[vnellai]

Hi: Greetings!

 

I am an LPR and my wife is not. We were married long ago before I became LPR. She is now in India.and would like to do CP for her GC & hence intend to file I-824. Can anyone let me know what is the exact list of supporting document that I need to attach with I-824 for her?

 

Thanks in advance..!

Hi varsh1:

 

Thanks & appreciate your reply in detail.

 

Are you sure the sub-list that you had given under 'supporting documents' (item no.5) above in your response, are not mandatory? However, as you did, me too will try to attach them with I-824 to be safer.

 

Also, while I'll attach my wife's passport as well as our marriage certificate copies, should I have to attach her birth certificate also? I thought birth certificate copies are required only for dependent children..

 

Please kindly let me know.. Thanks again!

Lawyer said that until the 4th point, it was mandatory... All remaining documents are upto you to send....

Hi:

I just filed my I-824 for my wife and mailed it by Express Mail to the appropriate USCIS Lockbox address.

 

I had attached G-1145 for too at the top.

 

While it was delivered to the USCIS per the tracking confirmation got from USPS yesterday, I haven't yet got the email or mobile text acknowledgement from the USCIS.

 

Any idea how much time they will take to send us this G-1145 acknowledgement message? Thanks in advance.

Hello, Trying to apply I-824 for my spouse in India. As per the supporting documents, do we need to also submit the affidavit of support I-864 and the Medical tests/vaccinations along with I-824 or does it come under the second phase while going for consular interview. thank you.

And Vnellai, did your wife get her greencard and how much did it take in the each step. would be nice if you can inform in little detail.
