Hello,

 

I'm a little bit confused on how to complete the I-130A.  I (petitioner) and filling in my husband's (beneficiary) information, correct?  I understand he won't sign it but I will put my info in section 6 as the preparer?

Married April 25, 2019

Sept 10 2019: Received NOA1 assigned to Nebraska Service Center :crying: IOE reciept
Sept 27, 2019: I-129F Received - LIN receipt

Transferred to Vermont SC in February sometime. - had to contact them because they did not send notice.
NOA2 6/18/20 :joy:

6/18/20: Paid NVC fees

7/17/20: Submitted AOS & DS form to NVC

7/23/20: DQ'd!! :dance:

Either of you can fill it out, doesn’t matter as long as the info is correct. If he’s overseas yes he won’t have to sign. You don’t have to put yourself as preparer. That section is more for if you are using a paid service to prepare it for you

NVC Stage:

  • Sep 27 2019: Sent to Department of State
  • Oct 31 2019: Case number received (34 days since sent)

  • Dec 18 2019: Requested doc submitted
  • Feb 19 2020: Documentarily Qualified (9 weeks from 2nd submission, 14 weeks from first submission)

That's correct if the foreign spouse is fully versed in English. Otherwise, the petitioner may want to be the "interpreter".

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
