I-130 Queston 17 (I know, I know)

[AtariBaby 17]

I know it's been asked a lot, but I really need to make sure because of conflicting answers, sometimes even on different forum threads.

I am the US Citizen (petitioner), she the Canadian spouse living with me in the US (beneficiary). There are no children. Can I just get lots of affirmations that I, the US citizen husband should be listed on this question?

The Ilona Bray Nolo books says "leave blank".

This supposed immgration lawyer says leave blank because it's for other types of relatives, e.g., a brother or a sister, who might be married to someone other than the petitioner. http://www.justanswer.com/immigration-law/2975p-confused-question-17-i-130-my-wife-us-citizen.html

And one post here said I should put "N/A" on every line after my name. Can someone confirm this?

It helps if you say what the question is. I don't have a I-130 laying around, so to help I'd need to look at a I-130. People are disinclined to do that much work

Okay, so Q17 asks you to list the spouse and children of your relative. I put my name there, even though it was repetitive. I don't think it matters much in this case. But it seems to me, most transparently, that you should put the spouse of your relative, which is you.
