Need help filling out the I-130

[daisylynn 0]

Please, someone help me! Or if there is some place that this has already been answered or something, direct me there. I'll read it and find out. I have looked and haven't found anything to answer these questions and I really need to get this fill out and sent off.

I'll rewrite my questions with numbers, in case it's just too confusing to read. Here they are...

1-If I made a mistake in the typing or handwriting (on this form or on the G325A), can I correct it in handwriting and initial or something or do I need to redo the whole form in typing and then print it back out?

2-#22 (I thought I understood this but after reading the printed version, I'm not so sure)...

It says,

'Complete the information below if your relative is in the US and will apply for adjustment of status.'

I put n/a. But then in the same area (still under #22) it reads,

'If your relative is not eligible for adjustment of status, he or she will apply for a visa abroad at the American consular post in:'

Do I fill that out or is that still only pertaining to him if he is in the US right now?

3-Can I staple the pages together in the forms I send out?

Thank you!

You can mix typing and handwriting. Its no big deal. When we turned in our initial form it looked completely mutilated with those little plus marks you mentioned. The good thing about DCF is that they are generally more flexible about mistakes and such as you hand it directly to them and they will tell you to correct things on the spot.

We just left 22 blank. Since your SO is applying in canada you could also put down that consular post.

a trick about the plus forms.. The forms at visa pro (i believe) have more typing room in the fields however, you will still get those plus marks on print out. To avoid this, fill out the form on the computer, then export the form to jpeg format, open it as a picture and print it out. there will be no plus marks and the form will look just as it did on the computer. I learned this after much trian and error then the consulate asked us to submit new versions of our g325a.

Also there are different formats of the forms here.

we stapled our forms. if they dont like that they will just unstaple it. many people put together a nice package of everything and the consulate just rips it all apart anyway so they really dont care about the aesthetics.

Good luck.
