Filling Out I-130 Form

[Mr and Mrs Rubio 0]

On the form I-130, question 62.a. asks, "The beneficiary will not apply for adjustment of status in the United States, but he or she will apply for an immigrant visa abroad at the U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate." Can someone help give us a better understanding of what this means? Please and thank you! I am also living with my wife in her country which is the Philippines and we're sending the petition to Dallas.

Some people are applying for the Visa in the U.S. because they were already there when they got married. T

 

You would say yes or check that, as you wil be applying at the embassy in the Phillipines, not in the U.S.

Along with what @Bee91 said (which is correct), If the I-130 is part of the process for attaining a visa, then you would mark "yes"....because all visas applications are made at US embassies or consulates.

 

(except for Taiwan....where visa applications are made at the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT))
