Hey Guys,

We are looking through the form I-130 section 22 and this is what it says...

22. Complete the information below if your relative is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status.

Your relative is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident at the USCIS office in: _________(City)____________(state)

If your relative is not eligible for adjustment of status, he or she will apply for a

visa abroad at the American consular post in: ___________(city) __________ (state)

--------

So my question is...does this question apply to me at all...as I am living in Canada...and my husband is a USC whose filling out the forms...I am not in US and I will not apply for AOS etc...I know this doesn't apply to us...and we should put N/A on both parts of the question ...but my darling husband wants a confirmation!...so please advise!!

Thanks!!

the answer to this question has been heavily debated

when i filled out mine i left it blank and i got noa2 with no rfe

some ppl put the country of their spouse in the second part of the question and they get their noa2 with no rfe pertaining to that question

the question is very poorly worded and i think the relevant authorities should consider revising it

are you sure?? but it says if I am in US at the moment...then I should fill...but I am not...so regardless...I should say Montreal, Canada??

Sorry, just trying to make sense of this form!

that is EXACTLY why i left the whole question blank

but do what makes you feel more comfortable

Well, I sent my application following the form example here on VJ. Check the examples form.

Do whatever makes you comfortable. For me it makes sense, as I am not in the US and applying for visa abroad. (sice the visa will be issued in my country).

Didn't get any RFE so far.

Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to confuse you. Also I didn't even know that they had a discussion about it here on visa journey before.

It just seemed right to me to add my Consular Information, as the example forms says.

You can wait and see what people have to say about it.

Good luck to you!

Hey Guys,

We are looking through the form I-130 section 22 and this is what it says...

22. Complete the information below if your relative is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status.

Your relative is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident at the USCIS office in: _________(City)____________(state)

If your relative is not eligible for adjustment of status, he or she will apply for a

visa abroad at the American consular post in: ___________(city) __________ (state)

--------

So my question is...does this question apply to me at all...as I am living in Canada...and my husband is a USC whose filling out the forms...I am not in US and I will not apply for AOS etc...I know this doesn't apply to us...and we should put N/A on both parts of the question ...but my darling husband wants a confirmation!...so please advise!!

Thanks!!

My wife is a USC and I'm working in Saudi Arabia. Here's mine:

...for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident at the USCIS office in: ____N/A_____(City)_____N/A_______(state)

This refers to the petitioner. My wife (petitioner) is a USC already so no need for her to change her status to permanent resident

...he or she will apply for a

visa abroad at the American consular post in: ____Riyadh_______(city) __Saudi Arabia______ (state)

This is for the applicant. This is the embassy of our choice where I (applicant) want my visa to be forwarded.

We had no problems in our I-130. Hope it helps. Good luck! :)
