US Immigration from Spain

Hi everyone!

I am starting this topic as I filled for naturalization on 1/1//2025!

My I-751 is still pending and I received the 48 months extension. Filled 80 early and I married a US citizen.

Hello

I am Spanish and my wife is from USA and we are currently residing in Spain. My wife is going to file form I-130 online, we are providing the following:

1. I-130 online petition.
2. Spanish spouse data
3. Photos 1 of each of me and my wife according to the requirements
4. Marriage certificate
5. I-130A
6. Collection of photos (wedding, honeymoon, vacations, family...)
7. Wife's U.S. passport
8. Registration of joint cohabitation in the country of residence (Spain)
9. Explanatory letter of relationship explaining how we met until we got married, etc.
10. Flight purchases with our names on them.

Is it enough?

At the moment we do not have a joint bank account, is it strictly necessary?

The marriage certificate is in Spanish, does it have to be translated and notarized into English? Does a multilingual certificate (issued in several languages) work?

Thank you very much

Hello,

My wife is a US citizen and I am Spanish, we currently reside in Barcelona, Spain. And we wanted to start processing my permanent Green Card through the Embassy in Madrid.

I understand that you must apply for the I-130 form through the USCIS website, is this correct?

Or should you proceed by sending an email to the US Embassy in Madrid? Do you know which email address I can use?

Thank you

I m not clear on this situation. I m a US citizen who married a non citizen abroad, I don t plan to return to the US and my partner has too much invested in his career to move, so assuming we want to stay abroad forever, is there a way I could help him get a green card or citizenship or would that require us moving to the US and establishing a life there first.

Hello everyone. I need advice, I hope this is the right place for it.

I am an American citizen, and my partner is a Russian citizen. We have been together for close to 10 years throughout multiple countries. Right now, we live in Spain and we are legally bound with "Pareja de Hecho", but not married technically. We are considering moving back to the US (California, specifically), but we do not want to be separated for 1.5 years while the papers process. What would be your advice?

Thank you.
