I-130 Phone Number for petitioner living abroad

[cflag 0]

Hello, I am currently living abroad with my wife and we are going through the process of filling out the I-130 form after compiling all of our documents, we hope to send it to the Chicago lockbox in the coming days.

I have a question about filing out the form with foreign phone numbers. Should I list my parents phone number (who reside in the U.S) or should I put in my foreign phone number and remove the country code. Or will that confuse them and lead them to call a random U.S. number? I am asking this because when I'm filling out the form electionically the PDF has validation on the phone number fields which don't allow phone numbers longer than 10 digits for both mine and my wifes... Thus removing the option of the 3 digit Ukrianian country code...

Also for section E. "Signature of petitioner" the phone number field is basically formatted only for US phone numbers...

I know they never call these numbers, but I'm trying to decrease the likelyhood that I will get any requests for more information.

Thanks!!

Use a pen to write the phone numbers in the spaces.

You're right theyll never call. Putting in a foreign address will only cause confusion.

I would use a surrogate's phone#, or just get a free # from google voice...
