Form I-130 Checklist for Spouses
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- The requirements for petitioning a foreign citizen spouse for permanent residence (green card) are more exhaustive than any other relationship. When filing Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, the petitioner must submit supporting documents to evidence the relationship, because immigration officials from the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) have an additional layer of scrutiny for spousal relationships. After all, sham marriages are one of the most common ways to commit green card fraud. So immigration officials want to be sure that your spouse obtains a green card based on a genuine relationship.
Direct U.S. Immigration can help you determine which visa is the most appropriate for you.

Hi

@@MdAmin-r6d Hello!
AWESOME.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I received mine after 2 month 😮the case was approved
Congratulations 🎉! Did you use any immigration attorney for your process? Were there any issues. i.e., vaccination, prior marriages, or proof as to her being in her home country. You see, we are both widowed. We have lived together in her country 4 of the last 16 months of our relationship. I'm home now, and I think I have all the paperwork and documents. I'm questioning those things.
Please are you living in the us?
@@Anna-tu3un hello were you living outside the US when you received your card?
to be lucky like u 😮❤
Thank you for your information
Do I need to submit anything else with the I-130, I-130a, supporting documents and payment? Do I need to wait till I’m approved before sending the affidavit of support and supporting documents?
It depends on whether the case is consular processed or an adjustment of status. To discuss further, please do not hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at www.directusimmigration.com .
Thank you for the informative video! For the marriage certificate, if it is not in English, do we translate it ourselves?
You're welcome! You should have another person/company translate it and the translator will need to certify the accuracy of the translation. To discuss further, please feel free to schedule a consultation with us at www.directusimmigration.com .
Hello! This video was highly informative.
I am a U.S. citizen who recently married a South African national. In terms of the marriage certificate required for the I-130 as well as the overall process, would I need an abridged or unabridged marriage certificate?
You will need the unabridged version. To discuss further, please schedule a consultation with us at www.directusimmigration.com .
If you file I130 and a k3 visa also is this good to do

I would need more information to confirm. To discuss further, please schedule a consultation with us at www.directusimmigration.com or email us at inquiry@directusimmigration.com .

You look like originally from Ethiopia 🇪🇹
My husband and I just got married outside the USA. I am filing for him but we are stuck on how to provide evidence of the marriage. I did not sign the lease for our apartment and I am no longer in his country because I had to come back to usa to work. I was not able to open a bank account there either while I was there because the banks were requesting so much stuff because I was a foreigner. We are stuck now. Any way you can help please
Those are the more common ways to show that a marriage is true. There are other ways such as photos, screenshots of messages, etc. To discuss further, please schedule a consultation with us at www.directusimmigration.com or inquiry@directusimmigration.com .
Hello: I want you to please clarify something for me. I live here in the US over five years now. I am a lawful permanent resident. In 2023 April I filed in for my wife along with my two step kids as riders. During that period of time I was 4 years and couple of months. Now I’m over 5 years and want to apply for my US citizenship but the attorney who did my wife paperwork is saying that I should wait until my family come to the US before doing my citizenship. Now my fear is that, I don’t know the actual year my wife gonna be approved for visa and My green card will be expiring in 2028 . The attorney further told me that if I apply for my citizenship, that means I will have to re-file for my wife . Meaning I will be starting the process all over again. I need your thought on this please. Thanks!
That is partially correct. To discuss further, please schedule a consultation with me at www.directusimmigration.com .
Hello. What if my spouse has a toddler from previous relationship. what's the best way to go about it?

Hi, my husband filed for me in dec 2021 after we got married in Nigeria and refiled May 2023 after he was told the file got lost for I-130. He is a permanent resident and received a mail that we do not have any outstanding documents as our case was actively been reviewed. As at January 2024, my husband checked our status and saw “estimated time until case decision 1 week” then he checked after another week, the status was showing “your case may take more or less time” without the usual duration. Pls is there anything else we can do can? He has called and emailed but no response from them

Hi, me and my partner has been together for almost 15 years, we already had 3 children. On June 2023, my husband and 2 sons left for US and were now a green card holder. When they left, me and our youngest child move to a DIFFERENT address.

I recommend filing Form N-565 to request a new one. To discuss further, please schedule a consultation with us at www.directusimmigration.com .
Do you have a USA passport
I learnt that as the spouse beneficiary living outside the United States i should fill the form i-130a but i shouldnt sign it but i see date signed under the signature should i put the date there even though i didn't sign it. Thanks
Do not fill out the date unless you sign the document. It will create ambiguity if you fill out the date without a signature because the date in question is specifically to say when the signature was applied. You are not required to sign and date the document unless you live in the US at the time of your spouse filing.
@@MagnumCarta ok noted . Thanks a lot
@@MagnumCarta can I ask you more questions about the forms
@@quadrisanni2061 You can ask questions but I can't guarantee you I will necessarily know the answer. I am not a lawyer just someone also looking into filing the I-130 to help my fiancee / soon to be wife immigrate to the US.
However I am fine with hearing your next questions. I will let you know if I'm not sure.
Please also keep in mind that you can also schedule a consultation with the nice lady who runs this channel but I think their fees are about $100 for the consultation just fyi.
