    You're getting way ahead of yourself. He doesn't need any originals until his interview and that'll be a year or more after you first file the I-130. Complete step 1 and then start thinking about the next steps after that.

    Don't get overwhelmed, this is only the start.
    Right now you fill out forms I-130, G-325 (two, one for you and one for spouse, make sure spouse signs the G-325) and optional 1145. All supporting documents should be copies. Then write a cover letter listing documents and explaining anything that needs explaining. Send package with payment to the USCIS Chicago lockbox (unless you are able to file DCF) You then receive NOA1 (received) service center and case # will be assigned. Make sure you copy the complete package before sending......then wait and wait...you will get a NOA2 petition approved.
    Then you will get a welcome letter from NVC and a check list on what documents to send....start collecting them after you send your CR-1 petition. Hope this helps

    That form is not used for CR-1 or IR-1 visa
    and NVC doesn't handle Doc Intake for this particular form, as it's not in the doc list for a spousal visa.

    N and J reacted to Happytobe in I think my friend is falling victim to marriage fraud. Advice?   
    Just a few talking points:
    - it can take between 3-6 weeks to marry in Morocco if one is not prepared.
    - the Consulate does not like to see that things have been kept secret from friends and family. If they suspect fraud, they won't approve. (I've been there and done that with my ex, thankfully they denied him)
    - the nicer hotels won't rent one room, typically, without papers.
    - the process takes, as others have said, upwards of 1 year after initial filing. A lot can happeluckiln in 1 year.
    - do fraudsters get through the Consulate? sure, they can't protect everyone all the time; some people are better than others at manipulations
    - do legitimate couples get denied? sure, happens all the time
    - my scammer ex and I met online - luckily, the Consulate smelled something fishy
    - my husband and I met online, and we are happy as can be. My family loves him, and his loves me
    - could he be scamming her? sure. Could he be legit? Sure. She's going to do what makes her happy now. Love does crazy things to people. She's got to experience this herself. The more people that told me my ex was trouble, the more I wanted to prove them wrong. You asked if people get through being scammed.... Yes, we do, but having a friend there who had my back, no matter what, really helped. If things don't work out for her, don't do the whole "I told you so" and if things do work out for her, be happy for her. My husband and I used to Skype everyday, multiple times. We even Skyped with each others families. We really did get to know each other well. Have there been people who got fooled, even with modern day technology? You bet!
    I wish her the best, and I hope you can continue to be a good friend for her,

    N and J reacted to Amhara in I think my friend is falling victim to marriage fraud. Advice?   
    So wait, wait, wait - what "rules" are you referring to? Does your state not allow people to marry? Do they need to be engaged for a specific period of time? I didn't think so; therefore, no - there are no "rules changing when it's a foreigner". Think of it this way, would you REALLY walk into a police station and 'report this guy for fraud' if he was American living here? Duh, you would not. So you saying you are going to "report" him is ignorant.
    This is not your friend. Just stop talking to her. If you are trying to save her from a bad situation, you have a really sour attitude about it. How did this guy tell YOU that he wanted to work in America, but not her? What did she say when you told your friend about this comment? How are you telling HER stuff about marriage when she denies she will get married?
    If you really wanted to help your friend, you would stop going all vigilante (because everyone is telling you why it won't work), stop trying to brow-beat this woman, and rather talk to her logically about this. Ask her what her plans are. Ask her what will happen if they don't get approved. Ask her how she knows he's legit. Ask her if she would move to Morocco. Ask her why marry and just get engaged with him. Ask her if she would do the same if he was here. Challenge her in a compassionate way - not like a stubborn donkey.

    I'm not looking for this to turn horrible like the other thread. Thank you for everyone's help and encouraging words. I got the restraining order tonight. It was not granted by LYING as some thought I would do. It was granted because I actually fear for my safety and most of all my daughters. Also because of the inappropriate behavior toward her and myself. Thank you again for everyone who helped and gave me advice. I really appreciate it.

    N and J got a reaction from lamigra in Got married on a K1 in March, filed for an annulment and husband took off.   
    Can someone please tell me who I can contact or what my next step would be. I brought my fiancé here on a K1 visa, we got married and after a month he turned into a completely different person. I told him I filed for an annulment (I told him on thursday April 10) on April 11, his passport and all his money was gone and the house key was left on the bed. I have emails from his friend asking me to keep him here and give him his papers, to let him live some place else. I told him he was crazy and there is no way in hell I am committing fraud. I emailed ICE and called USCIS, I found out now he is living in my neighbors house and only comes out when he thinks I am not home. What do I do? I don't want him here. He tries to talk to my daughter and waves to her. My biggest fear is he will take her to hurt me! Someone please help me. I really had no idea he was going to run on me. I truly thought he loved me, he was completely different. He thought our country was great and when he got here our country was #######! His country was the best and everything there was the best. He also undressed in front of my daughter twice.....I told him that is disgusting that we don't do that here. I told him if he did it again after I asked him not to he would have to leave. There was just so many things that went wrong, I couldn't stay with someone like that. I have the emails proving he is trying to get me to commit fraud, but where do I go from here? Who do I call? My mom sponsored him, her pension and Social Security is in jeopardy. He doesn't care and nether does my neighbor. My neighbor is on section 8, I will call them on Monday to report him having him in there. Please someone help, I feel unsafe and don't trust him at this point. I have called the police and they told me the only thing they can do is come here and tell him to leave me alone when he bothers me. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I'm sorry, I don't know you and please don't take this the wrong way but, if you bring him here knowing that you will not marry him and he will become illegal than no offense it is reasons like this that makes the process so hard for others. It's fraud and not fair. Also, as a citizen he may not be your responsibility but he becomes the tax payers because believe it or not there are programs out there for illegal aliens who go for medical insurance and stuff. Sorry just saying it's not the right thing to do.

    Take all her stuff and put it outside, change the locks and tell her you are not putting up with her being mean and rude. I don't think you can send her back, being she didn't come with a receipt but you can make her leave. Tell her to screw.
