Info regarding I-130

[Bucur 0]

Hello, I filed the I-130 two weeks ago and after speaking with a person somewhat knowledgeable in the process I was asked to look at question #22 on the I-130. #22 asks if the relative will apply for adjustment of status in the US. I looked at the question and realized that I did not fill it out, it was left blank. I am worried now that this will stop the form process or delay it on some way. I was told that I should have answered it to adjust status in US .... I am extremely upset at myself and bummed to say the least. Is there anyone that has also done this that can provide me with some type of explanation as to "what now?"

Any info is greatly appreciated.

Respectfully,

Brian.

Brian,

Wait for an RFE. But don't hold your breath while doing so.

I left that blank since I was not in the U.S. Is the foreign spouse in the U.S. or abroad?

Mine was processed without any delays or RFEs.

That's one of those questions that I looked at and thought #######! Because it clearly starts off asking to fill it out if your spouse is IN the USA. But then from the rest of the question it looks like they still want you to fill out something even if they are not in the USA. Very poorly designed like most of the rest of the forms and process imo.

If your relative is not in the USA, the question can be answered as N/A. Period. This question relates to people who are in the USA legally (or maybe not) and are required to file an I-130 as part of Adjusting Status.

The I-130 is not always used to petition for a visa. If you are already in the USA, you often don't need a visa.
