Required documents

[Paul_Light 7]

Hi, I'm preparing our I-130 for our upcoming interview for DCF in Bangkok.

I'm a naturalized U.S. citizen. How do I respond to question 38 if I'm unable find my original certificate of naturalization. It's $555 for a duplicate.

 

Do I need it if I hold a current U.S. passport?

 

If I don't need it how do I answer the question?

A valid U.S. passport should suffice to prove your USC status.  That being said, for question 38, you have to answer yes since you did receive a CoN, but if you don’t have it, or lost it, I would put “unknown” for the number, and if you don’t remember place or date of your oath ceremony, you can put the same there.

 

Good Luck!

Thank you.

 

With the help of a strong magnifying glass we retrieved the number. 😀

Hi everyone,

 

We have an appointment with the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok in September to file the I-130 and I-130a.

 

Does anybody have a list for the documents required for the initial I-130 submission and interview when applying via DCF in Bangkok?

 

I'll have the job offer letter, the I-130 and I-130a, photographs, translated marriage certificate and divorce papers

 

 

What else do we need?

 

 

 

Thank you.

I’m surprised you haven’t been sent a document checklist, but for now just take everything on the list for a normal spouse visa - make sure you check the country specific section too.

In addition to what @appleblossom provided, there's probably a note on the NOA in small print (may need that magnifying glass again!) that lists what to bring.  It may be on the back side of the page.
