I-130 confusion

[VDL 0]

Hello, I am very confused on I-130 and I just want to make a double sure if I understood right.

I am an American and my husband is a Dutch. We have looked at the form example for I-130 and it is mind blogging for us!

For Section B- that is for me, the petitioner. I am able to fill out on that section just fine. Now, on section C, for my husband. The confusion starts at number 17 in section C. Am I supposed to write myself, the petitioner, on that list of "List husband/wife and all children of your relative."? USCIS said my husband, the beneficiary, but the example form from here we looked at and its for the beneficiary. My husband did not feel right with USCIS's answer and he wants us to make sure by ask you all (who have experience with filling this form) to be more clearly for us.

WHO is exactly supposed to be listed in that list?

Thank you in advance!

The I-130 is used for other type of family related visas such as brothers, children or parents, hence the question about spouses. In your case, your husband is the beneficiary so you would enter your name & information under 17 for you are the beneficiary's spouse.

I think the correct reply for 17 in the case of petitions made by spouses should be 'Duh!!!' but the USCIS may take exception at such frankness...

*** Moving from K3 to CR-1 visa forum as the K3 is obsolete and the I-130 asked about is part of the CR-1 process ****

Yes your name goes there. Instea of husband and wife (vise versa) they just label couples as petitioner & beneficiary. Just replace those labels whenever you get confused.

Great, I didn't put my name in there because it seemed obvious. Will this get me an RFE?
