the officer make mistake center nebraska

[bavana Havana 3]

since  21 march  we waiting for the approval from nebraska center , till we get letter RFE  sayin that my husband  didnt sign the form i130a  ,  at the form they saying if my husband  outside USA i can sign it  and i did , but this RFE  sayin my husband  should i called  them yesterday  they said am right and they dont know why the office ask for it  i dont understant  what wrong with this

IO is right....I130A is supposed to be signed by benificary and if benificary is out side USA either u leave it blank or petitioner should arrange to have it signed by benificary regardless of what the instructions saying in order to reduce wait time....in today world there r many recourses to have your docs delivered where ever u want and re delivered to original location...so just my opinion for future applicants to just have benificary signed by INK form I130A ...to kill extra wait time which could be tackled upfront when filling.. Again I could be wrong but that’s what my experience says regarding blogs of people who got REF for signed I130 A

There is a I 130 for the petitioner and the I 130 A is for the beneficiary . They are both submitted. She is right. If the beneficiary is not in the USA,  the I 130 will not require to be signed. It's a mistake from the officer.

You probably submitted long time ago. There was another form for the beneficiary but I don't recall the name. Now there is I 130 and I 130 A .

wow 

so,  when people go to marry , they should take these forms with them to fill with spouse

i did that anyway as we use to have to do the bio form

and one section said to fill out in his native language

can  the person sign it with a POA?

I don't know when the form was changed because we applied in late 2017. The I-130 and the I-130A can be filled by the petitioner. If the beneficiary is not living in the USA his signature is not required. That was my case.

then why is USCIS telling this person they need the benefiary to sign it and giving a RFE for this

i did take a look at the form and it says beneficary signature required

The I-130 + I-130A is required for a spouse. This was added in either late 2016 or early 2017.
