Do I have everything ready for DCF?

[kdavid3]

It appears I do, but I'd like confirmation from the experts here. I'll be traveling to Beijing next Tuesday to submit everything.

 

Table of contents outlines:

I.USCIS forms:

• I-130 Form
• G-1145 Form
• G-325A Form (wife’s)
• G-325A Form (mine)

II.Documents to prove my U.S. citizenship:

• A copy of my birth certificate
• A copy of my passport’s biodata page

III.Documents proving marriage bona fides:

• Copies of our marriage certificates (Chinese and notarized English translation)
• Copy and notarized English translation of our son’s birth certificate
• Copy of son’s consular report of birth abroad
• Copy of son’s passport’s biodata page
• Photos dating our relationship (August 2006 to present)

IV.Documents to prove my residency in jurisdiction covered by Beijing American embassy to be eligible for direct filing:

• Copies of my Chinese resident permits (in passport) (2006 to present)

V.Other documents:

• Copy of wife’s passport’s biodata page
• Copy and notarized English translation of wife’s hukou
• Copy and notarized English translation of letter written by the hospital at which my wife was born attesting to the fact that she has never been issued a birth certificate, but was indeed born at that hospital on the reported date.
• Copy and notarized English translation of wife’s criminal background check
• 2 passport photos for wife
• 2 passport photos for me

 

Am I over doing it? I don't want to leave anything to chance.

 

Also, do I include my domicile and financial support documents, such as the I-134, tax returns, savings account holdings, IRA, etc.? I have these available to submit if possible/necessary.

V. Other docs

 

Wife's birth cert and police record are not needed when filing petition, they are required at visa interview.

 

Domicile and I-864 affidavit of support and financials are also interview time things.

 

I-134 will not be used that form is for Mon-immigrants like fiancée visas.

Excellent.

 

Thank you for clarifying!

Talk about efficiency...

 

Had an appointment with DHS at the Beijing embassy this past Tuesday at 14:15. Submission went smoothly.

 

On Thursday at 11:25 I received an email notifying me that the petition had been approved and forwarded to USC General Guangzhou.

 

Less than 48 hours. Wow.

 

Per the letter, I suppose GZ will be in touch regarding the next step. Where can I read up on what I need to prepare for that?
