Questions regarding form I-130 (for alien mother)

[bzabelina 2]

Hello, my husband was naturalized a few years ago and now we are starting form 1-130 to bring his mother over to the States from Russia. I just have a few questions regarding this form that I wasn't able to find exact answers to in the instructions so I was hoping to get some opinions. Thanks in advance! 

1. Alien Registration Number - Since my husband is now a citizen, was naturalized in 2019, I was assuming we no longer have to enter an A- Number and we should enter "none" for that field. Is that correct or should we throw in the old Alien number he has associated with himself back in the day? 

2. Can you leave field blank if they don't pertain to you, or do you absolutely need to enter write N/A? The reason I'm asking is because the instructions mention saying "N/A" but on the actual form sometimes they say "leave blank". 

3. When asked to provide information about the beneficiary's (my husband's mother) children, do we need to list my husband again even though he's the petitioner and it should be evident that he is her child? (Page 6, Part 4). 

4. The supporting documentation we have per the info from USCIS regarding this petition is my husband's birth cert and his naturalization cert. In your experience, should this be enough, or is more documentation or "proof" needed? 

 

Thanks again for your help!

He should enter his previously issued A number 

Follow the-instructions .. if it says “ leave blank”  … and it applies to you .. then do so. Elsewhere  use N/A or NONE. 

Follow the form and instructions. Despite our thoughts , they aren't intentionally planning to confuse you. Birth certificate shows familial relationship, US passport  or naturalization certificate shows citizenship

Thank you so much - that all makes sense.
