Hi all,

 

I'm still filling out the I-130/I-130A forms for the initial submission and have a question on phrasing for the Beneficiary's employment status.

 

I (the Petitioner) am self-employed (sole proprietor) in Japan, and she works for me, as declared both in US and Japanese taxes. I do not have corporate status in either country, but I do have a business name registered here in Japan.

I'm guessing I use either my name or the business name as her employer? Either would be truthful, just not sure which they would expect in such a case.

Also, before that she was a SAHM with our son. Her last job was just over 5 years ago. List as "unemployed" under Employer 2 or just leave blank?

Personally I would enter the company name. Because technically she works for the business and not for you personally. If she is your 'executive assistant' or would continue to do whatever job it is' for you directly even if the company closed shop, then she works for you directly and not the company. 

 

Also I would fill out employer 2 as unemployed SAHM just to not have any blanks or questions come up. Her job before being a SAHM was over 5 years so it wouldnt fit in employer 2. I would worry leaving employer 2 blank may make an issue since they may think you didnt fill out the complete last 5 years.

Company name.  The form instructions tell you to enter unemployed if not employed.
