Highlight all the hardships if family is separated or have to move outside the US.

You'll need to submit the waiver request to USCIS. Then, they'll tell NVC to hold off on scheduling the interview appointment at consulate. Once USCIS approves your waiver, they'll notify NVC that they're good to schedule an interview.

Both, you should mention the hardship your spouse would suffer if he/she were to stay behind. Also, the hardship your spouse would suffer he/she would suffer if she were to move with you to your home country for 3/10 years.

Good luck!

The sooner the better. Takes a while to prepare and as of right now 6-8 months for the decision.

Congratulations!

USCIS will transfer your case to NVC. You'll need to wait for the NVC to issue you a case number. Then, you will need to pay the Immigrant Visa (IV) and Affidavit of Support (AOS) fees.

Once you have those paid, you may file the I-601A waiver application.

Good luck!

I don't think you need to wait for USCIS to transfer your case to NVC to file your i601a...... there are several steps involved before you need to deal directly with NVC. Start your waiver asap.

This is partially correct.

Yes, you can start working on the I-601A form and hardship letter, but you cannot file it until you receive your NVC case number and have paid the IV and AOS fees.

As part of the I-601A application, you have to include your NVC case number and copies of the IV and AOS receipts.

My wife and I are sending our I-130 & I-130A this week.

We have:
1. Marriage license from the Santa Clara County
2. Forms I-130 & I-130A filled out
3. Check written out for $535
4. Documents showing our names together in one savings joint account with a local credit union - 2 joint credit card accounts
5. Document showing that I have added my wife on my health, vision, and dental issuance and that she is 100% beneficiary on my life insurance
6. Joint accounts show we share the same physical address
7. Photos and boarding passes from our trips to: Alaska, Hawaii, Chicago, Las Vegas, Reno/Tahoe, Florida - pictures showing when I proposed to her and our friends that attended, Puerto Rico, also wedding pictures from her friends' wedding, her cousins' wedding, my cousins wedding throughout 2015 to 2018
8. Wedding pictures showing her, me, her family, and my family all together.
9. Wedding cards from my family and her friends
10. Affidavits from my childhood friend, my family, a friend from college who was with us in Florida for the engagement and Puerto Rico, her sister

Should I include anything else? We're self filing.

We just opened a joint Chase credit card with a bonus of 60,000 points that we are going to save when all is said and done - finally do our honeymoon in Croatia!


***forgot to note***
Our joint bank accounts provided us with a bank statement with the same address to prove we live together - is this good enough? We dont have a lease as we are living with my folks to save for a house, which we plan to buy in 2019-2020.

***2nd edit***

Forgot to mention I provided a receipt of the proposal ring I got for her, which was a good chunk of change (my bonus).
