My brother recently got married and his wife needs to file him.
I was reading the forum and itself get my Green card through TN and educate myself enough that I am feeling confident and think that we don't need attorney to file my brother's case and of course with the help of this forum.

His case is straight forward and there is no complication.

I just don't want to screw up his case and I would really appreciate the help here specially from Triple Citizen.

I am following these steps described here

With I-130 We are only sending
  1. copy of marriage certificate (along with translation)
  2. G-325A (all four pages) for both husband and wife
  3. Passport size photos for both husband and wife
  4. Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by third parties havingpersonal knowledge of the bona fides of the marital relationship as an Evidence of a bonafide marriage

I plan to send this package to
USCIS P.O. Box 804616 Chicago, IL 60680-1029
because the USC lives in Virginia


Once we get the approval for I-130 we plan to send the I-129F along with the following
  1. Copy of I-130 Transfer Notice
  2. Form I-129F: Petition for Alien Fiance(e)
  3. G-325A (all four pages) for both husband and wife
  4. One passport-type photo for both husband and wife
  5. Copy of the Birth certificate for the US Citizen
  6. Copy of the NOA1 from the I-130
  7. A copy of your marriage certificate along with translation



After that the consulate will contact the spouse in foreign country to apply for non-immigrant visa and once the spouse here in USA he/she can apply for 485/EAD etc.

Please correct if I am wrong here somewhere.
This is a straight forward steps for someone who never been here in USA


I will list the steps for 485/EAD steps later.

Thanks,
 
this is actually not a reply to this situation but can someone please answer my question? If a U.S. citizen is currently out of job, can he petition for his wife who lives abroad? thanks anyone!
 
Yes, as long as the US citizen can find a financial co-sponsor.
