To Whom It May Concern:

Please find enclosed my Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative on behalf of my wife,
(wife’s name).

Please note that I am currently living with my wife in Malaysia on a tourist visa that I renew
every three months. I contacted the US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, and they told me since I
do not meet the requirements to be a resident of Malaysia, I do not qualify for Direct
Consular Filing (email included on next page). Therefore, I am filing my I-130 Petition with
the USCIS. On my application, I have listed my US permanent address, where I intend to
return with my wife in late 2011. Please also use my US address as my mailing address.

Included are the following documents:

• Personal check in the amount of $420

• I-130 Petition for Alien Relative
• Copy of unexpired U.S. passport (Petitioner)
• G-325A (Petitioner)
• Passport Style Photo (Petitioner)
• G-325A (Beneficiary)
• Passport Style Photo (Beneficiary)

Evidence of Bona Fide Marriage:

• Letter explaining our relationship history, marriage, and our future plans together
• Copy of Marriage Certificate from Malaysia
• Copy of apartment lease in Penang, Malaysia, where we currently live together
• Copy of bank statement showing joint account
• Photo pages as evidence to our bona fide relationship and marriage

Thank you very much for your prompt attention to this matter.

Respectfully,
