Q about I130 filling

[ilan125 1]

Hello,

My wife and I are filling I 130, I am an american citizen, both of us live outside the US and are planing to immegrate once  she recives an immegrant visa.

page:7  Part 4. Information about beneficiary:

beneficiary entry information- She has a tourist visa and visited the US last year, currentaly she is NOT in the US. Do we still fill in the number of her I-94 arrival-departure record? 

The reason we ask is because on the Instructions for Form I-130 page: 5, #:7:

7. Form I-94 Arrival-Departure Record. Complete Part 4., Item Numbers 46.b. - 50., of the petition regarding the admission or travel document for the beneficiary. If U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) or USCIS issued the beneficiary a Form I-94, Arrival-Departure Record, provide the beneficiary’s Form I-94 number and date that his or her authorized period of stay expires or expired (as shown on Form I-94). The Form I-94 number also is known as the Departure Number on some versions of Form I-94. NOTE: If the beneficiary was admitted to the United States by CBP at an airport or seaport after April 30, 2013, he or she may have been issued an electronic Form I-94 by CBP, instead of a paper Form I-94. The beneficiary may visit the CBP website at www.cbp.gov/i94 to obtain a paper version of his or her electronic Form I-94. CBP does not charge a fee for this service. Some travelers admitted to the United States at a land border, airport, or seaport, after April 30, 2013 with a passport or travel document, who were issued a paper Form I-94 by CBP, may also be able to obtain a replacement Form I-94 from the CBP website without charge. If his or her Form I-94 cannot be obtained from the CBP website, it may be obtained by filing Form I-102, Application for Replacement/Initial Nonimmigrant Arrival-Departure Record, with USCIS. USCIS does charge a fee for this service. Passport and Travel Document Numbers. Complete Part 4., Item Numbers 45. - 50., as applicable, if the beneficiary relative used a passport or travel document to travel to the United States, enter either the passport or travel document information in the appropriate space on the petition, even if the passport or travel document is currently expired.

Thanks allot,

Ilan

No.

 

You skipped over or did not pay attention to the sentence right after you answered "Was the beneficiary ever in the US".

 

Quote

If the beneficiary is currently in the United States, complete 
Items Numbers 46.a. - 46.d.

 

Key word is "currently".

Thanks for the response.

Q2:

page 5, Part 4:

Other address and contact information: Provide the address in the united states the beneficiary intends to live, if different from item numbers 11.a.-11.h.

We dont have any address yet where we intend to live since we just started the procces and both of us live toghter outside of the US.

Any suggestions?

Thanks again,

Ilan.
