Answers in bold and red

Got some questions I guess. Seems to me the first step can be the most important in deciding how long you're left waiting before they approve it, so I wanna get it right. I'll number them to make it easier to respond by question. Didn't wanna clutter up the forum. To clarify, this is for the I-130, with both of us living outside the states in a shared address. Been married for a few years. Check my post history if you want the full story I guess. Anyways, onwards.

 

1. I've seen a lot of posts and guides advising the inclusion of chatlogs. I've got a couple book's worth of pages of skype logs (This is not hyperbole, it's easily 250+ pages), as well as endless emails. Am I supposed to print these out physically and include them, or what?

You don't have to print all of it, select samples over the course of your relationship

 

2. I don't have the boarding passes for all my airplane trips. I do have the emails for purchasing them, and my passport is filled with stamps for the 5 or so borders I've been across with him. I plan to include a full photocopy of my passport, but should I include printed off records of the purchased tickets, or will they be unacceptable as not being original?

The entry stamps show you actually went to a place and that carries more weight than records of purchased tickets.  If you choose to include the records of purchased tickets, photocopies are perfectly acceptable and that is what would be expected.

 

3. I have a video of our marriage ceremony. Is there any way to include this? USB stick or something?

No, electronic media will not be viewed.

 

4. I have a couple leases we've shared over the last couple years. Do I copy them in their entirety, or just the pages that show we signed a lease together at a certain address? This application is going to be a couple pounds of paper at this rate.

The pages showing that you actually signed at a specific address should be sufficient (and you are submitting a petition, not an application).

 

5. I don't have a US bank or account to pay the processing fee. My current plan is to mail them to my mother stateside after sending her the money, and she can include a money order from her account. I guess I'm wondering if the fee being drawn off someone else's account besides the petitioner will cause an issue.

Not an issue

 

6. I'm listing the address we plan to live at as my grandmother's, as being out of the country for two years means I don't have a house or somesuch. I plan to move out very shortly from her house if approved though. Also wondering if that's a problem.

Not a problem

 

7. The photocopies of documents I have are in black and white. Do they need to be in color?

Doesn't matter

 

Thanks for your help.

**Moderator hat off**

 

For starters, an I-130 is a petition form, not an application form.  If you are petitioning a step child in addition to a spouse, then two petitions (along with the fee) will need to be submitted.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresVisa Received...

Thanks for your feedback.  I just don't know why they wouldn't just put IT instead of ITLY without the A...maybe I'm over analyzing but my husband said that he won't risk coming into the US with his visa like that unless it's confirmed that they would accept that.  He has had some bad experiences with customs in the US.  We did email the consulate, but they won't respond until next week and we want to book his ticket.  We have been apart over 6 months.

 

It may be better to contact CBP and ask them this question; they might even reply to you sooner.

i think NVC is more concerned for your beneficiary than your background.

 

The NVC is not involved here, the petition was denied by USCIS.
