as an american citizen I have read that there is a I-130 form for pettition for alien relative for my wife to fill out and a G-325 A biographic information form for myself to fill out so that my wife can have a visa to enter the US. Does anyone know if these forms must be approved first before visa for my wife is approved or issued or if these forms just need to be filled out and turned in first before visa is issued ..if anyone knows anything about this I would appreciate any information about his matter including the amount of time this might actually take..I would like to book travel plans for my wife and I but I understand I would need this visa first before they would allow her to enter the US.
