I-130 Question B14b

[N876 0]

Hi everyone

as I was preparing the I-130 for petitioning for my daughter, I encountered a problem with filling out the form.

Question B.14b asks whether I gained my permanent resident status through marriage to a US citizen or lawful permanent resident?

My story is that my husband came to US on F1 visa and I came with him on F2 visa. After he finished his studies, he found a job and the company sponsored him for his greencard and then I applied for my greencard since my husband became a PR. Now, what confuses me is that although I obtained my GC for the reason that I was the wife of a PR, but it was NOT "through marriage"! We were married long before that (outside of US). It was not like I married a PR and I was living overseas, then he petitioned for me, they gave me GC and then I came to the states.

The question is, whether I should check Yes, or No to answer this question.

Thank you all

Yes. You got a greencard through him because you were married. Yes.

Yes. You got a greencard through him because you were married. Yes.

through him correct, but the term "through marriage" in my mind sounds like he first was a PR and then I married him but thanks for your response

It was still through marriage.
