I was checking out the processing times for the i-130. I was wondering how does a Permanent resident filling for a spouse takes 5 months but a U.S. citizen filing for a spouse. Takes a longer time. I know nothing fair in life. I would think as a U.S. citizen I would be able to get my husband here sooner they a person that immigrated over here. That really blows my mind.

Salam everyone,

Me and my husband never thought it would be this hard. With everything going on in Egypt is makes it harder. I ask Allah give us all sabr insha'allah. Its a blessing for skype that's for sure,Alhamdulia. If i had it my way i would be over there now waiting out the process with my husband. Making dua that i don't lose my mind in this long journey.

I so want to get rid of her. I talk to my husband about letting me do it on my own and get help from people on here that went thru this already. But he rather take the lawyer. Now i paid her the fee and the fee for the I-130. To me i could done it better. It seems like i knew more then her but to him she know more then me. But look where we are now stuck. and I-130 still not sent out. I should done what i wanted and get all the evidence to send in with it in the first place. And she done this many times before.SMH

I'm going thru anon profit organization for help. And before then send out the petitions they have a review on all. Due to limited funds this is the less expensive way,so i hope,. I wanted to do on my own but my loving husband thinks it better to go thru here at least she went to school for law... I hope i don't sound to silly, do i get the letter notarized or does my family do that before they send it to me.. If so im going to be wiring money out to pay for it. Thanks for the reply.

Me and my husband is starting the I-130 process. We got a lawyer to help to make sure everything goes right. The problem I'm having is, She said that we don't need to send in evidence with it that our wedding certificate is just fine. After having a review with her colleagues before she sends it out. It was said that we should send in evidence after all or wait to see if the RFE us.She said beside getting a letter from then i should also get proof of the being us citizens Here a part i took from the letter to give to everyone i ask for a letter from. "it would be most helpful to the couple if you were able to provide a copy of your proof of legal permanent residence or citizenship in the United States Examples of proof would be: your US birth certificate, your copy of naturalization certificate, a copy of your US passport, or a copy of your Legal Permanent Residency car" I don't feel comfortable asking family and close friend for a copy of their birth certificate. Has anyone had to get that to send in with letter of supporting evidence. I think that's doing to much.Or would it be safe to just send in their letters with the proof of their citizenship.
