How to fill out I-130 and I-130a and what documents to attach

[Mae Harry 0]

Hello everyone!

 

Husband (the petitioner, LPR) and I have been filling out the I-130 and I-130a these past days and we hope we can be clarified on the following:

 

1.       Husband is previously divorced.  How will he write down the name of his previous spouse?  Will it be the maiden name of the previous spouse, or her married name at the time she was married ? (surname of my husband)

2.       Is the travel document number different from the passport number?  I have a B2 visa, and it has a control number on the visa.  Is this the travel document number? 

3.       Is the Alien Registry Number different from the USCIS number on the Green Card?

4.       I am outside of US so I cannot sign the I-130a.  Do I need to mail a signed copy?

5.       The preparer of the I-130a is my husband?  But he does not have a preparer for his I-130 because he filled it out himself.

6.       Do I need to print and submit colored copies of the original colored documents such as marriage certificate? Or will black and white copies suffice?

7.       Do we still need to submit:

·         passport bio pages of both of us

·         birth certificates of both of us

·         2x2 ID pictures of both of us

          I read that some still submit these.

 

8.       How do get call logs from our Messenger calls?

9.       How many pictures do you recommend that we send?

10.   Do we need to attach an affidavit from a 3^rd party regarding our relationship?

11.   Do we need to attach copy of the i-94 of my husband to prove that he visits me?

12.   How do I bind the copy of divorce documents?  Can I staple it?  13 pages. 

13.   What do you recommend for binding ALL the documents?   Fastener or binder?

 

Sorry for the lengthy post and numerous questions.  Just wanted to be sure I did not miss anything 😃

 

Thank you for your time 😃
