Filling in an I-130 #15 - is it the petitioner's or the beneficiary's employment status

Dear all,

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. My husband and I have been working our way through the I-130. We think we have everything correct, but we're stuck on one question.

#15 "Name and Address of Present Employer (if any)

This question is under the right hand column making us think it's about the "beneficiary," but the question doesn't say "your relative" like all the other questions.

Can anyone shed any light on whose employer needs to go in there.

We want to make sure its right because one of us is self-employed and the other un-employed and so if we reply for the wrong person it could look like one spouse is employing the other which would be strange.

Your help and thoughts are much appreciated - we have a long journey ahead of us and reading your posts has already been really helpful in not making us feel alone in this journey.

That question is about the beneficiary. Later down the road, you´ll send in an Affidavit of Support form that´s all about your job (which is actually the more important one). They don´t really care if the beneficiary is employed or not. They´re obviously going to quit their job anyway when they immigrate.

Thank you so much - that makes perfect sense I just needed some re-assurance.
