Need help with a few questions in I-130 form for IR1

[tva113 0]

Hello Everyone,

 

This is my first post here. I (US citizen) will be filing for IR1 via DCF for my wife very soon. We have been married for many years and were living in the US for a long time as well before my wife decided to move back home for a few years to spend time with family. We both had green cards when in the US through my employment. I continued to stay in the US and became a citizen and moved out of the country to join her a couple of years back. Now we both want to get back to the US.

 

We have been reading through the Visa Journey forums and it has been immensely helpful. Thanks a lot!

 

Had a few questions in the I-130 form. It would be really helpful if someone could help with those.

 

Page 1 -> Part 2-> Item 1

“Alien Registration number (if any)”

 

Should I enter my A number from my earlier green card even though I am a citizen now.

 

Page 5 -> Part 4 (Information about beneficiary) -> Item 10

“Has anyone else ever filed a petition for the beneficiary?”

 

My wife was living in the US earlier for several years and we both got our green cards (from H1(me)/H4 (spouse) visas) through my employment. She then moved out of US. What should we answer for this question.

 

Page 5 -> Part 4 (Information about beneficiary) -> Item 12.a (Other address and contact information)

"Provide the address in the United States where the beneficiary intends to live, if different from items numbers 11a - 11h. If the address is the same, then type or print SAME in item number 12a"

 

We are both currently living out of the US and do not have a US address. What address should we provide here.

 

Page 8 -> Part 5 (Other information) -> Item 1

“Have you EVER previously filed a petition for this beneficiary or any other alien?”

 

From what I mentioned above, my wife got a green card when living in the US through my employment. I did not file a petition for her as a US citizen. What should we answer here.

 

Page 8 -> Part 4 -> Item 59.a

“If filing for your spouse, provide the last address at which you physically lived together. If you never lived together type or print never lived together”

 

I am assuming we should enter our address where we currently live. Is that correct? Should we say N/A for “Date To” since we are still living there?

 

Thanks much in advance.
