HOW DO YOU HELP YOUR NEWLY WED WIFE TO COME TO AMERICA?

TWO SITUATIONS TO CONSIDER:

1.        GO TO CAMBODIA  AND GET MARRIED OVERTHERE
 
                    Things and papers that you need:
                            A- Photos  ( of passport size )  of yourself  and your wife
                            B- US Immigration form     I-130  ( petition for brother/wife/mother...etc)
                                                                  G325A ( biography  declaration, 1 for you / 1 for your wife)
                            C- Fee  $100.00  as of 2001
                            D- Marriage certificate made  in Cambodia ( note that it should be in English and
                                                                                              Cambodian )
                            E- A sworn statement certified by a US Notary Public that you are still single here
                                            in the United States of America.  This can be done in the US Embassy
                                            in Phnom Penh as well.
                            F- A copy of your US citizenship ( notarized of course ).
 

                            When you are back in the United States, you must prepare the affidavit of support
                            (Form I-134 ? ) to sponsor your wife over.   Not everybody can sponsor his wife over.
                            Minimum annual income required is  $11,000.00 ( probably a little more in Hawaii ).
 
 

2.        FIANCEE FIRST AND GET MARRIED WITHIN 90 DAYS :

                            In this situation, you would go to Cambodia first.  You would spend sometime with your
                            fiancee such as going to different places, taking some pictures together....etc.
 
                            When you are back to the United states, you would file Form  I-129  and then manage to
                            get married within  90 days of the day you step in the United States.  Your fiancee might get
                            a Visa to come to United States with you - pending your ability to convince the US
                            Embassy in Phnom Penh.
 

                            This information serves only as a guide. It was given to me by a reliable source. Please
                            doublecheck with the US Immigration Office for more details.
