Only if the spouse beneficiary is physically present in the United States. If the spouse beneficiary is not physically in the United States, a signature is not required; same for passport-style photos. See Note 1 under "who may file form I130?" in the instructions for information on the signature requirements for I130a, and item 5.a under "general requirements" also in the instructions for information on passport-style photo requirements

one more question about the signature, since the beneficiary dont have to sign it, will just leave the space for signature blank right?

good day everyone, i am helping a friend filling out his i-130 form. his parents are both deceased. my question is, do i still have to put their names in the form? even tho they are both deceased? or should i just put "deceased"?

thanks again

[LilyJ 1,258]

Yes you'll list their names, but in the portion where it asks for their current residency, you'll write "deceased". You'll still put their names under the part where it asks for their names though

~~~Similar topics merged; please ask all questions you have about completing the I-130 in this thread instead of starting a new thread for every question you have about completing that form.~~~

He can submit a photocopy of his birth certificate/naturalization certificate instead as proof of citizenship if he wants, easier to do than scanning all 28+ passport pages + biographical page. If he’s using it for passport stamps as proof of bona fide marriage then he can just scan the pages with stamps, if to prove citizenship then yes it’s all pages, but like I said it’s easier to just use US birth certificate (if born in the US) or naturalization certificate (if born outside the US) as proof of citizenship. Photocopies/scans are better to use than photos as they are clearer and easier to read with no obstructions

thank you again, and one more question, since the beneficiary is not in the US, the beneficiary dont have to submit the passport size photo anymore? or is it still required?just like the petitioner has to submit photo also? appreciate your help

Yes the beneficiary isn’t required to submit passport size photos if not in the US but the petitioner still must submit 2 passport size photos

hello again everybody, vj is really such a great helped for me ever since and i just want to thank everybody for every helped that you guys did by answering my questions.

today im not gonna ask question, but just want to clarify something just to make sure that i understood it right. In the checklist for the i-130 it says to give copies of documents showing that all prior marriages were terminated, and i have a friend that im helping with the petition, and he got divorced for 3 times, i only asked for the very recent divorce paper as a proof, am i doing the right thing? or does he need to provide for the 1st and 2nd divorce paper? thank you guys in advance

All prior means ALL. So yes, you need the other divorce decrees.

i have a question about the i-130 form, in PART 4 number 14 it says about the "other address and contact information" in number 14 it asked about the "day time telephone number" my question is, whose number should i put there? the petitioner or the beneficiary? coz the questions above the numbers were about the beneficiary, so i kinda got confused if whose number should i put.

Read the words after "Part 4".  You will find the words "Information about the beneficiary".  You are asking about the answer to the first question in that section.
