Can the beneficiary of AOS prepare I-864, I-130... for Petitioner?

[kebandre 0]

Is there anything wrong with the beneficiary of an AOS preparing documents such as the I864 and I130 for the petitioner? Does it look bad or any negative implications in doing so?

I would like to know that too.

Both forms allows a preparer to sign off on it, but would still require the petitioner/sponsor to sign off on it. I don't have any personal experience to say whether it is good or bad, but I am inclined to say it does not matter much.

Through the whole visa process i prepared all the forms and my husband just signed where I told him too. Why would that be a problem? Besides how would they know? Unless you fill the part about someone else filling it for you.

I thought the same thing too.My husband just did the 1-130 coz i was worried they would think i filled it in my handwriting.As long as there are two different signatures it sfine

No need to sign that you are the preparer on the forms. That section is for a lawyer or 3rd party you hired to file the papers for you. Just so long as the USC petitioner knows what the form states and what they are signing, it is fine.

It helps people know where you are in the process and what you are filing for and from so you can get the best answers for your situation.

~ Moved from AOS from Family Based Visas to AOS from Work, Student & Tourist Visas- assuming this is not for adjustment from a family based visa since the I-130 is being used ~

I was the beneficiary and I completed all the forms and got my husband ti sign them where needed. I just made him read the notes about the I864 to ensure he knew what he was signing about! To be honest, because I couldn't work and he was working, I had the time to do them and he didn't. Plus I'm better at this type of paperwork.

If you are from a high fraud country it is a red flag ( makes you seem to be doing the work not the one wanting their partner with them ) most places this is probably ignored

But does it matter if its all typed?

It's for someone like a lawyer or if you don't understand English, a translator.

You can argue that the beneficiary is also a third party (technically), but who can tell from an all-typed form?

Can't see it being an issue, I filled out all the forms for my husband (the beneficiary) and myself (the US citizen), and just had him sign wherever needed. However, I see where NigeriaorBust is coming from in that it could be just one person doing all the work in "exchange" for citizenship - but honestly, unless you fill in a bunch of incorrect info on multiple forms, I don't know how they could know.
