Hi,

Looking for some help with a couple of questions in section C. of the I-130 for my husband to fill out.

Question 15. Name and address of employer: I am self-employed as a therapist, should he just list self-employed and my address? Should we list my occupation?

Question 17. List husband/wife: I assume this is to have my husband's information (just double checking)

Question 21. Give last address you lived together: N/A? As we have never lived together...

Question 22.

Complete the information below if your relative is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status...etc.:

I am kinda clueless as to what to write here...

Thank you. I'm sure there will be many other questions along the way.

Met in 2004 at a Dave Matthews Band concert, started dating November 2005, engaged February 2009 and married November 14, 2009. Together in the US on March 19th 2011

Hi Heather and Matt!

Welcome, this place is awesome for help and such along the way..

15. Yes, list self-employed, occupation

17. Yes, list your husband's name.

21. You don't live in the US, right? So just put N/A for that then.

22.Put N/A for that as you're not adjusting status right? Use N/A for anything not applicable to you, btw

Already we are finding out about how great this forum is and how wonderfully helpful everyone is. :)

22. I forgot to add the second part to that question....If your relative is not eligible for adjustment of status, he or she will apply for a visa abroad at the American consular post in??

Should I put N/A for this as well, or do I have to put the American Consular post in Canada? Which is?

And I'll be writing this in the second part of that question, right? I feel like I am going to become OCD with checking and rechecking everything on these forms. :blush:

Does it really matter if I put N/A or none? I was reading in the assembly instructions that I should be using which ever is appropriate. If one is used over another, are they that ####### about the usage?

Well not in general, but I would try to use the one that is most appropriate anyway - because they are...picky sometimes :lol:

Hi all,

Newcomer to the process - just putting together I-130 for IR-1, have been trolling the site for about a week now. You all seem very helpful and knowledgeable, so I'm sure I'll be on to ask lots of questions!

Husband (dual US/Can citizen) and I (Can cit) have been married 4 and a bit years, currently living in Canada. I have continued using my maiden name, didn't want to do legal name change, all of my current documentation has my maiden name. I presume I should use my maiden name on the forms, but do I put my married name for the question (#7) 'Other Names Used'? - It suggests maiden name.

Also - it asks for the address in the US where your relative (me) intends to live. We do not have a residence there yet, my husband was going to move into his parents' house until the visa gets sorted out, then we will find a place together. Should I write his parent's address?

Thank you!

Thanks for all the questions, they have been a big help. I had another similar question.

On Question #15 of the I-130...does anyone know if that is the U.S. Citizen Employer or The Foreign Spouse Employer? I am a USC applying for my wife who lives in Denmark. Thank you for any help
