  • A copy of your birth certificate 
  • A copy of your passport 
  • A copy of your current and previous Visas if there have been any 
  • A copy of your marriage certificate as well as copies of marriage certificates for any previous marriages and documentation of how those marriages came to an end (Divorce Decree in case of Divorce, Death Certificate in case of death of former spouse etc.)
  • Photographs, tickets and any other proof showing that you have a real relationship 
  • A copy of the US spouse’s citizenship documentation (US birth certificate, Certificate of Naturalization, Green Card etc.)
