Still looking for answers to Q13 in I-130:

In Q.13: If you're US citizen, Complete the following:

a- Birth in the USA (Definitely No)

b- Naturalization. Give certificate number & date, & place of issuance (She lost her Naturalization certificate)

My wife was naturalized and now have US passprt.

She lost her naturalization certificate few years back.

a. So, what we should put in response to Q13 b

b. We can provide copy of her US passport but that'll be okay?

Looks like getting a new naturalization certificate is a long process and expensive too :no:

Please help if somebody have any info on this. :( :(

Thanks for your inputs !!

I gave you my opinion on the matter. If you use the search function, you might be able to find more of them. US passport is proof of US Citizenship.

"Certificate lost"?

..Don't make it too complicated. You don't have the certificate, you don't have the number and the info. Just write that. If you want, you can attach an additional sheet explaining it was lost.

Mate... just answer the question. When did you arrive in the US? Ignore slips of paper. When did you arrive here? Put that date.

confused, as in that case it doesn't match the date on the I-94 i put( Current I-94 & date arrived is in 2007)

its like:

Arrival/Departure record(I-94) Date Arrived (...in front of each other)

I first arrived on B1(2006), went back & then after a year arrived on H1B(2007) and never went out of country after that.

Remember, i had H1B extension (not stamped in passport as never went out of USA) which was done being in USA.

:unsure:

It is asking you, "when is the last time you crossed the border?" It sounds like 2007. They will know you got an H1B extension in-country. They need to know that you entered legally in the first place.

I really don't get why this is hard. :bonk:

When did you last arrive here? It's the actual day you physically got here, the last time.

To be successful in this process you need to be able to read accurately and interpret literally. Can you do that?

How about you put down the I-94 number and date that match, and right next it, or on an additional sheet of paper, write "New I-94 issued on xx/xx/xxxx in connection with H1-B extension. Number xxxx-xxxx, copy attached".

That makes sense. Thanks !!

In "Arrival/Departure record(I-94) Date Arrived"

I can provide "First Time" details

Below that next line is: Date authorized stay expired or will expire as shown on Form I-94

Here i can write the "CURRENT" I-94 details:

expiry date (I-94 number)

What you guys think? :)

Listen - this is not rocket science. Just put the information down in what ever way you think makes sense, as long as it is correct and matches the I-94s you have. You'll attach copies of both I-94s anyway, and the IOs at USCIS are not dumb. They'll figure out your H1-B was extended and the new I-94 issued without you leaving the country. Just fill out the paperwork and send it out - I think you are starting to over think this a little bit.
