Hiring a lawyer is pretty much hiring someone to type for you. Every form has instructions on VJ or on USCIS.gov. So unless you can't read or type, yes, hire a lawyer. That's my .02 cents

lol Lindsey...the suitcase comment was priceless. I can see how happy you are and rushed to the airport without bringing your belonging

Oh man...I did not think this through for mine I only copy my itineraries. I should have copy my visa and boarding passes, along with a letter of some sort from someone that proof our marriage? What are my chances? I only sent catholic marriage certificate, pictures from first met and wedding, itinerary 2x, receipts. I think I should have sent more?

Question...what does the USCIS do? It seems like they just reroute it to NVC...it would be so much faster to send it straight to NVC?

Cool! We sent our application almost the same week. Are you going to call NVC soon for you case number or wait for the 30 days time frame?

I'm not sure what I should do. If I call would that make it faster?

I used to have 4 names so before I did my name change, I had to put Firstname1firstname2 Middlename, Lastname. Basically I have 2 first names, I just don't put a space between them. But that was over 15 years ago and it was fine back then, I'm guess its ok now. I don't think they can be mean about it saying you're missing a space...GL

Congrats. I can't wait when it's our turn - Prayers from us

Nice! I sent my I-130 on 7/5, routed to Nebraska USCIS on 13/5. Now I'm still waiting for my case number.

I tried but I couldn't remember. But I need to know this from Australia though, thanks Ryan.

Yes I am... sorry

I came across a post before about someone that lives in a country for 10-15 years but never had a permanent resident card, not sure where he was but I couldn't find it anymore or following the post. I know someone said that he never had an Australian citizenship and could not sponsor his spouse, is there a way for this even though i thought if you stay in a country for so long, you can file a petition for naturalization? I know this is in a wrong forum and probably get it moved but hopefully I can get an answer in either way. thanks in advance.

First of all the beneficiary income has nothing to do with this. The person who's providing income must be a us citizen and filed tax. Neither of this is met...if the beneficiary will continue working when she gets here, it has nothing to do with the I-864...either way the petitioner needs a sponsor to bring the beneficiary over. Using whatever terms you want, as long as the sponsor meets the requirement. Learn to read the case before blabbing none sense.

I don't think the beneficiary counts in this case. The petitioner has to provide income. Obviously they both will not have a job or proven that he or she has one upon entering the US. Their income is 0, therefor they need a sponsor. Co- or joint sponsor is a technical term. It doesn't makes sense for a co-sponsor if you add his with 0, it's still 100% sponsor income. So you would need a co-sponsor in this case, not joint since there is no joint based in his 0 income. Correct me if I'm wrong.

You need a co-sponsor that meets 125% of the income guideline and the sponsor needs to fill out the i-864 also.

My best bet is write a cover letter when you send out your package. It's a chance, even if it's slim. Good luck

I was hoping to skip a few weeks of waiting, thanks for your response though.

Oh, When I'm filing the form G-325A for my spouse, it asks my spouse to sign it...If i'm filing on behalf of my spouse, would I need to forward her the letter, have her sign it and she would have to send it back? That would take weeks What should I do?

Thank you guys

How come on that sept by step guide doesn't show how much I am supposed to send a check along with the i-130 packet? Do I need to send out a check at this point?

Thanks

One more thing...We're catholic, due to the time and the paperwork process, we didn't get our certificate until Feb but we can't wait until then to do the marriage ceremony so we did it as planned in January. Would this be a problem since the catholic marriage date is different than authority marriage date?

Thanks, this might be exactly what i've been searching for

I've tried and tried to read all the topics about the CR-1 Visa and I could not follow. Could someone help me?

I'm in the process of filling out my paperwork for my wife, who currently resides in Vietnam. We got married in 1/25/2014. My friend told me all I need to do is fill out all the paperwork one time and send it out now. However, I couldn't find any paper required for one package. I contacted the laywer in Vietnam and they said they will be filling everything out for me and work with me from A to Z for $350. Then he said once he has all the paperwork and sent it to me, I will need to send it out (Where? I don't know) and then wait for response. After everything is approve, I will need to send in the payment of $405 and wait for the approval, then she can start her medical exams and shots...etc. Is this information legit? I haven o idea about NOA1 and NOA2 anymore because of this new one-time package deal. I've read people pay at least $1000 for all the paperwork fees here. Could someone explain the procedure? Thank you in advance

Anybody else curious about how it went???

Now I am

You should be fine. This is only if you were getting married in VN. It's a stupid piece if paper that has no meanings other than making money and wasting your time in VN. The fking states that you are single and even though they cannot prove that you aren't, you have to tell the truth.
