Hi guys, I am filing an I-130 for my spouse online. Do I need to scan every page of my passport to prove US citizenship or will the front page suffice? Same thing for her passport?

 

Also regarding the passport photo, I uploaded a front photo of us but it asks us to "sign the back". Do I just take a picture of the back and upload it in a PDF? Or will it need to be a certain size etc

 

Thank you!

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

If you are using your passport as your only evidence of US Citizenship, then upload all the pages.  

 

Instructions are to write full name, not "sign".  Interpret instructions literally.  No "in other words".  No need to deal with the back of the photo when filing online.  That's for filing by mail.

 

The foreign spouse's passport is not needed at the petition stage, unless  you're using it as evidence of time spent together in person.

Thank you @pushbrk, you and everyone have helped me almost finish my application with your guidance. I am a little confused about a specific section in I-130, my wife is a student and doesn't have any employment history. 

- Part 3 highlighed is confusing me - My wife is a student and has never worked. But it wants us to provide "this information??" in Part 7? 

- So far I have left Part 7 completely blank because I don't have any additional information to add. I planned to submit it that way.

- She is not signing because she doesn't live in US, but should she date in the space below the signature?

What did you enter "above" in her employment history?

I put "Unemployed"

I would enter instead "Student  Never Employed" and the Not Applicable is correct for the section you asked about.  No need to enter anything else.

Ok thank you, and to my understanding I am leaving Part 7 completely blank (Even the name) because I don't have any additional information?  If she is not signing the form, do you recommend putting a date below where her signature is supposed to be? 

 

After this, I think I will be done thanks to you!!
