Quick question on I-130 part 4 and I-94 number

[Bug&Bug 143]

Hi all, I could not find an answer and the instructions and example dont help.

 

So in section:

Beneficiary´s entry information

45 Has the beneficiary ever been in the USA

If the beneficairy is currently in the Unitated States complete sections 46.a to 46.d

46.a Class of admission

46.b Form I-94

46.c Date of arrival

46.d Expiration

47 Passport number

48 Travel document number

50 Country of Issuance of passport or travel document.

 

So I have been several times in the USA but I am not there while we are filing, so 45 is a YES and 46 I leave blank.

47 I put my passport number and in 50 its country of issue.

 

Now, I (beneficiary) do have an I-94 number with all my travel history to visit the petitioner.

 

So should I leave 46 blank, and maybe put it in the I-94 number in the additional information section at the end? Or leave all blank?

Or put the number and history attached as part of the bonafide evidence section?

 

Thanks!

You leave 46 b blank or wrote Not applicable N/A ..... along with 46a, 46c, and 46 d.

The I94 is related to the entry used for the most recent entry into the US IF the beneficiary is still in the US at time of completing the form. 

Read the  questions  literally 

For  q46 it asks if the beneficiary is currently IN the US.. not if you are living here.. you could be visiting 

Also .. if you are NOT in the US on the date of the petitioner signing the I 130, then you do not complete q 46 a, b, c, d 

 

There is no where in the instructions that they are asking for any I 94 number apart  from this one specific  instance. 

 

BTW they already know if you are on the country and they know every I 94 you have had 😁

 

Complete all sections as per the instructions ., add nothing that is not requested 

 

If you are using  travel records as evidence is relationship, that is a part  of the package you are submitting , which includes the  I130 and required documentation.

Perfect will just include it as part of of the evidence pack then. Thanks a lot!

 

(And yeah I know they have it, I just put in my passport and name on the i94 website and BOOM all my travel info!)
