I-130 questions

[Cobra64th23 0]

Hello i have a few questions pertaining to the I-130

Question 13c-16c on the I-130 asks if my relative has ever been to the U.S. My wife has been to to the states for K-1 visa in 2007. K-1 was not filed by me was a previous fiance

1) She no longer has her I-94 so i can not put a number for question 14c. What should I do and is all this information required even though she is no longer in the states? I am now staying with her in the philippines.

Should i skip the I-94 questions and insert the dates she arrived and departed from the dates listed on her passport?

2) Aslo when my wife was in the U.S in 2007 she overstayed her visa by 40 days will this impact my CR-1 petition? I read that it wont unless an immigrant stay for an acculamative of 180 days past there visa is this true?

3) For question 1c on form I-30 when is asks for her family name I put down my family name cause we are now married. Is this ok even though i dont have any official documents stating a name change, I just have the marriage certificate which still only states her orginal name. We plan to get her a new Philippine passport with My last name is this ok?

4) Also on the topic of names. Her Orginal name is Crystal Cui Abuel. Now that she is marriied Is her name now Crystal Cui Perkins or Crystal Abuel Perkins? Cui is My wifes mothers last name and Abuel being her fathers last name.

5) I was previously confused CR-1 visa with a K-2 visa anyone know where i might have gotten the name K-2 visa from and what does it do?

Thank you for any answers u can provide and wish you happy holidays

Question 13 - if your wife has been to the US, then check yes.

Question 14 - this asks if your wife is currently in the US. If she is not, then check no. No i-94 information required if she is not currently in the US

Any overstay, no matter how slight, is illegal. She should be prepared to answer questions about the overstay. She should answer as honestly has possible.

If she is taking your last name, then she should sign in that as her last name. I took my husband's name but at the time of our petition I didn't have any documents in this new name. It was a non-issue with USCIS. However, at the time of the interview, they expect some documents. Especially the passport - as the green card will be issued in the name in the passport.

Her new name is whatever SHE wants it to be. Ask her if she wants her maiden name as her middle name or if she wants to drop her middle name completly.

K-2 visa is a derivative of the k-1 fiance visa. The K-2 is issued to children of a beneficiary of a K-1 visa. Since you are filing out the I-130 this does not apply to you. If you have children, or step children (depending on the circumstances) you'll need a visa for them as well

Good luck.

re: her name.

I suggest you use the name in her passport.

If you want to get THAT changed, first, then go to her passport agency, with marriage certificate, and have it changed.

Good Luck !
