required forms for living abroad
I am a US citizen, my husband is a Canadian. We currently live in Canada. We filed the I-130 in December. Do we have to file more than that? I know from within the US you would ideally file the 485 at the same time. Is there a form like that to file from abroad as well? or is it just bringing your paperwork once it's approved and going through the NVC?

you don’t have to file any form after I130. just wait for the approval and NVC will send you an email for the next steps!

you shouldn’t need to submit anything else for now. Just wait for I130 approval and move from there

Did you submit form I-131A with the I-130? I believe that that is required.

@s j Wonderful!! Thanks for letting me know! We sent ours (via online) at the beginning of June 2021, and are still waiting! 😕 How is the next step of the process going for you?
