So in completing the I-130 online for An's mom, in the Beneficiary's Family section, there's a section for "current spouse" and then later a section for "additional family." So we filled out the information about her mom's spouse (her dad) in the "current spouse" section, but when we get to "additional family" it says, "Provide information about the beneficiary's spouse and children in this section if they have any." Since it mentions the spouse here, should we enter it again in this section? Thanks!

 

Sorry - forgot to ask my other question. She's also petitioning for her father. On her mother's application, in the "Other petitions" section, where it says "What is your relationship to this relative," due to the way it's worded, I just want to make sure she should put "Child" and not "Parent," even though she's petitioning her parent, correct? It's just confusing because earlier, in the beneficiary's information, it says "Select the relationship the beneficiary has to you," so in that case it's "Parent."

you seem to be reading under the section spouses's marriages that asks info on former marriages (if any ) 21a

 

it would be info on former spouse and all children

Well, this is the online form, so it looks a little different. There aren't any numbers/letters. The main section is "Beneficiary's Family," and under that are 4 subsections: Marital status, Current spouse, Prior spouses, and Additional family. We put her husband's information under Current spouse, then left Prior spouses blank since there aren't any, then when we get to Additional family it says, "Provide information about the beneficiary's spouse and children in this section if they have any." When you go to add each one, you can check "spouse" or "child." It's not under either the Current spouse or Prior spouses subsections, so I just found it confusing as to whether we needed to add her spouse again.

Hi, did you get your answer to your second question? I have the exact same question. Seems like logically we should choose "Child" the way the question is worded, although we're applying for the parent. But seems like a mistake from their side, I don't think they meant it this way...
