I'm sure this is a really stupid question, but I'm extremely paranoid!

On the I-130, question 15 - "Name and address of present employer" and then "Date this employment began", are they referring to the petitioner or beneficiary? I understand it to be directed towards the beneficiary, but am not sure.

Like I said, it's such an easy question, but I'm so nervous about everything...

Thanks :blush:

We made one mistake and it was this question ;-). They mean the beneficiary but we thought that it was the sponsor. In the end we filed a letter correcting the mistake and got no RFE. So, just to safe you the hassle we had: it's the beneficiary's employer that they ask for.

Thanks a ton! As much as I read this site religiously, I'm sure I'll have many more questions...

Thanks again!!!! :)

On second thought, here's another question...not as simple.

On my G-325a (I'm the beneficiary), I'm listing my employment for the past 5 years. I volunteered with Habitat for Humanity in the US for 11 months - I know that doesn't qualify as employment, but should I enter a line for those 11 months and indicate "none" to show that I was technically unemployed?

In the part where I list my residence for the past 5 years, I do show that I stayed in the US while I volunteered...so it would, in fact, correlate with my indicated employment.

Similarly, will they automatically frown upon me volunteering for 11 months in the US? I have a letter from HFH management to back me up, but I wasn't going to include it. I also went back to Canada over Christmas for 2 weeks during those 11 months - but once again, they wouldn't know that based on my I-130 or G-325a.

Is this something I should worry about?

Thanks :)

Hey Germanchick i believe i made the same mistake!!!!!!!

I put down my job under the beneficiary, how did you correct this?

Did you send a notice to them before you received your approval notice (NOA2)????

HELP!

I waited 5 months for a receipt I don’t want to wait much longer due to this mistake I made.

It's about the beneficiary, the foreign alien spouse who will seek an immigrant visa to come to USA.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

#######!!! I made this same mistake too!! I remember that question confused me a lot too when I was filing out the form. And at first I thought it was for the beneficiary but I over thought it and then decided..."why would they want to know where he works and not me, especially since they will get all that info on him in the G325 sheets"

Oh I hope this doesnt give me an RFE. :crying:

PUSH!: Pray Until Something Happens!

It is for the beneficiary, its clearly says on a top of it: C. Information about your relative, so whoever put information for their relatives its OK.

Thats what I put. Feel better now guys!!! :P
