BE CAREFUL GUYS! WHEN U FILL YOUR APPLICATION ONLY CHOOSE ONE BOX WHEN YOU SAY WHERE YOUR BENEFICIARY (ur SPOUSE, KIDS, PARENTS) ARE GOING TO GET INTERVIWED. DONT NOT LEAVE BOTH BOX EMPTY, DO NOT SELECT BOTH USA OR HOME COUNTRY . FILL ONLY ONE BOX (EITHER USA OR UR HOME COUNTRY OR WHEREVER THEY WILL INTERVIEW) . IF U MAKE THAT MISTAKE YOU LL HAVE TO WAIT 6 MNTHS TO A YEAR. I MADE THAT MISTAKE. IF U MAKE A MISTAKE U WILL HAVE TO FILL I 824 AND ISNT A GOOD WAIT. PLEASE PIN MY COMMENT SO EVERYONE CAN SEE THIS FIRST OR THEY MIGHT SUFFER LIKE ME.
I don’t see any mention about where to interview. I think it’s inferred that if the beneficiary is outside of the US then the interview has to be held where he/she resides.
It's on question 61 and 62. Buddy if we tell them they made a mistake and we did state we want consular processing outside US. Can they correct it so we don't have to pay that form 824 fee?
I am going to file marriage based greencard for my spouse who is residing outside of US abroad in Canada. Our home country is Nepal: about native written language is Nepali but we do use English. So we should include that information in that section ? Also, for section 62.a which country we should mention as he is living in canada right now in work permit since 3 years but we have citizenship from Nepal.
I'm self-preparing the I130 application for my wife, this video helped me correct several mistakes i made in the form, truely appreciate it, mailing out the paperwork tomorrow, hope everything goes well, thanks again
You are an angel, thank you so much for your time and effort in putting together these videos. They are utterly helpful and I am so grateful you are doing this for the rest of us.
You’re so amazing for taking the time to make these videos to help people navigate these complicated applications for immigration. God bless you! You’ve helped me a lot and I know I’m not alone.
thank you sooooo sososososoooo much!!! this was exactly what i needed to fill out the form. i was so stressed when i first looked through it, but this helped so much THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for this step-by-step video. I used your video to help me complete the form i-130. I just filed the i-130 online to the USCIS website. I was really intimidated by the form until I watched your video. Thank you for explaining it so well. 😊
For those of you wanting to speak to a live person at USCIS, try these keywords or otherwise you will just go in circles with the robot. Try saying UPDATE CONTACT INFORMATION. I have no idea why they make it so difficult because if you don't say the proper keywords, they robot will just say send you a link via email or text for more information. I hope this helps.
Thank you so much for your hard work! You really made it so much easy for me to complete it by myself. You've helped me a lot :) I wish you all the best
Hello Ksenia, this is the case: The husband submitted a Family Petition of a wife and stepdaughter together. The mother process was admitted, but USCIS did not send the I-797 Notice Action of Form I-130. The wife received the Forms I-797, Notice Action of I-485, and I-765. All the Forms of the stepdaughter were rejected. Now, he is worried about the answer to Form I-130, page 8. Part5. Item 1. Have ever previously filed a petition for this beneficiary or any other alien? The answer: Ye, because his wife I-130 was admitted, but he does not have the date filed due to USCIS did not send the Notice of Received. What can he do about this? Also, he has doubts about the question. "If you are also submitting separate petitions for other relatives, provide the names of and your relationship to each relative." Relative 1: Does he write down the name of the wife again?. So, the wife and daughter can have the process at the same time and on the same day as the interview? Thank you for your answer. Gladys
Super helpful, thank you so much for your videos! I was wondering what to put in page 5, part 4 under section 12.a if both the beneficiary and the petitioners are outside the US (applying via consular processing), and do not yet know where they'll live in the US? Do you recommend leaving this blank, or putting 'UNKNOWN'
I think they were updating their system around the April 25-30 timeframe because whenever I log in to update it would give the error: We were unable to retrieve your form. I tried using another browser and also creating a new account. I spent so many hours on this and now have to start all over. I even tweeted and tried calling USCIS but no help from them. Has anybody encountered the same issue? I do see now the online form has changed a little so they definitely were in the process of changing something.
Hello Kseniya, I'm wondering if you have a video explaining in more detail GC holders petitioning for their over 21 sons/daughters, my concern is if you have more than one son/daughter over 21 do you have to file separate I-130 petitions? and if they were under the age of 21 is there a difference? Also, is there a difference when petitioning through a consular process? Thank you so much!!
Thank you for detailed instructions! I have one question left however: How soon after my parent entered the US on tourist visa can I file I-130? If you have mentioned it in one of your videos, please provide a link. Thank you!
Is it okay to put unemployed for my current employment even though I do a few videography gigs once in a while that don’t pay me that much? Or is it best to just put self employed and estimate how much I would be making? Just wondering if this would negatively affect my application. Thank you for all your videos! Been helping so much!
Very helpful video. Thank you very much. I was wondering how do you type "N/A" in the form? When I type "/" this error occurs: "Enter alpha and numeric characters only."
Hi. Thanks for your effort to help. I am in the process to fill out Form I-130 for my step child and i need to know exactly what is the required documents and supporting documents. Thanks
Thanks so much! I see that using USCIS online we can apply for I-130, but not I-130A or DS-260. Any thoughts? so if we apply one and mail one who do they put them together?
Thank you for the video. I am preparing to file I-130 for my spouse. I m a full time student and work on campus hourly. My spouse also works at his school as on campus job. What we need to fill about employment status?
If the US Customs and Border Protection Officer tells us that we did not need to get an I-94 permit, I assume we leave that area blank? Referring to Part 4 46.b & 46.d. Should those areas be left blank or will we need to go back and see about receiving an I-94 permit? Thank you in advance for all your help and information!
Hi Kseniya, thank you for sharing this detailed video. However, I would like to ask you, if we need to get any of the forms notarized before mailing it to the USCIS ?
Thanks for your video. My spouse (petitioner) has 3 children from his previous marriage. Should he include information about his children in the section about the beneficiary's children?
Hi Kseniya, thank you so much for all useful information you are sharing!! We have one question - my husband is LPR holder. We are filing form I130 for myself, and wondering what to do for our baby? You mentioned if petitioner is LPR holder we don’t need separate i130, but child is only mentioned in beneficiary familly part and part 5, relative information. Not sure what is the right way to include her in the i130 file? Thank you again!
Hello Kseniya, You mentioned Jane Doe and Jane Smith. So DOE is her husband's last name, right? Must a wife take husband’s last name for approval of a marriage-based green card?
Im getting discouraged. my petition for my wife submitted in Jan 2024, time went down to 1 week, then jumped to 6 mos then up to 11 months, now up to 20 mos. Ive submitted everything they ask for. why the processing time keep jumping like that?
Hi! Adress Question: if the petitioner has had the same mailing and physical address for over 5 years, how should we complete the Address History part? Use Address History 1 and write date from and present? Thanks!
Hello Kseniya, thanks for the great video, so i have one question, since this form has to be signed by ink, does it mean that you can't submit I-130 online anymore? or just have to scan back and submit on USCIS website with other supporting documents. i reviewed your last year's video, that one you showed step by step online. thank you in advance.
Hello Kseniya, Great Video that really saves our life to complete the I-130 our own. Can I kindly ask a question regarding "Have you EVER previously filed for this beneficiary or any other alien"? Does this also include the I-140 (EB-1) and I-485 I filled with my EX wife along with the approval of I-140 (EB-1)? Thanks a lot!!
@@KseniyaInternational Thanks for your prompt reply! the petitioner and beneficiary on I-140 filled years ago is me. After the approval the I-140, I filled I-485 and my ex wife and I got the green card together with the approval of I-485.
I'm filing for my kids to get their residence in the U.S. Some of them are here with me, and a few are back home. I have grandkids; some are under 18 years old, and some live here in the U.S. Should I file Form I-130 for my each of my grandkids, too, because I want them to get their residence at the same time?
@KseniyaInternational Hi! How about in my situation we are going to file concurrently. My husband is the petitioner, and as what I've watched from your other video I can still use my husband last name even if it isn't listed on our marriage certificate or I didn't do a name change yet because my states doesn't allow it. So I'm about to do that to put my husband's last name on all of my forms, but what about in this form i-130 and i-130a should I still use my husband's last name or should I use my birth name?
Question about 59A. My fiancé is in the US on a tourist visa and has been living with me. We plan to get married April 2024 then file adjustment of status when we get the paperwork together. How do I answer this question? Should I put down the date she arrived on the visa? The date after our marriage? Or should I put down never lived together? Thanks!
I (the beneficiary) have an eb3 process going on but I’m opening a marriage based process. So in this case should I say yes to the question “has anyone else ever filled a petition for the beneficiary?”.
Im filing this form for my spouse ( cousin) should i check the spouse button in part 1? I sent the application and theu sajd " Your 1-130, fees, and any supporting documentation is being returned to you for the following reason(s): USCIS regulations at 8 C.F.R. 103.2(a)(1) require that forms be completed according to form instructions. You submitted a Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, indicating it was filed on behalf submitted indicates the existence of your spouse. However, the evidence you e of a parent child relationship between you and the beneficiary. You may correct the familial relationship you want to establish and resubmit the petition." Whay should i do. I gave them all proof
Good day. I’m a green card holder and I want to sponsor I-130 to my unmarried child. The question is, Do I have to fill the beneficiary sport with the information of my wife or not? That’s where am really confused
Hi! I just read that submitting a petition 90 before your entered in the is a red flag towards your green card application. Unfortunately we submitted form I-130 but we decided to wait until I have 90 days in the US. My question is because I have already submitted form I-130 will make things worse? Is it wise to wait before submitting form I-485 adjustment of status or should I just send them all? Any help is much appreciated
I carefully followed this instructions and my petition got rejected because of incorrectly filling out, and I 'm pretty sure whoever follows these instructions their petitions is rejected right away. she provides totally wrong instructions, I wish she stops posting such miss leading instructions.
Thank you for this very helpful video. I have a question regarding the filling of the petition separately for spouse and a child. Does it mean that, there should be a separate filling fee, too? Thank you very much.
HI Kseniya, In the part where I need to write the information in a foreign language, I am trying to type it with my keyboard but the PDF Acrobat doesn't let me type anything other than English. Can I print it out and then write with hand/black inc just in this part? is it a problem if I type with keayboard the rest of the form and just a specific part is handwritten?
Hi! Thank you for providing such helpful information. I have a question about the Address History part of the form. If I lived in my current address in the USA my whole life except for 2017-2018, do I fill out 10a-10i with that address, leave 12a-13b blank and than put the address I lived in during 2017-2018 in 14a-15b?
Hello, I had a quick question: If I am currently self-employed (I own an LLC), should I put "self-employed" as my employer, or just put the name of my company as the employer? Thank you for your time.
Thank you for the video. I have a question. I am a US citizen who has been living in Colombia for 4 years. My wife is a Colombian citizen. If we don't plan to move to the US in the near future, can I still petition for her? If so, how would I complete the section that asks for the address in the US where the beneficiary intends to live?
Hello Kseniya, I am about to prepare the i130 for my wife and stepdaughter. They have never entered the U.S before, so how much harder is that going to be? Is there anything different that i have to do compare to someone who is in the U.S. Thank you in advance.
I’m applying for my husband with no previous marriages and we have 2 kids together, do I put our kids’ names For the beneficiary’s kids? Thank you for your videos ❤
How to answer part 1. Relationship. Does he have to answer spouse and child in question number 1? if my husband would like to petition me and our child?
Is it true that my physical address for the last 5 years need to be the address used for filing my taxes and my paychecks? Or that it has to match my drivers licence?
If the beneficiary lives in the United States, and their name is not in an English script, do they need to fill out an overseas address overseas under Part 4, 13 a-f and 57 a-f? Or should they only fill their name out under 57a-c and write N/A for the addresses?
Thanks a lot Kseniya! you are amazing! I have a question, if during my J1 visa I travelled outside USA. Which date as the last arrival to USA should I put. The most recent or the date that I entered the USA to start my j1 visa? thanks in advance
I have a question about Part.4 Beneficiary's Entry Information: When I entry USA I used my old passport that were expired after entry for a few year and now I've got a new one. The question is...should I fill in Passport Number that I use for entry the USA or the new one that never been using to travel?
If the Alien is coming from Latin America where it is common to use 2 last names, is it advisable to also complete the parents last name with BOTH of their last names??
My brother applied to USa from india, through my mom and dad's GREEN CARD, now he got the interview where he got rejected saying your mom and dad are citizens, no more green card. You have to re apply, but this is not fair for my brother, he waited more than ... years and now he got denied for this this reason.
Thanks so much for this detailed video! Question: if I’m petitioning for my child who have never entered the US, do I need to fill out question 47 that asked for the passport number
12:57 @KseniyaInternational My Chinese husband (beneficary) lives with me (sponsor) at our home address. However, how do I answer part 4 item numbers 57 & 58? He lives within the USA, but his birth certificate reflects Chinese characters and Roman characters. His US driver's license name has Roman letters. Should i just include his Chinese name presented in his native language? OR, is this only for beneficiaries residing outside of the USA?
i have filed i130 for my wife, when i had checked the status , it had said 5 months for a decision, then few days ago it said 4 months for a decision, and now its back to 5 months, would you know why it would say that?
Kseniya, if my husband, who is suppose to fill out the I130 doesn't speak fluent English although he is US citizen, was helped by me (his wife) to fill it out, the form, should I add myself as the person who translated?
Hello. I have a question hope you can help me. In beneficiary entry information if my spouse ever was admitted tu usa but live here do I need to fill out or can leave on blank- N/A
You are awesome! Thank you very much for your help. I have a question on Part 4, Item No. 29a - Time stamp: 17:10 I am filing a petition for my brother who is currently outside of the US. He has 3 children under the age of 20 years. Do I have to file a separate petition (I-130) for his spouse and 3 children?
You do not, however the entire sibling case takes more than 15 years, so by the time they can apply for a green card, the children will already age out.

Hello Ksenia, this is the case: The husband submitted a Family Petition of a wife and stepdaughter together. The mother process was admitted, but USCIS did not send the I-797 Notice Action of Form I-130. The wife received the Forms I-797, Notice Action of I-485, and I-765.
All the Forms of the stepdaughter were rejected.
Now, he is worried about the answer to Form I-130, page 8. Part5. Item 1. Have ever previously filed a petition for this beneficiary or any other alien? The answer: Ye, because his wife I-130 was admitted, but he does not have the date filed due to USCIS did not send the Notice of Received.
What can he do about this?
Also, he has doubts about the question. "If you are also submitting separate petitions for other relatives, provide the names of and your relationship to each relative."
Relative 1: Does he write down the name of the wife again?. So, the wife and daughter can have the process at the same time and on the same day as the interview?
Thank you for your answer.
Gladys
Rejected does not mean the same thing as denied. If the forms were rejected and asked to resubmit treat it as if they’ve never been submitted.
God bless you tremendously.
What if you're filing your I-130 online when it comes to signing do you still have to print and sign then upload it back to USCIS online?

@KseniyaInternational Hi! How about in my situation we are going to file concurrently. My husband is the petitioner, and as what I've watched from your other video I can still use my husband last name even if it isn't listed on our marriage certificate or I didn't do a name change yet because my states doesn't allow it. So I'm about to do that to put my husband's last name on all of my forms, but what about in this form i-130 and i-130a should I still use my husband's last name or should I use my birth name?
Is the parents birth certificate required on the 130 or 485 forms? My daughter is the petitioner, she is turning 21 in 12/24
Question about 59A. My fiancé is in the US on a tourist visa and has been living with me. We plan to get married April 2024 then file adjustment of status when we get the paperwork together. How do I answer this question? Should I put down the date she arrived on the visa? The date after our marriage? Or should I put down never lived together? Thanks!
I (the beneficiary) have an eb3 process going on but I’m opening a marriage based process. So in this case should I say yes to the question “has anyone else ever filled a petition for the beneficiary?”.
Im filing this form for my spouse ( cousin) should i check the spouse button in part 1? I sent the application and theu sajd " Your 1-130, fees, and any supporting documentation is being returned to you for the following reason(s):
USCIS regulations at 8 C.F.R. 103.2(a)(1) require that forms be completed according to form instructions. You submitted a Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, indicating it was filed on behalf submitted indicates the existence of your spouse. However, the evidence you e of a parent child relationship between you and the beneficiary. You may correct the familial relationship you want to establish and resubmit the petition." Whay should i do. I gave them all proof
Good day. I’m a green card holder and I want to sponsor I-130 to my unmarried child. The question is, Do I have to fill the beneficiary sport with the information of my wife or not? That’s where am really confused
my husband divorce was signed less than a year ago (cause of judge delayed) do I need to provide further explanation in the additional information?
Hi! I just read that submitting a petition 90 before your entered in the is a red flag towards your green card application. Unfortunately we submitted form I-130 but we decided to wait until I have 90 days in the US. My question is because I have already submitted form I-130 will make things worse? Is it wise to wait before submitting form I-485 adjustment of status or should I just send them all?
Any help is much appreciated
I carefully followed this instructions and my petition got rejected because of incorrectly filling out, and I 'm pretty sure whoever follows these instructions their petitions is rejected right away. she provides totally wrong instructions, I wish she stops posting such miss leading instructions.
If you have approached this in a nicer way, maybe I could have helped you figure out what was wrong with your application. Best of luck 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for this very helpful video. I have a question regarding the filling of the petition separately for spouse and a child. Does it mean that, there should be a separate filling fee, too? Thank you very much.
HI Kseniya, In the part where I need to write the information in a foreign language, I am trying to type it with my keyboard but the PDF Acrobat doesn't let me type anything other than English. Can I print it out and then write with hand/black inc just in this part? is it a problem if I type with keayboard the rest of the form and just a specific part is handwritten?
Hi! Thank you for providing such helpful information. I have a question about the Address History part of the form. If I lived in my current address in the USA my whole life except for 2017-2018, do I fill out 10a-10i with that address, leave 12a-13b blank and than put the address I lived in during 2017-2018 in 14a-15b?
Hello, I had a quick question: If I am currently self-employed (I own an LLC), should I put "self-employed" as my employer, or just put the name of my company as the employer? Thank you for your time.
Hi Kseniya! How soon I can apply for I-130 for my mother who just arrived in the USA as a tourist visa? I believe she arrived on Sept 23.
Part 1. Question 2.
I am filling this out for a parent, so why does question 2 only give answers for children?
Thank you for the video. I have a question. I am a US citizen who has been living in Colombia for 4 years. My wife is a Colombian citizen. If we don't plan to move to the US in the near future, can I still petition for her? If so, how would I complete the section that asks for the address in the US where the beneficiary intends to live?
Hello Kseniya, I am about to prepare the i130 for my wife and stepdaughter. They have never entered the U.S before, so how much harder is that going to be? Is there anything different that i have to do compare to someone who is in the U.S. Thank you in advance.
I’m applying for my husband with no previous marriages and we have 2 kids together, do I put our kids’ names For the beneficiary’s kids? Thank you for your videos ❤
Is this form identical to the one that can be filed online on the USCIS website? Does it matter which one you use? Thanks in advanced
How to answer part 1. Relationship. Does he have to answer spouse and child in question number 1? if my husband would like to petition me and our child?
Should we put “step child” if my wife had kids with her previous marriage?
Is it true that my physical address for the last 5 years need to be the address used for filing my taxes and my paychecks?
Or that it has to match my drivers licence?
If the beneficiary lives in the United States, and their name is not in an English script, do they need to fill out an overseas address overseas under Part 4, 13 a-f and 57 a-f? Or should they only fill their name out under 57a-c and write N/A for the addresses?

My brother applied to USa from india, through my mom and dad's GREEN CARD, now he got the interview where he got rejected saying your mom and dad are citizens, no more green card. You have to re apply, but this is not fair for my brother, he waited more than ... years and now he got denied for this this reason.
In interviews they just ask is your parents citizen and reject him and now we don’t know what’s the next step
Thanks so much for this detailed video! Question: if I’m petitioning for my child who have never entered the US, do I need to fill out question 47 that asked for the passport number

12:57 @KseniyaInternational My Chinese husband (beneficary) lives with me (sponsor) at our home address. However, how do I answer part 4 item numbers 57 & 58? He lives within the USA, but his birth certificate reflects Chinese characters and Roman characters. His US driver's license name has Roman letters. Should i just include his Chinese name presented in his native language? OR, is this only for beneficiaries residing outside of the USA?
i have filed i130 for my wife, when i had checked the status , it had said 5 months for a decision, then few days ago it said 4 months for a decision, and now its back to 5 months, would you know why it would say that?
Is I130a in that application also or I have to download it and fill it out?
Did you find out? 😀
Kseniya, if my husband, who is suppose to fill out the I130 doesn't speak fluent English although he is US citizen, was helped by me (his wife) to fill it out, the form, should I add myself as the person who translated?
Hello. I have a question hope you can help me.
In beneficiary entry information if my spouse ever was admitted tu usa but live here do I need to fill out or can leave on blank- N/A
I have a question, if you over stay your visa, would you expired passport info on the i130 or current passport info on page 7?
You are awesome! Thank you very much for your help. I have a question on Part 4, Item No. 29a - Time stamp: 17:10
I am filing a petition for my brother who is currently outside of the US. He has 3 children under the age of 20 years. Do I have to file a separate petition (I-130) for his spouse and 3 children?
You do not, however the entire sibling case takes more than 15 years, so by the time they can apply for a green card, the children will already age out.
Thank you@@KseniyaInternational
I petitioned my mom I-130 on April 2023 and didn’t write my last 5 years physical asdresses on the form. How can I include that info on the form ?
