We establish US citizenship by including in the package copies of the citizen’s US passport, US birth certificate or Certificate of Naturalization. Any one of these documents will suffice.

We then have to explain with the aid of photographs, testimonials, phone bills and past flight itineraries how the parties met and how their relationship developed culminating in an engagement.

Finally, we gather supporting documentation to establish that a wedding is indeed being planned. For this, we request copies of all paid invoices for the wedding such as wedding chapel reservation, invitation cards, wedding dress receipts etc. Clients will be at various stages in their wedding plans. Some have elaborate wedding plans and some have very simple plans. The point is that we document what plans are in place and explain it in the overall petition application.

When all the required information is completed your attorney will write a brief (letter in support of the petition) that will argue before USCIS the merits of your petition and refer to all the documentation in support of your petition.

Even though we will be only at the petition phase, your attorney will also be gathering additional information from you to cover all the other phases as far as possible so that work can continue on your case after your petition has been filed. The following are some of the items that your attorney will instruct you to prepare and send in.

1. Copy tax returns over the last three years. Both parties.
2. Police report. Alien only.
3. Evidence of net worth
4. Information on any potential co-sponsors to the application (see later).
