Thanks Hank! Do you know if she will need to file I-130A as well? Kinda confused with the instructions. They are also asking for a passport photo of my parents. 

Yes to the I-130a, your dad is the spouse beneficiary.   This can be completed by your mom and submitted, your dad doesn't not have to complete it ... and if mom completes it DON'T sign it.

 

Your mom is petitioning your her husband and daughter (as derivative) correct?   Yes to passport photos of your mom & dad as she is the petitioner and he is the beneficiary.

So I-130 and I-130a both to be submitted?

 

oh ok, I guess we will need to ask my dad to mail us his passport photo. We need to wait to file until we have the photo in hand.

 

thanks Hank! You’re such a big help as always.

And yes to my sister as my mom’s derivative.

Make sure his passport photo is to U.S. sizing and requirement as they are different from Philippine passport photos.

Correct, I-130 & 130a.        

 

Your sister would be a derivative of you dad's petition.   Your dad is the one being petitioned by your mom correct?

I guess my dad can mail us the I-130A since we will be asking him to mail us his passport photo correct?

Passport style photo for what reason?  Probably should go back and read the instructions.

He doesn't need to complete it .. your mom can, I made mention of this in an earlier posting to you  (about 6 posts back).    Just don't sign it if your mom completes it.

Page 6.

 

You must submit two identical color passport-style photographs of yourself and your spouse (if he or she is in the United States) taken within 30 days of filing this petition. The photos must have a white to off-white background, be printed on thin paper with a glossy finish, and be unmounted and unretouched.

Yes.  Is the beneficiary spouse in the USA?  Otherwise not required

Beneficiary is in the Philippines. Petitioner is in the US and holds a 10 year GC. So is it not required to submit the passport photo then?

Yes you did mention that. I was just thinking since the form is for the beneficiary and if he is mailing us the photo picture then might as well send us his signed I-130a

No passport style photo is needed from the beneficiary as he is not inside the USA
