I-130/I-130A Questions

[Haiti2USA 4]

Good morning to all! I am looking over form I-130 and I-130A and have several questions related as to how to fill out these forms. I have read the instructions, yet I still have questions as to what is needed on this form. I know any small mistake can cause major delays and I do not want to shoot myself in the foot by having a sloppy form in USCIS's eyes. I am filing for my overseas spouse to come here to USA.

 

My questions are as follows:

I-130 Questions

1) Do I need to mark or write anything underneath Part 1. #2 as it does not apply to me? (describing relationship if the I-130 is for a child or parent)

2) "  ____  " --- Part 1. #3 I have the same question as for the above.

3) Part 2. #5a - #5c -- Do I leave this blank if it does not apply to me or do I need to write none in this box? (other names used)

4) Part 2. #10g - #10h ---- What do I put for the province and postal code? (for American address)

5) Part 2. #21. (date marriage ended) ---- Our marriage is ongoing. Do we need to state none in this box or N/A?

6) Part 2. #38. ---- This does not apply to me as I was born here. Do I just ignore this or do I need to write something next to these boxes?

7) Part 4. #4c. ---- (middle name) ---- My husband has no middle name. What do I need to put here in this box?

8) Part 4. #11a - #11h ---- I was advised by someone to put my husband's mothers address (Haiti) as he will be interviewing at Port-au-Prince. My husband actually spends time in the Dominican Republic, yet he does not have a permanent visa or mailing address there. The area he lives in does not have a sound mailing address as well as the fact of this not being his real address as he only went here for work. He plans to move back to Haiti around the time he will be interviewed. This really causes a complicated thought process as for what to put here. Won't the USCIS see from his passport that he has a 1 year Dominican visa? He renews this visa every year so I still am unsure as to what to put here.

9) Part 4. #25a - #28. ---- Do I need to list myself here again as his spouse?

10) Part 4. #59a - #60b. We were together for two months after marriage. Should we put this here for the "living together" section?

11) My husband and I share an e-mail. Is it okay for us to use this e-mail on I-130 for each of us or should we use our other (different) e-mail addresses [were it asks for my e-mail and his e-mail]?

 

I-130A Questions

 

1) Part 1. #3c. ---- This is the same as the question I had for form I-130. My husband has no middle name. What should we put here?

2) Again, for the physical address... the same question as I had for form I-130.

3) And, again, for employment... the same question as I had for form I-130.

4) Should I fill out the preparer's section of I-130A as I am filling it out on behalf of my spouse?

 

And, a general question I have for both forms is... Is there anything that can be put in additional information that will strengthen and help this application be stronger? anything that can be explained further that they do not ask for that can help make this go faster?

 

Thanks in advance to anyone for their responses! I am stressed at the moment so maybe I am looking over something for some of these. I am trying to both get my evidence prepared and compile all needed information for this for as well. I appreciate any information or guidance on this topic. Thanks again!
