Confused about petitioner/applicant terms on NVC state

[mico1989Athens 0]

Hello, we received welcome emails from NVC after i-130 approval notice.

I am US citizen wife. I was the petitioner on I-130. i know what these terms mean but i'm confused about nvc state.

 

for i-130, I (US citizen) am the petitioner and my husband (foreign citizen) is beneficiary.

however in the NVC email, it sounds like my husband is the petitioner now. 

This becomes confusing when we talk about required documents for petitioner vs applicant. 

 

can you please clarify these 3 points: 

1 - when we are on NVC website, is my husband(foreign citizen) petitioner?

2 - can i log in and fill the nvc website forms for my husband?

3 - in our case, who is "petitioner" , "applicant" , "beneficiary?

 

thank you again for this forum.

Your husband will be applying for a spousal visa so in effect becomes the visa applicant.  You are still the petitioner, but since the I130 has been approved, the process now moves to the beneficiary other than your requirement to provide the I864.  It can be a little confusing, but in the end it is your husband, the beneficiary that is applying for an immigration benefit through your petition.

 

I hope that helps a little.

 

Good Luck!

Absolutely correct, but note that it does not matter who continues to do the work or typing, or uploading.  What matters is the correct information is entered in the correct places, for the correct person.

 

The petitioner remains the petitioner but also becomes the sponsor.  The Beneficiary is now the visa applicant.  You as petitioner have not and will not "apply" for anything.
