Hi every one, what are the necessary things required for someone coming over the State to come with? How many KG should my bags weigh?

The necessary things depend on your needs and anticipated assistance from your host over there bros. Food items, laptops, clothes etc can be taken. You are entitled to 2 luggage, each must not exceed 23kg. How i wish i could refer you to the preparation thread we lost during the havoc. Stay blessed.

You will have to get started by going to the uscis website to download, fill and send in your submitted 1-130 form with the necessary documents.
Once uscis approves your application, usually in less than 6 months, then your petition transffered to NVC where affidavits of support would be required, at least one W-2 is required to be able to better determine your income range. NVC would require some of your original documents. I have just sent him my wife's birth cert and our marriage cert, both original, after they rejected the photocopies I sent in July. After NVC, your wife then awaits her interview call up.
uscs fee $420, NVC has 2 fees, $88 for AOS and $325 for visa fee, but always confirm the current amount.

once you file for your wife, It might be difficult for her to get a visit visa because of what they termed the immigrant intent, so you might want her to apply for a visit visa first.
