Amazingly informative information. I saw a video explaining that it's best to put the last name in uppercase letters, and the first name in lowercase letters, what is the correct way?
Lol hey I have a another question so after I get the married licenses who should keep it me or my wife we got married in the Philippines or can they make two real marriage licenses for I have mine and she has her thanks
I know it cost time money and effort to create these. I think the least we all can do is click on the ads that are featured in your videos. Thank you for providing these free videos!
Thanks! Very helpful. I saw in another person's video, that for those filing online from abroad that they may file their i-130a in the form of an attachment (pdf) to the i-130. Thanks again!!!!
This is the best set of instructions I have come across. I think you forgot to mention for every last page extra information entered the person has to sign the page? I came across that on the USCIS website. where you enter the extra addresses, husband and wives, jobs 😁
at 3:42 you're giving a wrong information. if you answered "NO" in item 11 (meaning your physical address is NOT the same as your physical address), then you DO need to fill up Item 12a to 13b. Otherwise, if you answered YES, you do NOT need to fill up any of those items, including 13a and 13b. The part about 13a and 13b is confusing though, as USCIS form i-130 doesn't say anything about it in case you answered YES at item 11. It would make sense they asked you to fill them up, but they seem to ask you fill those 2 items only if you answered NO for item 11...
You completely missed the part of where they ask at which office will the beneficiary apply if they are applying for adjustment of status. This doesn't make sense to me as you have to apply though mail at one particular office. Please add these instructions...
This video is well explained. I started filling out the form while watching the video, but I have a question, my husband is a citizen and I am the one who is filling out the form. My question is if I have the tax ID, should I place it in social security? Thanks
Thank you! However, You miss the explanation on part 4, question number 24. As some people maybe confused on when married ended question. Whether is the date filed for divorce or when divorce granted
I am filing the I-130 online and where it asks "Where did you and your spouse last live together?" we live together abroad in Colombia. I put the current address we are at, but it said I shouldnt leave the "to date" blank...the grammar of the question is all in the past. So we shouldnt put our previous address we lived at? Also, it seems to me that the form itself is corrupted. I review the entire form every time I open it and on my current mailing address it has now twice removed the country. Further, it has also removed my wife's country of address outside of the US twice now as well. Seems to me that UCSIC purposely tries to create problems with this form to slow or deny proposals? That is very disturbing to me.
Great Video! If the beneficiary is currently on an H1b, but ORIGINALLY arrived 8 years ago on an F-1 as a student, What I-94 number and status is recorded on the I-130? The most recent? or the very first one? (The first I-94 would be difficult to find). My thoughts were to put the most recent, then in additional information mention that initial arrival was F-1.
Quick Question on Benficiary's Entry Information Question 45 Beneficiary EVER in US is YES but it was in MAY 2010 for short visit. When they ask Passport number on Question 47. Do I put Old passport number that entered to US on MAY 2010 or New Passport number which she just received? FYI: Beneficiary currently live in HONGKONG.
FYI if you file for your spouse and they have overstayed their visa. And you divorce and cancel paperwork before your interview. Your immigrate spouse will automatically be entered into deportation proceedings within 30 days. This just happened to my husband while we are divorcing. We filed August 2018.
I am a US citizen. I have currently been in JORDAN for 4 years for studies and I finish in 1 year. I plan on petitioning for my wife here in Jordan. I currently don't have an address in the us as Ive been living in Jordan for 4 years now . What do I write in the expected address part of the form
Awesome video, I subscribed and notifications are on! Have a question though and I cant find any info online. My sister´s husband is a retired US citizen and she is a housewife. They live abroad (Brazil) and they have established residence there. He doesnt have any address in the US because he went to retire abroad. This form can be filled out by them?
Jacob, what's the update with the backlog applications? I have filed I-130 and it's been almost a year! Being actively reviewed is what I see everytine I check the status.
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'm following through with the video and you say that on number 11 if you have a physical address that's DIFFERENT from your mailing address you should click YES. But the question there is the opposite. It says "Is your current mailing address the SAME as your physical address?". So, I believe there was some confusion when you were explaining there, correct?
Thanks for such a detailed guidance. You videos are extremely helpful. Just one quick question , in many instances you suggest to leave the space blank when the situation don’t apply to us. Do you advise to write N/A as opposed to just leave it blank ? The system won’t allow me to type n/a in those cases and would really would like to know if it is wise to write it with my own hand. Thank !!
Thank you for your video. I have a question regarding question (45) “Was the beneficiary EVER in the United States”. My mom has been to the US twice in the past under tourist visa and she never overstayed. She is in my home country now, so she IS NOT in the US right now when I’m filling out the form. Do I answer YES or No to question (45)?
@Law Offices of Jacob J. Sapochnick Please advice??? I have the same question but my mother had a 20 year bar and she already completed 13 years in MX. She has not entered the US since.
I have a question. Is there a form other than an I-130 that you can use to have parents be able to come and go into the USA to visit? Which visa would it be? My spouse is a citizen however his parents are over 60 and would have no intentions of moving or living in the USA. That is why we are exploring other options besides the i130 for the whole 6 month rule that they have for green card holders. Thank you!
Hello! please, can you help me to answer part 4 : the beneficiary will not apply for adjustment of status in the United States, but he or she will apply for an immigrant visa abroad at the U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulated in 62.a, 62.b and 62.c
I already submitted for my family in last year nov 2019, so my question is how much time it will take for the next step and what would that b ? Online status is fee waived ??? Its i 730 application ???
I am a US citizen, and I have been living in Colombia for 4 years. My wife is a Colombian citizen. Can I petition for her even though we don't plan on moving to the US in the near future? How would I complete the section that asks for the address in the US where the beneficiary intends to live? Thanks for the help.
Good morning, on form I-130, Part 4, on the statement before 62.a, where it says “The beneficiary will not apply for adjustment of status in the United States, but he or she will apply for an immigrant visa abroad at the US Embassy or US consulate” does that mean applying for a different visa or it’s just how they call it to the green card or permanent residence?
Can you please do another video regarding i-130 and i-130a for family member abroad and petitioner in the US? I would like to bring my children and spouse.
Great video! in minute 18:20 you mention we have to choose an office. If I am in Indiana, should I choose Indianapolis? or should I choose a process center? or the Chicago office? I am confused.
My TN visa expired and so my authorized date in the I-94 but before they expired my company applied for an extension of status. So now I have a new date for authorized stay in the country. Should I put that date as my authorized date? In the question that asks when will my I-94 date will expire. Does this new date count as D/S Duration of Status?
I am currently a U.S Naturalized Citizen and would like to patition for my Mom and a sister who is now married with three kids all under 21! All advices are welcome!
Hi: I'm in the process to apply for my Mother with form i-130 and i-485 concurrent filing. She currently has B1/B2 Visit visa and she came to visit me here now in the USA. So I just applied for her i-130 online last week and I'm preparing her i-485 documents to mail this week. But for some personal reason my Mother needs to go back to her home country for a few months. So my question is: 1. What will happen to her i-130 application I just did online and what other consequences will happen if she goes back now and comes back after a few months? 2. Will she have any issue re-enter in the USA after a few months since I have applied for her i-130? 3. Should I wait to file i-485 until she comes back to the USA? Your help will be highly appreciated.
Jacob, I filed for my wife. I included my step son ,12yrs. old, on the form. Now I'm told I need a separate I130 for him. Can you do a video on step children. I am confused on how to just fill it out for him. Thank you.
Should I leave the questions that are non-applicable to me unanswered or should I answer with "None" ... "N/A". I'm asking this because the I-130 instruction I downloaded from the official website says I need to answer those questions but everyone on TH-cam is leaving them empty.
For this form i130, under part 4. "Information About Beneficiary's Family Person 1 25.a. ~ 28." (Roughly around the 14:00 minute mark in this video) Should the Person 1 name be the beneficiary? Or should it be the petitioner? -- In the case where the petitioner (male u.s. citizen) is married to the beneficiary (female non citizen)?
Exactly my question! Beneficiary s Family person 1 is the petitioner!! (this form is for more than one type of relative/beneficiary, but in case of Spouse it’s the petitioner)
The i-130 form that's provided online has an expiration date of 7/31/2018. How would we go about getting a recent form? Thanks in advance for your response.
Thanks for the video! Q for part 5 other information, 1-5. The previous I-130 was filed to the Texas service center, and was then transferred to local uscis field office in NYC which is where the decision was issued for the petition. Do I put Texas or NYC? Thank you!
I have a question... I am a US citizen, and I would like to file a petition for my mother who is currently in the US since 03/01/2020. She overstayed in the USA for several months since last year. What is my first step? Should I complete the I-130 along with the I-485? And should I send in an affidavit? I'm not sure where to start.
Quick Question not sure if you can answer! I have not changed my last name through the DMV or on any legal papers, except when I got married at Court, The paper asked "New last name." Which of course I put down my NOW husbands whom is petition me. When filing to USCIS, can I still use my Surname? since I have not changed it on any legal IDs? or Do I use my new Maiden Name but only proof I have is my Marriage license.
Hello! Thank you so much for this video, it’s incredibly helpful. I’m filing for my spouse who is in Morocco. When I get to the question regarding immigration proceedings, I don’t know how to answer it. He was previously deported from Germany back to Morocco but was never in the US. When I answer yes online, it doesn’t allow me to choose a country and I am only allowed to pick City/State in the US. Is this question US specific? Thank you so much for your help. 🙏🏻
I hope you answer! 🤞 I came here illegal at a young age. I got married to a us citizen. Now that I'm trying to apply I'm having a hard time with class of admission and departure record. I'm currently under Military parole in place. Should I go of that? I also don't have a passport. Should I get one?
Hi, I am filing my I 765 form with my adjustment of status. I am on a K1 visa. My Question is I got my EAD card in 2015 as an F1 student visa for my OPT. Which was expired in 2017 so now should I apply for I 765 initial permission or renewal of permission? Sorry, this video is on a different topic but can't find the answer to this anywhere. Hope you don't mind. Thank you
Hi Jacob, quick question in case of a US Citizen he is 35 years old, is filing a I130 for his father outside the US. He has to put himself in the part of beneficiary family? His father is married for second time. My have a doubt because the form says children and that makes me think it has to be children under 18. I appreciate your response.
Hello! Do I have to attach all the supporting documentation for i-130 at the same time as I am filling it out or USCIS will ask for what they need at some point later? What are the exact documents (if any) do I need to attach to i-130 at the time of submission? There is a lot of confusing information about this topic online. Thank you!
hey there . please i need some advice and help from people who went thru all these things . am US citized and my wife is from middle east . we cant find out how to be with all documents and no we dont have a lawyer .
If the petitioner filed all the I-130 and also now he is filing the I-130A for his spouse that is overseas, the petitioner has to put all his information as an interpreter and Preparer's in part 5,6. Also in the part 4 which box has to be select? (1a, 1b, 2). Thanks.

Question 47, Beneficiary has never been to U.S. and doesn’t yet have an issued passport. Does he need to have one before I (Petitioner) submit I-130?Or does the passport # apply only if spouse has entered the U.S.?
Hi. I submited the form I-130 on May this year for my mom, I am a US citizen and she is here on her B1/B2 visa.I am wondering if it will be a good idea for her to go bak before I submit the form I-485 since she has to take care of her pension and her mocular degeneration treatment. I know she won't be able to go back once I submit the AOS and processing times are taking very long these days. I haven't receive anything about the petition just the receipt notice and that's it. What do you recomend? Do you do phone consultations?
Hi, thank you for this helpful video! If we are using an address in the US do we still need to fill out the province or postal code? Is it the same a state and zip code?
Do I need to list myself as preparer and interpreter(Part 5, 6) on a I130A form for my Spouse That is overseas? I filed all the form I-130. Also part 4. should I mark which box 1a? 1b? 2? inside the box? this is so confuse. Thanks

Hi there ! I have a question about my spouse employment....he didn't come w a work visa etc.... but does work...I guess not considered legal.... how do I place this on the forms?
If I want to claim my daughter, who's married and has a daughter, what should I do? How should I fill out a I130 for each of them? Or should I only fill out one I130 and include all of them in it? Btw, I am a citizen.
Hi Jacob! LOVE this video! It was so so helpful! I have a few questions regarding the beneficiary section. Q10 asks has anyone filed a petition for the beneficiary, and I'm not sure if that's just in regards to the I130 or for other visas and paperwork in the US? Q46a. Would that be the very FIRST class of admission you arrived on (I've been here for 10 years and changed status from F1 to O1 Q46c. Would this be the very first day of first arrival? Q48. Is travel document number the same thing as passport number or the number on the O1? I've been searching everywhere for these answers! Your help would be sincerely appreciated! Thank you!
The question has the beneficiary EVER been in the US is kinda unclear. I’m filing for spouse but he is not in the US currently but he has come to visit me with a tourist visa, do I still answer yes?
Question- My husband who is the one petitioning grew up with only his mother. On the birth certificate she is the only one on it. However, the father is alive, but not on records. Do you just leave Fathers information blank? or can you add his stepfather information because thats who he calls "Dad." and the one that also signed on our marriage certificate.
Hi i would like to ask regarding the form l-130 that im filling to USCIS they said that we will expect response on the date they give but suddenly it dont come , , why is that?
Hellow I'm going to petition for my spouse and this was helpful but can I just ask because the lady said on the 59a she said to put down petitions address but what if me and spouse lived abroad? Do I still put my address now or do I put my spouses address abroad? Can yous do a video for filing i130 form for ir2 visa for children under 14 years? Please but if not it's ok this video really helped me out with filling i130 thank you☺️
Just incase one makes a mistake what happens? The question about where the application of change of status will be applied ( part 4, question 61a and b) We wrote the address that we sent the package to rather than our city and state. We had it as our city and state then changed it after not being sure. What will happen to the application after? please let me know if you have any idea. We sent the packet with 485, 765 and 131 together. Thank you in advance.

Hello, I am an American citizen, 30 yrs old, currently residing in USA. I want to apply green card for my parents and one married sister and her husband by filling out i-130 form online. So, my question is do i have to submit one application for my mom, one for my dad, one application for my sister and one for my sisters husband?

Hi, i've already filled out the I-130 petition for my wife to come to the US. We are now waiting in the pending approval status. Would it be a good idea to fill out the Visit Visa form for her to come and visit me in the US, while we are waiting for the I-130 to process? Thank you in advance!!
The last time my wife was in the U.S she was 6 years old. Her and her family had "BORDER CROSSING" cards. Their cards expired and never came back to the U.S. Luckily her mom still has that card. Would that go anywhere in section PART 4. 45-52? Im confused wether any info an her crossing card would go in this section.
I made a mistake on Part 5 of the app (other beneficiary). I filed a petition for my son and my daughter. I put in the relationship, how are you related to the beneficiary, I put child instead of parent. Do I need to contact uscis to correct that information?
Please I have petitioned for a relative before but I do not remember the day .I only remember the year and month i petitioned .is it okay to put the month and the year? Im talking about Part 5#4.
Part 5 - what if you applied for a K1 visa over 15 years ago. It asks for the filing place and date. Is it where you were living and therefore mailed it from? And as for the date, what if you can't remember?
I need help I’m filing an I-130 for my husbands dad and sister and I’m at Part 4 number 12a -12d. It wants to know where they intend to live in the USA. They will live with us but the issue is where we live now is a 1bd and we will need to move to a bigger place before they come so our address now would not work. Can I just put N/A??
Regarding Form I-130, Beneficiary's Entry Information, 45 and 47, 48, 49 50: Im I-130 petitioner. 45: My spouse were in US : yes. My question is about point 47 to 50. Should I provide previous travel passport no in 47? Should I provide previous visa no in 48? Should I provide previous passport issue country nad previous passport Expiration date? Or I need to provide current passport no and other information from current passport only. Kindly clarify.
Hi there, thank you for this wonderful video! Definitely helpful. A general question I’ve been trying to seek for a reliable answer for a long time, hoping you could help. For form I130: petitioner is petitioning for parents and parents have a dependent child under 21 years old. Must the dependent child under 21 have a separate i130 application form OR should the child be listed as a dependent under the parent’s application without filling a separate application for the child? Thank you so much.

I am a US citizen, and I have been living in Colombia for 4 years. My wife is a Colombian citizen. Can I petition for her even though we don't plan on moving to the US in the near future? How would I complete the section that asks for the address in the US where the beneficiary intends to live? Thanks for the help.
How long did it take to petition for a sibling?
Should I leave all the blank spaces in white or should I write N/A? I read in the instructions of the forms that I should write N/A.
It is at your discretion Gabriel.
I read up the instruction it said put N/A or NONE
Good morning, on form I-130, Part 4, on the statement before 62.a, where it says “The beneficiary will not apply for adjustment of status in the United States, but he or she will apply for an immigrant visa abroad at the US Embassy or US consulate” does that mean applying for a different visa or it’s just how they call it to the green card or permanent residence?
Can you please do another video regarding i-130 and i-130a for family member abroad and petitioner in the US? I would like to bring my children and spouse.
Great video! in minute 18:20 you mention we have to choose an office. If I am in Indiana, should I choose Indianapolis? or should I choose a process center? or the Chicago office? I am confused.
My TN visa expired and so my authorized date in the I-94 but before they expired my company applied for an extension of status. So now I have a new date for authorized stay in the country. Should I put that date as my authorized date? In the question that asks when will my I-94 date will expire. Does this new date count as D/S Duration of Status?
I am currently a U.S Naturalized Citizen and would like to patition for my Mom and a sister who is now married with three kids all under 21! All advices are welcome!
Hi: I'm in the process to apply for my Mother with form i-130 and i-485 concurrent filing. She currently has B1/B2 Visit visa and she came to visit me here now in the USA. So I just applied for her i-130 online last week and I'm preparing her i-485 documents to mail this week. But for some personal reason my Mother needs to go back to her home country for a few months.
So my question is:
1. What will happen to her i-130 application I just did online and what other consequences will happen if she goes back now and comes back after a few months?
2. Will she have any issue re-enter in the USA after a few months since I have applied for her i-130?
3. Should I wait to file i-485 until she comes back to the USA?
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Jacob, I filed for my wife. I included my step son ,12yrs. old, on the form. Now I'm told I need a separate I130 for him. Can you do a video on step children. I am confused on how to just fill it out for him. Thank you.
Should I leave the questions that are non-applicable to me unanswered or should I answer with "None" ... "N/A".
I'm asking this because the I-130 instruction I downloaded from the official website says I need to answer those questions but everyone on TH-cam is leaving them empty.
For this form i130, under part 4. "Information About Beneficiary's Family
Person 1
25.a. ~ 28." (Roughly around the 14:00 minute mark in this video)
Should the Person 1 name be the beneficiary? Or should it be the petitioner? -- In the case where the petitioner (male u.s. citizen) is married to the beneficiary (female non citizen)?
Exactly my question! Beneficiary s Family person 1 is the petitioner!! (this form is for more than one type of relative/beneficiary, but in case of Spouse it’s the petitioner)
very helpfull guide, thank you
The i-130 form that's provided online has an expiration date of 7/31/2018. How would we go about getting a recent form? Thanks in advance for your response.
You may want to upload the most recent form from USCIS website.
Hello thanks for this video it's really helped me out please what documents are we filling out for immigration for my spouse?
Thanks for the video! Q for part 5 other information, 1-5. The previous I-130 was filed to the Texas service center, and was then transferred to local uscis field office in NYC which is where the decision was issued for the petition. Do I put Texas or NYC? Thank you!
I am so grateful, this is so helpful
THANK YOU...super helpful
Thank you I was becoming stuck at the married question and address
Thanks 😊
I have a question...
I am a US citizen, and I would like to file a petition for my mother who is currently in the US since 03/01/2020. She overstayed in the USA for several months since last year. What is my first step? Should I complete the I-130 along with the I-485? And should I send in an affidavit? I'm not sure where to start.
Quick Question not sure if you can answer! I have not changed my last name through the DMV or on any legal papers, except when I got married at Court, The paper asked "New last name." Which of course I put down my NOW husbands whom is petition me. When filing to USCIS, can I still use my Surname? since I have not changed it on any legal IDs? or Do I use my new Maiden Name but only proof I have is my Marriage license.
You can use it. There is a way to list other names used and that’s where you will include it
For Part 4, Item 13.a if I'm already in the US do I still put the address where I used to live in my home country, or should I leave it blank?
Hello! Thank you so much for this video, it’s incredibly helpful. I’m filing for my spouse who is in Morocco. When I get to the question regarding immigration proceedings, I don’t know how to answer it. He was previously deported from Germany back to Morocco but was never in the US. When I answer yes online, it doesn’t allow me to choose a country and I am only allowed to pick City/State in the US. Is this question US specific? Thank you so much for your help. 🙏🏻
I hope you answer! 🤞 I came here illegal at a young age. I got married to a us citizen. Now that I'm trying to apply I'm having a hard time with class of admission and departure record. I'm currently under Military parole in place. Should I go of that? I also don't have a passport. Should I get one?
Hi, I am filing my I 765 form with my adjustment of status. I am on a K1 visa. My Question is I got my EAD card in 2015 as an F1 student visa for my OPT. Which was expired in 2017 so now should I apply for I 765 initial permission or renewal of permission? Sorry, this video is on a different topic but can't find the answer to this anywhere. Hope you don't mind. Thank you
Thanks for what you do for us. I'm done with both Form I-485 and I-130. Do I need another form for her to receive a SS#? Thanks
Hi Jacob, quick question in case of a US Citizen he is 35 years old, is filing a I130 for his father outside the US. He has to put himself in the part of beneficiary family? His father is married for second time. My have a doubt because the form says children and that makes me think it has to be children under 18. I appreciate your response.
Hello, thanks or your support, i need some help at filling the additional information about employment, could you please give me an example? thank you
Hello! Do I have to attach all the supporting documentation for i-130 at the same time as I am filling it out or USCIS will ask for what they need at some point later? What are the exact documents (if any) do I need to attach to i-130 at the time of submission? There is a lot of confusing information about this topic online. Thank you!
No need I usually tell my clients to bring it to the interview
hey there . please i need some advice and help from people who went thru all these things . am US citized and my wife is from middle east . we cant find out how to be with all documents and no we dont have a lawyer .
If the petitioner filed all the I-130 and also now he is filing the I-130A for his spouse that is overseas, the petitioner has to put all his information as an interpreter and Preparer's in part 5,6. Also in the part 4 which box has to be select? (1a, 1b, 2). Thanks.

Question 47, Beneficiary has never been to U.S. and doesn’t yet have an issued passport. Does he need to have one before I (Petitioner) submit I-130?Or does the passport # apply only if spouse has entered the U.S.?
Hi. I submited the form I-130 on May this year for my mom, I am a US citizen and she is here on her B1/B2 visa.I am wondering if it will be a good idea for her to go bak before I submit the form I-485 since she has to take care of her pension and her mocular degeneration treatment. I know she won't be able to go back once I submit the AOS and processing times are taking very long these days. I haven't receive anything about the petition just the receipt notice and that's it. What do you recomend? Do you do phone consultations?
Hi, thank you for this helpful video! If we are using an address in the US do we still need to fill out the province or postal code? Is it the same a state and zip code?
Do I need to list myself as preparer and interpreter(Part 5, 6) on a I130A form for my Spouse That is overseas? I filed all the form I-130. Also part 4. should I mark which box 1a? 1b? 2? inside the box? this is so confuse. Thanks
I noticed you didn't have a video on filling out the I-130a, will you be making one?
Yes we will make one
@@SanDiegoImmigrationlawyer Thank you Mr. Sapochnick! On the I-130A can I have two present addresses? I'm in the US on a B2 visitor visa adjusting status and I have traveled back and forth for the last 3 years between the US and my home country.
Jacob: Dear Sir: Question: I am trying to locate my parents' marriage license to prove (probate) a will regarding a real estate property. Would a lawyer/attorney in NY help with this? Or would I have to dredge this by way of the city clerk's office?
If I am filling for my brother, who is currently not residing in the US, should I provide the I90 information of the beneficiary? Please note that my brother has visited the US in past, but not residing in the US now. Thanks!
Hi there ! I have a question about my spouse employment....he didn't come w a work visa etc.... but does work...I guess not considered legal.... how do I place this on the forms?
If I want to claim my daughter, who's married and has a daughter, what should I do? How should I fill out a I130 for each of them? Or should I only fill out one I130 and include all of them in it? Btw, I am a citizen.
Hi Jacob! LOVE this video! It was so so helpful! I have a few questions regarding the beneficiary section.
Q10 asks has anyone filed a petition for the beneficiary, and I'm not sure if that's just in regards to the I130 or for other visas and paperwork in the US?
Q46a. Would that be the very FIRST class of admission you arrived on (I've been here for 10 years and changed status from F1 to O1
Q46c. Would this be the very first day of first arrival?
Q48. Is travel document number the same thing as passport number or the number on the O1?
I've been searching everywhere for these answers!
Your help would be sincerely appreciated! Thank you!
The question has the beneficiary EVER been in the US is kinda unclear. I’m filing for spouse but he is not in the US currently but he has come to visit me with a tourist visa, do I still answer yes?
How long will take to bring my sister to USA
Question- My husband who is the one petitioning grew up with only his mother. On the birth certificate she is the only one on it. However, the father is alive, but not on records. Do you just leave Fathers information blank? or can you add his stepfather information because thats who he calls "Dad." and the one that also signed on our marriage certificate.
Karina Morales Illescas I would add his real dad info if he is alive.
On 3':41", does she mean to say if you marked "yes" here instead of "no"?
Hi i would like to ask regarding the form l-130 that im filling to USCIS they said that we will expect response on the date they give but suddenly it dont come , , why is that?
Hellow I'm going to petition for my spouse and this was helpful but can I just ask because the lady said on the 59a she said to put down petitions address but what if me and spouse lived abroad? Do I still put my address now or do I put my spouses address abroad? Can yous do a video for filing i130 form for ir2 visa for children under 14 years? Please but if not it's ok this video really helped me out with filling i130 thank you☺️
I’m Military requesting Parole in Place for my spouse and am absolutely lost on this form.
Just incase one makes a mistake what happens? The question about where the application of change of status will be applied ( part 4, question 61a and b) We wrote the address that we sent the package to rather than our city and state. We had it as our city and state then changed it after not being sure. What will happen to the application after? please let me know if you have any idea. We sent the packet with 485, 765 and 131 together. Thank you in advance.
It will be returned if mailed to the wrong address
The mailing address was correct but the location we said the beneficiary will be adjusting status was wrong on the 130 form itself.
@@vanniah1 You can do a change of address online.
@@SanDiegoImmigrationlawyer oh thank you so much.!!! I was panicking and my husband says we'll figure it out lol. Do I need to make an online account on uscis or just call them?
Hello, I am an American citizen, 30 yrs old, currently residing in USA. I want to apply green card for my parents and one married sister and her husband by filling out i-130 form online. So, my question is do i have to submit one application for my mom, one for my dad, one application for my sister and one for my sisters husband?

Hi, i've already filled out the I-130 petition for my wife to come to the US. We are now waiting in the pending approval status. Would it be a good idea to fill out the Visit Visa form for her to come and visit me in the US, while we are waiting for the I-130 to process? Thank you in advance!!
Yes But she must be careful as they may think she’s a potential immigrant
The last time my wife was in the U.S she was 6 years old. Her and her family had "BORDER CROSSING" cards. Their cards expired and never came back to the U.S. Luckily her mom still has that card. Would that go anywhere in section PART 4. 45-52? Im confused wether any info an her crossing card would go in this section.
I made a mistake on Part 5 of the app (other beneficiary). I filed a petition for my son and my daughter. I put in the relationship, how are you related to the beneficiary, I put child instead of parent. Do I need to contact uscis to correct that information?
Hi,Ma'am / Sir,I like to ask question,where do I get that 1-130 form?Thank you and God bless,.!"
Please I have petitioned for a relative before but I do not remember the day .I only remember the year and month i petitioned .is it okay to put the month and the year? Im talking about Part 5#4.
Part 5 - what if you applied for a K1 visa over 15 years ago. It asks for the filing place and date. Is it where you were living and therefore mailed it from? And as for the date, what if you can't remember?
Thanks for the video! My question is if I file a I-130 for my wife before 2/24 are we exempt from the new rules coming?
I have a question what does official statement means where they ask to upload dna, school record, census record religious record on I-130
I need help I’m filing an I-130 for my husbands dad and sister and I’m at Part 4 number 12a -12d. It wants to know where they intend to live in the USA.

Hi there, thank you for this wonderful video! Definitely helpful. A general question I’ve been trying to seek for a reliable answer for a long time, hoping you could help. For form I130: petitioner is petitioning for parents and parents have a dependent child under 21 years old. Must the dependent child under 21 have a separate i130 application form OR should the child be listed as a dependent under the parent’s application without filling a separate application for the child? Thank you so much.
Hi, I am a green card holder and I want to petition my spouse and our two minor kids. Should I only need one I-130 form for them? thank you
I've had multiple jobs pass 5 years but only 2 spaces available on the foam, how do I go about entering this?
Part 9 of the application is where you would input additional information.
Instead of leaving some places blank, can I put N/A?
Yes of course
