Help Needed for I-130

[msmontader 10]

For a CR1 visa case, both the petitioner and beneficiary check the "other" box and then can type I-130 spouse. No need for a long explanation. The beneficiary is definitely NOT applying for permanent residency. The purpose is the same for both the petitioner and beneficiary. When adjusting status, both check "status as permanent resident" but not for a visa process.

However, what you do in this case is not really critical. USCIS knows the answer because the I-130 is in the package. No worries, either way but correct is still correct.

Thank you very much . i think i will just write other and put I-130 because i'm doing the I-130 .

Do you guys know about the I-130 Questions ?

Of course, but which I-130 questions. It's full of them. Here's a couple pointers. Read carefully, interpret literally and answer accurately. Study first the I-130 instructions, then the form. After you've done that, if you're certain what name goes on the first line of the second page of the form, let us know what that is and we'll give you a check on how you're doing with the first pointer above.

We're here to help you with things that are still not clear after you've studied the instructions.

1. Yes

2. Since your address is not abroad, no need to write address. Put your name in native alphabet on the G325a where asked too.

3. That's a legal matter, and the question is in present tense, so put the correct answer for the day the petition is mailed.

So, what name did you list first in 17 at the top of page 2?

(Not assuming you are the foreigner. You earlier stated YOU are in removal proceedings. US Citizens are NEVER in removal proceedings.)

If you are the foreigner, that is wrong. The question asks for the names of the spouse and children of your alien relative. If you are the foreign spouse, then your US Citizen spouse's name goes there along with ALL (if any) of YOUR children no matter how old they are or where they are living. You might be surprised at how many folks get that wrong. It's probably the most common error. If you answered this one wrong. It's time to re-think what I might have meant by "Read carefully, interpret literally and answer accurately." Is it possible you not only did not CAREFULLY read the I-130 instructions but didn't read them at all? Has your attorney advised you that section six on page two of those instructions does NOT apply to you?

If you are the foreign spouse, your first mistake was to think this is YOUR form. It is not. It is the US Citizen's petition in your behalf. The US Citizen's information goes on the left side of the first page, not yours.

Your second mistake was to think you need a visa (You are posting in a forum about spouse immigrant visas.) Yes, filing the I-130 is part of any spouse immigration process, but visas are used to enter countries. You are already here. You need to study and follow the adjustment of status process. Hopefully, you also have a qualified immigration attorney advising you, as your situation definitely requires one.

Your questions are not bothering me and neither are your mistakes. I'm trying to help you recognize and correct the mistakes, including the potential mistake you may be making in having your wife file this form at all. Did you read number 6 on page two of the I-130 instructions? If so, why do you think it does not apply to you?
