I-130 question
Hi guys,
In less than 6 weeks I'll be a Mrs!!! So, being the organised little fiancee that I am, I'm ensuring that when JB comes over here to marry me (and subsequently returns
), he has all of the necessary paperwork present, correct and signed, to allow him to petition immediately.
The I-129F we have done already, and it's been approved for K1, so we'll just do virtually the same for the I-129F K3, with the few obvious amendments.
However, I have a quick question on the I-130. I will be enclosing our marriage certificate of course and more than likely a few of the copious photos, but do we need to prove relationship? It doesn't mention this on the I-130 form itself (which, incidentally, has a ridiculous amount of typos). Not that proving our relationship will be an issue, looking at printouts of our email accounts and telephone records, but we just want to be sure we send the right stuff in first time.
Thanks, everyone!
Kath

Re: I-130 question
I got numerous originals in Colombia of all documents while bothering to get the first one to begin with. It was a small additional fee but now if I ever have to give up an original school transcript, marriage certificate, or birth certificate I'll have others.

The K3 does NOT need proof the way you do for a K1. For the K3ers that comes later with AOS. I would suggest sending in an official copy of the marriage certificate, because you will most certainly need more once everything is said and done, so don't use the one and only copy you have. Please note that IF you as a UKC were married before they ask for a divorce certificate PLUS a copy of the PREVIOUS marriage certificate for the interview. Don't know why but they do.

Thanks Cindy, LP. That helps out immensely.
