Thanks. Yeah, she never traveled to the US so in this case it doesn’t apply. Appreciate your feedback 

Also, when we’re completing the application for her sister, it’s asking for beneficiaries travel document number but we don’t have yet since this is the first step in the process for petitioning her sister to the United States. So how do we answer this question on the application?

My wife and I are trying to complete the petition application contact numbers for her sister but it’s not letting us . See the picture below. Her sister doesn’t have land line, only cell phone. Do I just mark NA where the land line entry is because she doesn’t have land line as I stated earlier?

My wife’s siblings are getting documents ready for the F4 visa application. One of the documents needed is the “affidavit of support from the 

petioner” and “ civil documents” What do they mean by these documents? Can anyone be specific as to what the siblings need to get by this? I’m trying to help them understand what they need. 

Thank you SusieQQQ. Yes, we did.

Ok thanks Arken

Question? When my wife’s siblings file the F4 visa application, they are requesting birth certificates and marriage certificates blah blah blah. Do they need to provide copies of all these documents or do they need to be originals?

Thank you Chancy.

After I complete the i130 application, is it best that I send the packet registered mail to the USCIS local office so it doesn’t get lost? I’m applying online so Maybe I don’t have to send it thru mail. 

Ok thanks. Appreciate it.

Ok, so I’m just gonna help my wife complete the i130 form. It’s been awhile since we completed the k1 visa application so I forgot how to address some questions that don’t pertain to us but the question I have is when we complete the i130 and a question that comes up doesn’t apply to us, do we answer with “NA” ? Or not applicable or do we leave the question blank if it doesn’t apply to us? 

Oh, ok. Well, I guess I’ll just fill it out online and be done with it. Simple enough. Thank you for your help

Oh my gosh!! Well, I told my wife a long time ago we needed to do this but her sister was reluctant to start the process. Now all of a sudden I hear my wife tell me that her sister is all excited and happy. Sheesh! Although it’s never too late, it would have been better had she made up her mind when I mentioned it to her years ago. Sheesh! 

Payxibka. How long am I looking at for the wait on the F4 visa? Paul & Mary. I’ve never heard of pdf filer like Dochub. Do I really need it or can I just file the form without it?

Yes, I think I’m better off doing it myself since I did the k1 visa for my wife and didn’t have any issues and It will actually be cheaper if I do it myself. It’s not like I got 4-5k to blow anyways. I could save the money for the application fees. Do I have to fill out additional applications for each of my wife’s brother and sister or is it just one application for all the siblings? She has 1 brother and 1 sister.

You have a good point. I see. It’s my wife’s responsibility to complete the application. It’s just that I’m expecting her to have questions she probably won’t know how to answer so I have to help her but I get your point. I’ll probably won’t bother with the legal help. I did the k1 visa by myself back in 2005 when I petitioned her and it was a breeze. I shouldn’t have any issues with this application either. Just saying. Thanks

This reason I was considering a lawyer is so I don’t have to deal with the anxiety and stress of the paperwork. It was just an idea and I’m waiting to hear from my lawyer to see the pros and cons before I decide

Thanks for your reply and assistance. I was expecting $5000 but I could handle this amount or something around that figure. I requested to speak to a lawyer I hired back in 2017 for some other legal matters which he was able to remedy for me so now I’m waiting to hear back from him. This lawyer was very professional and I got the results I was expecting so I’m not too worried about him screwing me over. I wouldn’t hire anyone else unless I’ve dealt with them before. Thanks again

Hello
