Form I-130

[RebeccaS 7]

I am helping my brother with his I-130 Package. Last year he filled this out and sent it for his wife but the USCIS sent a notice for intent to deny. It was hectic after that and he wasn't able to send supporting documents. So now he is starting all over.

For question #2 in part D of the I-130 form the question is Have you ever before filed a petition for this or any other alien?

Obviously he should check yes. But then they ask give name, place, and date of filing and result.

He would put the name of his wife the date it was filed and the result is intent to deny, right? But what is the place? The place she lives or where he filed the petition, the USCIS? I don't understand and don't want to give him the wrong answer and he goes through a hard time with this again. Please help. Thanks.

The place is the USCIS office that he filed at.

Understanding the question comes down to grammar, specifically the commas. Under the question is a note that says "If 'Yes,' give name, place and date of filing and result." So you can see the comma breaks the question up. List the name, then list the place and date of filing, then the result.

Hope that helps.

The petition would have been denied, not intent to deny. If he did not supply the appropriate supporting documents, the petition would have been denied.

Put down the service center it was processed at and the date of his NOA1.
