Hi, 

 

Did anyone else get this error when they selected 'Parent' as beneficiariy while filing I-130 online? 
I got an error that "you may not be eligible o file for parent as you need to be a us citizen".

 

I am US citizen since 2023.

Anyone knows anything about this?

I agree with @Crazy Cat, it doesn't look like an error. I suspect it's a standard warning that everybody gets, just to tell LPR's that they cannot apply to petition a parent, and you can safely ignore it and carry on as you know you are eligible to do so.

Exactly.  There are similar cautions in the online N-400 application, too.

I believe so. I did continue applying and in the end it did say form has no error.

I thought about this too. And continued applying.

I had this paper form I-131. I filled out this part in Urdu (native language) with black pen and took picture and uploaded it.
