I-130 Package contents

[kvijayk]

I'm a GC holder wanting to sponser GC for my spouse who is outside USA. Do I need to hire a attorney for this or can I do it on my own.
Instructions on I-130 fome seem simple.

Also I've few questions about required documents for I-130 package.

(1) Do I need to submit 4 copies of G325A or just one copy is enough?
Because I read on one of the forums thread that we need to submit 4 copies of it. Is that true.

(2) My I-130 package contains following. Is there any thing I'm missing?

* filing fee check for $420
* G325A (Sponsor)
* G325A (Benefitionary)
* My GC Copy
* My DOB copy
* Marriage Certificate copy
* Bank document to prove on going marriage relation ship

Is there any thing that I'm missing?

Thanks
