we mailed the documents today, 0.76kg! Who knows how things will go on... Keep waiting and praying...

Anyway, thanks so much about people's help here! Hope everything goes well to everyone!

Thanks everyone!~~

yes, very complicated in China, I even notorized my residency permit~~

good!!! thanks so much! I'm going to prepare them now~~

)

Noch, I sent them the translation certifide from the embassy + copies of the original but apperantly they have lost the copy of original so they asked for those. Kind of stupid because the actual translation was there.

I sometimes think so too! we provided all documents to the embassy when the day I went to file in my petition, they said our documents were good enough, but seemed like that they forgot to take them, and asked me to mail the documents to them half a month later! !!

Calling the phone number is definitely a waste. You take your chances with email but usually you'll do ok. Your case is actually still in the USCIS office, not with the IV unit yet, so they actually may not be in a position to help you. Is there email on the USCIS end you DCF filers can use?

so far nobody replies the em...

but anyway, I'm quite clear about what the form is now according to you guys' help here, so I'm going to prepare all the documents and try to send them as soon as possible, thanks so much!

thanks! !

we will keep trying. but before, we used the form to send em, and even paid the phone to call them, they either said they didnt know or didnt reply at all!!!! anyway, worthy trying...

Sorry, but what is IV unit?

Thanks so much Leah. SO you mean REF is also regular case? I asked a lot of peopole they said they were not asked to submit those documents in this stage only in interview. So if possible do u know why our case varies like this?

another question is that since we are all students and living with reletives, we dont have any bill showing the joining records, so as my tax records, my mom (in US) will be my wife's sponsor, but in the form, they dont ask something like I-864, can we print it by ourselves and explain a letter as an attachment?

in addition, since so many photos and vidoes, can we put them into dvd and send it? does the GZ consulate accept dvd form?

last but the most importantly! the documents the asked in the first page, we need to send the original ones, right? but notorial of birth certificate or notorial of birth, notorial of marriage or notorial of marriage certificate? the notorial place told us to make these four different notorial cetificates and said the consulate may ask for them, so we are sure which one the consulate is asking now?

sorry to bring you so many questions, I really hope you wont be bothered so much...thanks very much again!

thanks! we prepared all documents and notarial documents too, but when we took them to the consulate to file in the i-130 petition, they said our documents were good but didnt take anything, and now asked us to mail to them? that is confusing...

and about the photos, we need to send all to them?? can we put them into dvd and send it? and we also want to send some videos, but not sure do they accept dvd?

we were filing with the US consulate in China, not in US. I'm living here with my wife.

what is DCF?

So except that I need to send the original documents, other things you said before like sending all the photos to them are still the same right? I still need to prepare all the staff and send them, but not just the notoral documents? thanks~

1. No just send in photocopies at this stage so do not worry about about how things will get returned.

2. Photocopy of marriage certificate.

3. You don't need a notarized copy of marriage cerficate, photocopy sufficient at this stage in the process.

3. Some people submit about 5 photos of the wedding and affidavits by family. I didn't since this is more for those who have been living together married and not in separate countries. Marriage certificate is therefore proof of that. You haven't given enough information about your circumstances.

4. You don't send financial records at this stage.

5. You may be able to use mother as sponsor if she is in the united states. Is your spouse already living in the U.S???

6. Don't stress the financial part at this stage - get the petition in. There is other proof of relationship besides bills.

7. You can't put an A# on the back of the photo if you haven't been given it. Just write full name.

8. I have no idea.....need more info....

Thanks very much! can you please help me with some more questions?

1. what's this form for? in what stage now?

2. so just all the copies are fine, no need any original documents?

3. we went to the embassy to submit the petition, and show all the documents to them, why they said our documents were good but didnt take any one, and mailed this form to us to ask us to send the documents to them half a month later? it made us feel confused, why didnt they just take the documents before? seems like try to make things more complicated...

4. we lived together now and we have a lot of photos, so you mean we just need top send the photos selectively? can I just put them into a DVD and send it? I heard of many people they bring the evidence of true marriage like photos in the interview, why the embassy asked us to send them in this stage?

5. so apparently they ask for the evidence, so if we can find evidences other than bills like letters, it's also good enough? since we are students, and we dont have any bills, and we live with relatives.

thanks again!

Please help me about this form, I'm applying the CR1 in China.

1. we need to send the original thing? Do u return the original things back later? Notarial certificate of birth means just the birth, or the birth report.

2. Notarial certificate of marriage or marriage certificate?

3. can’t find the Notarial certificate of marriage certificate, do u take it already.

4. in the second page, request for the i-130 evidence, we need to send all the things by mail? Like all the photos? How heavy it is! Statement, financial record? So if we send all this things, does it mean we don’t need aninterview?

5. im a student, can I use my mom’s as an sponsorship?

6. we live with family, how can we have bills? They pay for it, but we do have the record of registering living in the same house.

7. form no.? yellow highlighted? A-Number should be printed in the back of photo?

8. why our process is so different to what I heard from other people or the cases in the internet?
