Hello everyone, The I-130 petition that my wife filed in January 2025 was approved on January 23, 2026! It took one year and there were no additional requirements. We live outside the US, so NVC will send us instructions to file the DS-160 application before February 20, 2026. Is there anything to keep in mind regarding the documentation to be submitted with the application? For example, my wife's U.S. criminal background check is more than 6 months old. Is that a problem? Anything else? Thank you.

Hi! I have filled it out online and in my case I am outside the US, so I don't have to sign the document. So I filled it out online, saved it as a PDF and uploaded it to the USCIS web. In the case that you have to sign, well fill it out online, then print it out to sign and then scan it.

Yes, can you please send me the template? 🙏 Thank you very much

Wife's U.S. passport Registration of joint cohabitation in the country of residence (Spain) Explanatory letter of relationship explaining how we met until we got married, etc. 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
