Questions for I-130

[Cadi24 0]

C.14 Arrival/Departure Record (I-94)

My wife is Canadian (her status: visitor) and does not have this. Do I put N/A? If yes, should I still put when she got here under "Date arrived"?

C.19 Your relative's address abroad

Even though she lives with me now, must I mention her address back home? She used to live with family. If not, do I put N/A or None?

C.21 Give last address at which you lived together

Do I put N/A or None, or should I put our current address?

C.22 Your relative is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident at the USCIS office in

I'm a little confused. Do I put Chicago or Boston (where I live)

Also, is it okay if I put dashes (------) in certain boxes?

i.e. For Apt. No. and Middle Name

Many thanks. And Happy Holidays.

You have to fill us in, is your wife currently in the US? If so how? Does she plan on returning to Canada?

This will impact how you answer the questions

good luck

Thanks, Canadian_Wife. Yes, my wife is currently living with me in the US. She came here for a 2-week stay, but I proposed and asked her to stay with me forever ... She said yes We got married and here we are now, getting ready to keep her here via the whole AOS route. She will not be leaving until this is all over.

I don't know the answer to your first question, but other Canadians should be able to help you with that. Her address is abroad is the last address where she lived in Canada, with her family. The last address at which you lived together is your current address. I wrote Chicago for the USCIS office, but I've seen people on VJ put the name of their local office there successfully as well.

Hello

I'm gonna put the answers right next to the questions.

C.14 Arrival/Departure Record (I-94)

My wife is Canadian (her status: visitor) and does not have this. Do I put N/A? If yes, should I still put when she got here under "Date arrived"?

- Are you sure she doesn't have an I-94 card? In case not, put the date she arrived.

C.19 Your relative's address abroad

Even though she lives with me now, must I mention her address back home? She used to live with family. If not, do I put N/A or None?

- You have to mention her address abroad. You have no other choice even if she lived with her family.

C.21 Give last address at which you lived together

Do I put N/A or None, or should I put our current address?

- put your current address and right next to it put the dates. It could be an estimate.

C.22 Your relative is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident at the USCIS office in

I'm a little confused. Do I put Chicago or Boston (where I live)

- This is one is tricky and you might have to decide whether you put the Chicago office or the boston office. I'm in the same situation and I think I'm gonna put Chicago even though I live in L.A

Also, is it okay if I put dashes (------) in certain boxes?

i.e. For Apt. No. and Middle Name

- It's not recommendable to use dashes in certain boxes. It's better if you put none or n/a.

Good luck, Happy Holidays

Do I put Chicago Lockbox or just Chicago, IL?

[canadian_wife 1,829]

Canadians rarely get I94s so if your wife does not have one, simply put NA and the date she arrived

99jjeerwerc : Thanks for your answers. Based on further research I think for question C.22 we have to put our local office in the left part if our spouse is currently in the US, though I've also read that some people used Chicago, IL and didn't get a REF. I'm going to put my local office just to be safe.

Here's a local office locator you can use:

Local Office Locator

I'm still unsure about question C.19 "Your relative's address abroad" I thought that was only for those outside the US? Further feedback would be appreciated. My wife does not plan on returning home so can I simply put N/A or must I really put her family's address there?

Just put the abroad address even if she doesn't wanna go back. They just wanna have an address in record so they can proceed with the background investigation right after your biometrics are taken. I heard this from a friend who did an AoS succesfully.

Also, my wife doesn't have a middle name. Can I leave that part blank? If I put "None" they might think that's her middle name Not sure if I can use dashes instead...

[canadian_wife 1,829]

Since she doesn't have a middle name, why not put "n/a" since that part of the form doesn't apply to her?

[Cadi24 0]

Sounds good. On the example form the apartment # is left blank. Is that okay? Or should I put None / N/A? Instructions say not to leave anything blank. I'd hate to get a REF for something as minor as that.

Hi. I don't have middle name myself and I left my middle name blank. It went fine. I think you can left APT# blank as well if you don't have any number to put down.

Thank you PinkMelody

I was also wondering, for Question C-19 do I have to put my wife's number abroad even though she's living here with me and can't be reached at her Canadian house number? (Her parents own the house)

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

You put none for address abroad and your current address for last address where you lived together.
