if your birth certificate is from the US; if it's not a US birth certificate, it's not needed at all.
  8. Copy of petitioner passport If you opt for this, then you don't need the birth certificate copy; the purpose of this is to establish the petitioner's US Citizenship and one item is all that is needed.
  9. Copy of benificiary passport Not needed at this time
  10. Copy of our marriage certificate original and translated
  11. Copy of divorce decrees petitioner 
  12. Copy of divorce decrees beneficiary original and translated

  14. Photos, passport stamps, hotel receipts, boarding passes, train tickets for 6 years.

I have 1-6 papercliped together, 7-9 papercliped together 10 papercliped together, 11-12 papercliped together, 13 papercliped together 14 I have photos on 8x10 sheets of each year and behind the photo sheets I have passport stamps, hotel receipts , boarding passes, train tickets.

Looks good.  We married over there.  No witness letters needed.  Just the marriage book (or in Bali probably just a marriage certificate)

No every record of every place you’ve been either.  Toss in a couple of wedding photos  and copies of all of your passport stamps or if you have a resident permit that’s even better.

Bank accounts require SS numbers usually.  Save it for when the plane lands.

 

You have two other issues.  

One, you need to demonstrate intent to domicile in the US.  That’s on you.  Bar is pretty low but they’ll ask.  I got grilled (me, not my beneficiary LOL)  

You appear to be banking in the US already.  An address, drivers license, voter registration, etc are all good. Embassy’s gonna want to know your plan.

 

Two you have to sponsor your wife financially.  Read up on the affidavit of support.  It’s the biggest hurdle when both spouses live overseas.  Takes US-based income, liquid assets (really liquid), or a co-sponsor.  Start working on that now.

 

Good luck to both of you.  We miss Indo LOL

Thank you. I will add you to my contacts. I presume your wife is Indonesian? Yes we are racing to file before October 15 2019 , which will be hard because we will be visiting 5 other countries in September. We are nervous and we always have questions.

here Is a checklist for petition i-130 for my wife/ beneficiary

I am trying to figure out if I have everything I need here especially what i need from her co-sponsor (line4-7)

Her Co sponsor is my employer and also a god friend. I am assuming he can be a co-sponsor since he has considerable  assets and owns a business. He has partners to. can someone tell me if I have everything here? I have everything else ready but I am trying to make things easy as far as paperwork for the co-sponsor. he will have to write a contract to? what does that look like ? thanks

First, clarify what it is you are trying to do.  You are posting in a spouse visa forum.  Affidavits of support are not submitted with I-130 packages in a visa case.

You do not provide sponsorship information at this stage.  It is provided at the NVC stage. Also copies of 2 years of boarding passess, train tickets aren't needed. Quality over quantity.  You have been living with here for 2 years so use photos and stamps.

8 to 12 months after filing.  After the petition is approved and at the NVC.  Study the guide and process completely before filing, so you have the proper expectations.

 

Your joint sponsor would appear to be the "close friend" of the "sponsor", you.
