Comprehensive list of documents for FTJ
Though I posted this earlier but I think you all need it now for sure. Update the list with local procedures.
1) Form DS-230 Part I and II. Only DS230 part I needs to be signed. Do not sign on DS230 part II as the officer will get it signed from you when u go for the interview. You need to write your name in native language in both part I and II by hand.
2) Your original birth certificate and a copy.
3) Your original marriage certificate and a copy.
4) Your original english translation of marriage certificate and a copy.
5) Your passport.
6) Your medical Exam report. Only designated places can do your medical. Check for your local embassy to find one.
7) You need to provide two pics of the FTJ beneficiary. The requirements are below.
8) I-134 affidavit or support. This should accompany all tax returns, bank letter, pay stub and employment letter. Check in I-134 about all the requirements. This document is available on USCIS website and can be easily filled and then you need to notorize it with any notary.
9) Copy of Green card.
10) Copy of ADIT stamp on passport.
11) Copies all all receipt and approval notices of principal and beneficiary. Though this not required but you never know.
12) Police certificate from all the places where your wife lived earlier. If its the same city then one is enough. If its different city then you need to get one from there as well. This will take little more time so get it done before time. However this document expires after certain period around six months.

3. I-134 Filled and signed by sponsor (which is us) - [Will just the scanned copy sent to our spouse is okay ? or original to be couriered ? ]
Please update if you think anything else got to be added what we need to send.
