FORM I-130 - HELP / Important questions before sending to USCIS!

[leoidiarte 2]

Hello guys,

I'm almost ready to submit my process, but there are still some unanswered questions.

I count on help from experts! You guys are great!

FORM I-130

QUESTION #21

21) If filing for your husband/wife, give last address at which you lived together.

This question is easy, but I still have doubts ...

My wife and I got married in the U.S. last year and lived there for 5 months, then returned to Brazil, where we live now since then. We will put the current address we are living or address you live in the United States?

QUESTION #22

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

(a) 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:

(b) 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:

What should I write on that question? My wife and I are living in Brazil and we will apply the process from Brazil.

Thanks!

Are you trying to type it and it won't fit? If that's the case, handwrite it in.

Are you trying to type it and it won't fit? If that's the case, handwrite it in.

Thats right! Its because i cant type letters just numbers.

I think all the lines in question 22 should be N/A, since they are not in the United States.

on your form don't leave anything blank if it doesn't pertain to you write N/A in the blank

you are supposed to feel in every blank.

I think all the lines in question 22 should be N/A, since they are not in the United States.

It's a question with two distinct parts that are not intertwined (granted, it's not arranged well). I gave the OP the correct answer.

on your form don't leave anything blank if it doesn't pertain to you write N/A in the blank

you are supposed to feel in every blank.

For this particular question, I left the two lines on the left side blank and entered the appropriate information on the two lines on the right side. I did not have any issues doing it this way.

[newacct 688]

It's a question with two distinct parts that are not intertwined (granted, it's not arranged well). I gave the OP the correct answer.

The question has one overall instruction which is in bold ("Complete the information below if your relative is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status.")

and two subparts:

1) "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:"

2) "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:"

The overall instruction says not to complete it. So neither of the subparts should be filled in.

No, Ryan is correct. For consular processing, the second section should be filled it. The USCIS designed the I-130 badly in this section.

[leoidiarte 2]

So i type in my form

Not Applicable - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Correct?

Correct?

That would be correct.

No, Ryan is correct. For consular processing, the second section should be filled it. The USCIS designed the I-130 badly in this section.

Yes, it's for consular processing, but only if the relative is currently in the U.S. If you look at the original design in the 2005 version of the form, it's clear that the two parts are continuous sentences, and the bold part at the top applies to the entire question.
