1-130 A Part 4

[naslam900 0]

i  have a similar question on form I-130A Part 4, points 1.a, 1.b, or 2. First, I am the Petitioner of form I-130, and the citizen spouse (husband). My wife lives overseas. I have completed form I-130 entirely (no professional translator or preparer).  So, I assume that I can also prepare form I-130A for my wife  and submit with our Form I-130 (probably send to Chicago). The issue is that form I-130A seems to want my wife to select either point 1.a , 1.b, or 2 (of Part 4 - Spouse Beneficiary's Statement). In fact, the NOTE: says: "Select the box for either Item Number 1.a or 1.b If applicable, select the box for Item 2." and if box 2, "preparer". In Part 6 (Contact Information, Declaration, and Signature of the Person Preparing this Form, if Other than the Spouse Beneficiary", the instructions say: "Provide the following information about the preparer you used to complete Form I-130A IF HE OR SHE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE PREPARER USED TO COMPLETE THE FORM I-130 FILED ON YOUR BEHALF. (caps mine). As I said, I completed Form I-130, but I am not a professional "preparer". I am assuming that we should check Part 4 boxes 1.a,  & 1.b, and 2 leave blank. Any ideas, please. We want to file ASAP, but this is a hangup. 

Thank you in advance

In your case, no preparer.  Unless you needed to also interpret, no interpreter either.

You want me to look up the form and find those spots?  Not going to happen.  Check the box that applies.
