Nikkah & Fiance Visa information needed!

Re: Nikkah & Fiance Visa information needed!

Initially, any join bank account, wedding photograph, chat log, call record, nikkah nama, etc are enough to establish spousal relationship. I would suggest go a head and apply I-130 even if you are missing any secondary proof (joint bank account). If they think they need more evidence, she will get RFE. But if she delay her I-130, it will further delay her case. What I am saying she could queue her application.

Re: Nikkah & Fiance Visa information needed!

Applying on GC is painful, but if you are applying your naturalization in June it will take 5 month from June. Its mean, you could eligible in December to claim yourself US citizen if everything goes fine. You can apply I-130 now and change your immigration status in December by calling USCIS.

I think you should call USCIS and ask if it is allowed to change your immigration status on your applied petition.

Edit: Here is PDF from official source. http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/Resources/B1en.pdf

Please read page # 2.
What if I filed a petition for a relative when I was a permanent resident, but I am now a U.S. citizen?

If you become a U.S. citizen and your relative’s petition has not yet been approved by USCIS, you will need to notify the Service Center where you filed your relative’s visa petition. You should send the notification to the Service Center address located on the receipt notice you received when you filed your Form I-130 petition. Please include a letter with information regarding your relative a copy of your Naturalization Certificate, and a copy of the petition receipt notice. Call Customer Service at 1-800-3755283 for additional assistance or if you are unsure about the status or location of your petition.

For I-130 application, what if you only have pictures of nikkah/rukhsati and not valima? Will they deny the application?

Re: Nikkah & Fiance Visa information needed!

Help please:
After getting nikah-ofied the girl gets her maiden name changed and gets a new NIC made. This NIC has her husband's name and so her present address is her husband's address too. Now in the form I-130 she filled in her husband's address in the section "where have you and your spouse lived together" now in her interview should she explain this and say that the rukhsati will be after she gets the visa or should she not explain this and say that she has had her rukhsati and come up with evidence for it?
Please help....
