Thank you for watching!! Let's get these approvals!
I have looked at dozens of sources for ideas of what to include with the form and this was very helpful... I learned even more. Thanks for sharing. Food luck in your journey.
PS: My case is a little different, as I am sponsoring my wife, we have been married for 7 years and have two children together. I do not foresee any issue, but you never know, right, so I am making sure that I include enough information that any intelligent person would come to the conclusion that our marriage and life together are real. Thank you, again.
This is super helpful but also makes me anxious. We don't have much photo evidence because we don't like taking pictures. btw, I found that the friend and family affidavit of relationship doesn't have to come from U.S. citizens.
I'm glad I found your videos. Wished I had seen your channel when I was starting my process. Now I'm just waiting for the interview date. It's been a long process. You have a lot of good advice. Probably the best I've seen in detailing the steps and process. I went thru lots of TH-cam videos trying to help me compile my documents and prove a bonafide marriage. Was hard, because we live countries apart and had nothing that was joint. After going thru it, it wasn't as complicated. Just need to be prepared, organized, and a step ahead of the process.
hi there! thank you so much for being here and for you kind comments! glad to have you here :) Congrats on getting to this point, I know the process is so daunting at times, you should be proud for navigating it. Did you get an interview date yet?
Can i ask you what you used to prove your marriage?
@@blackwaltz3135 I used my WhatsApp call logs and chats with my husband, his family, and friends. My husband and I chat and talk daily. I did a screen shot of the call logs for one month. Picked a recent month close to my filing date of the i130. For the chats I did a flow of different dates to show how the relationship progressed from friendship to relationship to marriage. Few pages here and there of the chats. I also included chats with his family. I wrote a summary of our relationship giving details about myself and how it lead to our marriage. This was my first marriage and I never thought I would ever get married. Somehow things changed when I met my husband. I included pictures of when I went to see him, things we did, our marriage, and pics with his family. On the back of the picture, I wrote what was going on in the picture. We don't have any joint accounts due to distance. After marriage I listed my spouse in my 401K. My i130 got approved without any additional requests and was forwarded to NVC. I had spent a lot of time questioning how I can prove a bonafide marriage. Watched a lot of videos. Hope this helps.
@@DeviOhira yes it's a very long process that started in September 2019. Case got sent to NVC April 2020. Case got documentarily qualified January 2021. Just few days ago I finally got the interview email we've been waiting for.
This is a wonderful video and so helpful in preparing your evidence for the I-130 packet. There are a few things I am going to add now because of this video. Thank you so much!!!!
ohh thank you so much for being here! happy to have helped, really appreciate you letting me know!
Thank you for this detailed video, i wish your approval fast enough for you n hubby to be together finally.Congratulations
Wow! This is amazing.. thankfully I found your videos.. this so helpful. Thank you keep safe and healthy ma’am 😊
Thank you for the video it truly was helpful and the link to the templates is great. super helpful thank you so much
Hi Giovanni! thanks so much for being here and for your words, I really appreciate it!
Wow! This is so insightful. This is by far the best video I have seen on I-130. Thank you. I have a question, how do will our family and friends address the affidavit of support that the marriage is a bona side one?.
Secondly, how do we upload the evidence? Note: we are filing online.
Thanks.
Thank you so much for your reply. YOu are so accurate and correct in your guidance that i truly can say they should hire you. No kidding. I wish and hope that either you go and get your law firm and helping people or one of the offices with immigration agencies watch your video and hire you. I keep my finger cross. As I am waiting to hear from the prosses, I hope that you do not mind if i have any questions come up, return and bug you again. thanks once again, stay safe.
hi there! oh my goodness, you flatter and me and made my day. Thanks so much for your kind words and even more for being here! Yes whenever you have questions please do post about them here and I am also wishing you a quick process

hi Hazel! thank you girl for being here :)
Damn we didn't do captions 😱 great advice. Anyway, if relationships are pure and real I don't think that there gonna be any problems...🙏
Awesome video Devi. Thanks
Informative & helpful. Thank you.
I was looking at you and listening to you suddenly I disappeared on your eyes 😂😂😂
Very informative and thanks for sharing 👍
thanks so much for being here!
Thank you so much for this info ❤️
thank you for being here Kenya!! xo
Great review and so much good information. thank you Ohira! if you dont mind me asking. As the petitioner did you change your last name to your husband's name after you submitted the form to USCIS or before starting the petition?
Do it before is best
How were you able to have bank account open together since your husband was not in the United state? Please show me the way
You don’t need to do this. Confidence with some nice pictures in different places or weeding ceremony is sufficient for proving it.
How many photos do I need to submit? Also, my wife lives aboard and I only spent one month with her. Do I need to provide hotel bills , plane tickets, etc?
@@boysovereign yes,the more the better
As someone whose husband's case was denied due to "lacking evidence," this is HORRIBLE advice.
@@jewelweed6880 hello. As someone who's husband is about to file , which evidence did you attach initially?
@@misanyazura6321 one thing we couldn't give was financial proof - our joint account was too new and we didn't use it enough to prove anything. We live rent free with my mom and no house bills in our name. We don't have joint property yet that they would take as proof we own big things together. They didn't care about the proof that my mom loaned us money so he could attend a graduate school program. It could have been more expensive, but it isn't cheap. Why would she do that if we weren't really married!???
I did all this, and me and my husband still got denied. We had our interview in Charleston South Carolina 09/18/18. We even had a immigration lawyer. Now we have to refile🤦🏾♀️so frustrating. We were denied 04/02/21, two days after my mother was buried😔💔. This just too much.
I’m so sorry 😞
Omg...why?
Did they say why?
Can u tell us why?
omg How will i get all my travel proof! 😭😭 I have been traveling for 3 years and i would stay months overseas with him and i have not been documenting since i am not a social media person 🤦♀️🤦♀️ i have some pictures but not too many i enjoy my moments and forget everything
Hi! There's a CBP (customs border protection) website where you can find your departure/arrival history for the last 5 years:
i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/history-search
Just input your information and then you can download a PDF.
Hope it helps you!!!!
It’s all on your passports
Hello Thank you for this video but I got confused... I just started my petition and I'm at the point of ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE
*Religious Records
*School Records
*Census Records
*Written Statement
Is this necessary please
OK, so it's been 4 years and we know that your husband's with you Now or at least I hope so.Could you let us know how this worked out for you
Thank you
My question is a
if can long time waiting biometric uscis in
Form N-400 three months
What happen?
we could not activate my cc as i do not have a ss even though it was joint.
Not once have I heard she mentioned anything about having a baby together.
Damn!! Your too much. You have it all mama. Too explicit and clear.
haha thanks for being here hun!!
These documents must be printed or the electronic versions are enough? Thanks for your help 🙏🏻
Thanks for your video. If you file online, when do you submit proof of marriage pictures of the couple? TIA
Thanks so much for this video. I just chanced on it whiles completing I 130 for my husband who is in Ghana currently. I want to know if I have to file a separate application for our two under 18 year olds or they will be covered under my husband’s application. Thanks
USCIS is problems, problems, problems!!!! We are a gay couple and married a year ago and living together most of the time in Colombia. My spouse is not out to his family and afraid to tell them. So, they were not invited to our wedding....only a few of my spouses friends attended. No invitations used, or necessary for our wedding. We do have a large age gap 42 years, which I am sure USCIS will question along with the fact that he is Colombian. I have decided if we are denied a CR1 in the future, that we will live together in another country, Spain, Uruguay, ect are options. I will not let USCIS cause me and my spouse to separate....we love each other too much.
oh John, im so sorry to hear that. Have you tried direct consular filing through the columbian embassy? especially if for the time being you are mostly living abroad there, but can prove domicile (a US address that you'll move to once both of you are here) then that might be the better faster route. almost always the DCF is faster. I know you will make it work
I keep hearing that the K1-VISA is a much faster one, right? Would Money gram receipt be sufficient proof?
I don't have an insurance plan and I don't have a bank account with my spouse what can I do to show Evident
I send my all File last week and good the ioe msg on my phone today I send all evidence that my lawyer required marriage pictures marriage certificate his information mine every thing but know my watching your video and think I can send more better evidence I don’t send any evidence that show how we mat and where do u think that’s ok or I can send it now
hi Gorri! thank you for being here & so sorry for delay! the more evidence you can send, the better, as long as it is a variety. did your lawyer update you with the latest progress on your case?
This was super helpful! I did have a question, did you submit a letter from yourself about your spouse or just the affidavit?
thanks luv! I didn't submit an affidavit from me personally, but I did submit a cover letter which did explain a few pieces of the timeline of our relationship, and I also had my best friend and my dad write an affidavit to also give further support of the timeline of my relationship and the legitimacy of it. they further vouched that they love my husband, they see we FaceTime eachother everyday, etc etc. be sure to have the people writing your affidavits include their full name, dob, city and state of birth, passport number
@@DeviOhira but what if they don't have passports??
@@msphae30 do they have other credible ID? tax id? drivers license? anything that establishes them as a real person that can be looked up in a system
@@DeviOhira okay thanks.
Hi, in filing an I-130 and I-130A together. does it also need to file an affidavit of support of financial evidence right away?
Did you uploaded the photos under pdf before printing them out to add to your package?
How can I let them know my marriage is real we both speak in Arabic ?
I admired your video and it is educative. Mine was rejected because of signature, according to the Form I-797C. What is the acceptable signature???
HI Michael! thanks for being here - by chance did you sign in blue ink...? they always say you have to sign in black. Other than that, I would submit an inquiry into your myUSCIS account to have more clarification if there wasn't any addt'l info provided
my wife n i have a joint bank statement but we dont have enough money in there now because we are building our house. does it matter how much we have in there or not?
Will children pictures & thier Birth Certificates sufficient ?
How long dd u date before marrying? And how long between wedding & filing ?
My fiance's k1 visa interview got denied and they asked for more information and resubmit more evidence. I think they called this the green paper more evidence to see if it's bonifide. I had a question if this gets denied can I Go to Vietnam and marry her there and then apply for a spousal visa. Someone said I had to wait two years for this. I'm not sure let me know please thanks and God Bless.
HELLO ..if you are a legal permanent resident, do you have to file two(2) i130 petition for spouse and child?
13:00 regarding screenshots of conversations. What if the conversations are not in english? We still want to use them but immigration officer will not understand foreign language. It would cost to much to get them translated. What do you think?
I think for screenshots, they might not need to get translated by an official translation company, if your foreign spouse can do a side by side translation instead. for more official documents like birth certificates, etc, then use a certified translation company. Because you are right, it gets expensive. The company I use is $20/page
Thank you for sharing this vedio
Cool so even if the foreign spouse was never in the US it shouldn’t be a problem for her to possibly get her CR1 issued as long as I submit plenty of proof that we had an engagement party etc and WhatsApp transcripts from the 1st day we started talking as well.
hi Brayant! yes, not ever stepping foot on US soil still qualifies a CR-1 approval, granted you have solid evidence of the bona fide marriage and have seen eachother at least once in person. It sounds like you have all of it. Supporting affidavits from friends and family testifying about your relationship might help too
@@DeviOhira so if my wife has never been to the US what's the best attainable proof of bona-fide marriage? will pics (recent, marriage, honeymoon,zoo and activities) and screenshots of chat and logs (4 years ago up until today) and maybe plane tickets from honeymoon do or should we get a foreign joint bank account aswell?
Hello, where can I find affidavit of support for friends and family to complete
So you can get a non immigrant visa while waiting for your I-130 application to process? For example a student visa or tourist visa?
Thank you!!!
Hey Devi, a question for you, we do have a lot of proof that we do have a real relationship but financial ones are really hard for us because for me for example, I can`t have a US bank account or be living with my spouse so we can have something like a lease together because I don`t have a social security number, do you think Immigration takes that into account ?
My spouse I130. What support documents I have to send. Marriage certificate both birthday certificate my us passport copy and us citizen ship certificate is that all or do I have to send anything else I mean other than cover letter and pictures.
Thank you for all of this information! Very helpful! So... did all go well?! Did your documents get approved?
I want to know when I can receive my application because I have my brother live in America he has nationality American and he sende for me and my. 3 kids 16 14 12. And my hisband an application for alien relative in 2016 october but i haven t got answers intel now i want to know when I can have answer
you can submit an application at any time - do you mean when approval will be? it will come down to many factors - how well the applications were prepared being a major factor, service center assigned, which visa type (different for siblings than say children)
If i am doing the form i-130 online, where i have to put the additional evidence like weeding photograph?
Hello please response me!! I am US citizen spouse.. My husband filed my case on December 2020 and USCIS approved my case within 3 month (March 2021).. and my case is in NVC since we submitted all document in April and next mail in May 2021 sent by NVC saying that check messages.. All document are Accepted and they asked W2 document.. we uploaded it in May2021 now nothing email has been sent by NVC… Does accepted document means Documentary qualified? What is the next step?How much time may take to get interview.. My USCIS processing time was very short so please tell me🙏🙏
Hare Krishna great tutorial vid
My spouse file i-130 online but I don't know how I am going to file i-130a?Is it advisable to mail my i-130a and i-485 together?
For the I-130's evidence, did you have to translate everything via a certified translator? Or was it okay to translate it yourself if you are bilingual?
YOURSELF
A certified translator. They might reject your documents.
Hi thank you for this very informative video. I am about to start the process. How long does the process takes?
it varies
@@seleniajones4800 thank you
@@rosiep6488 you’re welcome! you can create an account on USCIS and as long as you access it every 30 days it will stay open until you’re ready to file!
Hi Devi, I'm so happy that i found your channel, i do have a question, do i need to translate and certified Facebook messages if they are in foreign language ?
Yes. All documents in foreign language needs to be translated to English.
@@chosenone5536 thank you
Good morning ms devi how are you my question to you isit for couples who's married whit out child or couples with children please i like to have en answer please thank you may lord bless you for all the work that you are doing
hi Pierre! thanks for being here. Not totally sure I understand your question - regardless of children or not, couples can file for the spousal visa. Then it becomes a matter of whether or not your kids are young enough (under 18) for the US citizen/LPR to sponsor them too
Good morning
Fix it abroad is a hell long.
I have been waiting for a year now. I sent the i130 with the marriage certificate, my citizen papers and pic but still haven't heard anything back. What should I do?
hi there! wow have you even received NOA1 with receipt number? do you have tracking from the mail carrier that you originally used to send in the I-130?
Hi. My husband is the one in the US and is filing the i130 for both daughter and I and i130A for me. We're in a long distance relationship since 2016 and came to see me a couple times in my country. W E don't really hv pics together besides the wedding day with family and our daughter. We also have screen shot chats on whatsapp, money transactions sent to me and only one letter he sent to me since he is in the military. Will these evidence be enough? Which cover page should we do since its for my daughter and I, saw there's two?
Hi Elsa. Is there any 1) letter correspondence between the two of you? 2) proof that you sent eachother gifts like receipts 3) travel bookings or records of any travel together like hotel, reservation, train tickets etc 4) Him adding you to his retirement accounts as a beneficiary or a will or something like that. If you could also have friends and family members write an affidavit or support to serve as testament to the bona fide marriage. also, which cover letter are you referring to?
@@DeviOhira he just joined the military so there wasn't much. All we did was talk at nights not for long since they had curfew and all. We hv pics of wedding, text messages from last yr and this yr. I don't have receipt of anything since I've thrown them away. We got married in 2018 and he was the one who came down for us to get married in my home town. I'm from the Caribbean and we hv never travel together since I've never left the Caribbean. Will our names on tricare be one a proof.
@@elsa6520 do you have screenshots you can pull up of your call logs for when you called at night? I would also write a cover letter explaining all that so that uscis has a better understanding. I'm not familiar with tricare - is that a bank? if so, if it's anything where your names are together on an account, thats a great form of proof!
I'm beneficiary of I 130.can my sister write Affidavit for me?My wife is petitioner and she is an USC
Hi 😊 I was wondering if you had any affidavit of support letter template, I found the cover letter pretty good to organize the information but I can't seem to find a letter template for the I-130 affidavit of support. Id really appreciate it and thanks for the videos!!! 🥰
hi Gloria! just to clarify, affidavit of support for proof of bona fide marriage?
@@DeviOhira yes!!! On the video you mentioned having your dad write one 😊
@@Shawtybeliebe I used this: citizenpath.com/cpwp/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/I-130-Affidavit-Sample.pdf
Question! So the affidavit of support. They have to be US citizens? Because it doesn’t say anything on the I-130 form. For example, I was born and raised in the US, but my husband is from Mexico. My husband sister (my sister in law) can’t write me a affidavit?
Hi Karla! it's a great question - the reason I went with and advise US citizens is because there's a way for the US to easily vet who is an actual person, if you're providing ID info like a passport number. I think when it comes to other countries, the ID process can be a little bit harder, but with that being said, I wouldn't rule it out entirely. Just make sure that when your sister in law writes it, she also puts as much identification info in the signature of it so if USCIS needs to run a background report to check that this an actual person, they might be able to do so
Hi, i already submitted my i130, it was already accepted, and after 1yr, they send me some notice, that they need more bonafide married evidence , where should i submit all the evidence?
does your RFE give you the lockbox to resubmit to? Or does it tell you to submit the addendum online?
This is what it tells me, on the last page of the notice, but its also says i can also submit the evidence online,,
If I'm gonna submit through online do i need to attach the notice they send me it was 3 pages.
PLACE THIS ENTIRE LETTER ON TOP OF YOUR RESPONSE. SUBMISSION OF EVIDENCE WITHOUT THIS LETTER WILL DELAY PROCESSING OF YOUR CASE AND MAY RESULT IN A DENIAL. PLEASE USE THE ENCLOSED ENVELOPE TO MAIL THE ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE REQUESTED BACK TO THIS OFFICE.
My RFE , THERE is[ p.o box 82521 Lincoln 68501, it was with the icon of homeland security ,its on top of my 1st page notice.]
should i submit all the RFE ON THIS Address??
On the 2nd page of the notice it says,
"" Your response must be received in this office by January 2021
"What does it mean requested back to this office"?
PLACE THIS ENTIRE LETTER ON TOP OF YOUR RESPONSE. SUBMISSION OF EVIDENCE WITHOUT THIS LETTER WILL DELAY PROCESSING OF YOUR CASE AND MAY RESULT IN A DENIAL. PLEASE USE THE ENCLOSED ENVELOPE TO MAIL THE ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE REQUESTED BACK TO THIS OFFICE.
looks like she does not respond to questions anymore but let me take my chances. We have our marriage certificate and marriage photos do we still need to add more proof?
Yes you do... Joint bank accounts, health insurance, life insurance, lease, tax returns etc etc
Oh wait, so I'm not supposed to be making a copy of our sexting to the immigration officer?
PS. This is a perfect example when less government is a VERY good thing. How ridiculous that they need all this stuff!
lol sexting will just have to remain for the eyes of your phone service carrier lol
Hello! Great video? Quick question; what If the form is about to expire? The affidavit of support expires on 09/31/2021, and I wanted to submit An application a couple of days after! Any advice for that?
Then submit before it expired
How do you add captions to photos online...?
Hi guys how did u prepare the photos you add to the i130? How do be sure that it’s gonna fit their measures? Is there a website to check? Thank you
hi Renata! I literally just did it through google drive docs and inserted a table where I placed a photo in each section of the table 3 x3 on each page (doesn't have to be the biggest ever) so I could also write a caption under each photo. Then I printed it on regular printer paper. Just as long as the photos are clear and bright enough to see.
Devi Ohira im gonna upload the form online but still trying to figure out how to make sure it fits the requerimentos
Hello
Good video and information.
So who is supposed to be signing I-130A my husband is in different country. Can u give me a example of the letters that u family wrote please 🙏
if your husband is in a diff country you don't need to have him sign the I-130A. but for good measure I would just include a cover letter articulating that so they have no chance of mistaking an incomplete app
Do I have to send the application without sign? We make some bank transactions between ours back accounts can I add as a proof.
@@rosarivera3003 you can submit the I-130A without the signature of your foreign spouse but definitely make sure to sign everything else! if going hard copy, It must be in black ink
I got rfe for bona fide marriage..can I respond by myself or I need lawyer.
Thank you
what if the communication via Viber app is in a diferent language? and there is two years of communication? do we need to get all those messages translated in English language?
I would take the best parts of the communication and translate it. You can even have a friend or family member do it, but make sure they sign a statement and date it saying that they have proficiency in translating and they certify that it has been translated to the best of their ability
Hi! Is it required for the affidavits to only come from US citizens? How about from the other side of the spouse?
It has to be from a us citizen, that's what they told me.
Or unless your spouse has assets of his or her own that can be turned into money. Like owning a home in there country, business or stocks and bonds and savings accounts that can be transferred to the US
Hell mam cal you help me My additional evidence sent but No any response so what well happen plz mam ??
I paper filed I130 and fedexed it.. I received an IOE number .. is it going to be faster ? Bit did not receive a text .. Just one mail with IOE number
IOE don’t mean anything.
Brilliant
my husband and I don’t know what is best to petition for.. his visa expires in dec & we don’t know if he should leave back to his country & I file for the fiancée visa or for him to stay & we file together...
if you want to stay in the US, get married and file the spousal visa IR-1/CR1 and then adjust status here. Or, if you would like to go back to his country together, still get married and file the IR1 via consular processing
I just sent my i485 via mail and I didn’t include the i130. My package won’t get at UsCI until Saturday. Do you think I still have time to send it online? Would that be enough to say that I send it before? I want to avoid my i485 to be send back
does the courier in which you send it have a way to cxl the package? I would file everything in one place - so if you did it online, do everything online. if you submitted hardcopy, submit it all hardcopy
Hi Devi! my husband is a US citizen and filed i-130 form online about 3 weeks ago i am not living in US and haven't went there either. I signed i-130a and uploaded the pdf to the USCIS site. Is it okay or it is going to cteate problem for us?
More documents, communication between you 2, images.
Hello, I’m 21 years old I recently got married with my girlfriend, she is from a different country, I recently filed a petition so she can come live with me, the uscis aske me about documents that we do not have yet but we are planning to have and the future, I’m afraid that they close my case I need some advice anyone
congrats on your marriage! what documents are missing? Im sure they haven't closed your case yet, but did they send you an RFE?
One more i talk to someone stated that US citizen spouse application will be taken about 24 to 30 months do you have any idea on that time frame
I don't think that is accurate across the board for all - it will very much matter how well you prepped your file, which service center youre at, which consulate youre routing through. Those 3 factors alone can slow or speed the process by months
Can I sign as the preparer if I prepared it for my spouse
for the I-130A? you don't need to have sig on it technically
I filed online and signed electronicaly but I have just noticed that my signature disappeared. Does anyone had the same issue ?!
oh wow haven't had that experience before, has the app already been submitted? call USCIS and ask if they can see the sig on their end
Devi Ohira The form was already submitted and my signature isn’t there when i open the application snapshot.
What about photos?

or do i just need to file I-130 by itself? (i’m doing the whole process online )
@@adolfolopez8726 yes, you'll have to file the i130a, but your foreign spouse doesn't need to sign it. one of my previous videos covers this part :)
So, I'm confused on the documents, like passport, birth certificate, etc. Are we actually sending those docs or scanned copies? Because the SSA required me to send my actual, literal driver's license to change my name.
you'll send scanned copies of all on the USCIS end & nvc for that matter. Only when you get to interview will you be required to bring originals just in case they ask to see them.
@@DeviOhira Thank you so much for your reply!!! I have had such a hard time understanding this and there's no one to speak to at the moment due to Covid.

1) I am applying for my Husband and 3 kids (below the ages of 8 years) using form 1-30 (petition for Alien Relative), am I suppose to complete form 1-30 for EACH of these family relatives or just one package for my husband OR do a total of 4 applications of 1-30.
2) Also regarding the current fee of $535.00, does it mean it has to be $535.00 x the 4 relations totally $2,140.00

My husband and I will start the spouse visa process , he lives in Virginia and I live in Nicaragua, I can't lie I am a little nervous since we don;t have shares banks account, or anything related, we've been in a long distance relationship since the beginning, so I don't know what to send or where to start :/
hi Katherine! thank you for being here & so sorry for delay! Just remember that you are not the only one who doesn't have bank account together & have been long distance since the beginning. A ton have gotten approved despite that. As long as you can showcase your legit relationship, it's ok to not have the combined financials. Can you have friends & family write affidavits supporting bona fide marriage?
do not do anything just to manufacture evidence, that will lead to denial. just have your normal relationship and show proof, you'll be ok.
Hi Devi, If i want to do the same in regards to open a bank account, Would you tell me more detail about what i need to do to open an account under both of us since she is not here in USA. It will be with Wells Fargo bank as well. thanks
hi Bay! I dont think the dual account ownership will be possible. under both names if your wife is not physically present in the US with you. My husband happened to be here when we got married, so thats why we were able to open together using his passport and national ID card (2 diff forms) but with that being said, both parties have to be there to physically provide docs and sign
@@DeviOhira - Hello Devi! Can you open a joint bank account with a US Visa number. My wife does not have SS or ITIN. Thank you
@@madisonone8929 hi Madison! Wells Fargo allowed us to open a joint one without my husband's SSN or an iTIN. He just had to provide 2 forms of ID as well as proof of credit or debit account info from other bank institutions
My sister applied for me and my family in 2012. She fiiled i 130 form. And she also copy this form. Now she can not find our form. Is there any way to again copy this form?
ooh thats a good question. I would call USCIS to ask if there's a way to trace it. Do you have any case number details that they can reference in their search? I'm just afraid since it's been so long it will be harder to find. Also chat with them on the ask Emma chat if you can't get through via phone but you should be able to. Ask for a tier 2 agent.
Please how do i get the pictures and write up of evnts together
pictures can be printed in color on regular 8x11 paper
Hi Devi, I noticed in your video you stated that if your spouse lives abroad they are not required to sign the I-130A. I was temporarily living abroad with my spouse when we submitted her petition via the online form on the website. Being that we were physically together at the time of completing the form, do you think it will be an issue that she signed the form? or is it ok the way we have done it?
Hi there, thanks for being here! no issue at all, rest assured. My husband and I did the same thing. In anticipation of me filing, I had him sign the I-130A while he was here with me in the US during the time we got married. All was okay with our application, you will be fine!
