I130 Filing Questions

[edatc00 5]

Hi, I am having a pretty big headache right now for filing I130 for my wife. 

I have two questions and hope to get some answers online but so far no luck. I am hoping that your value experience can help me.

 

1, on page 7 of I130, part 4, beneficiary's entry information. My wife did entered US as F-1 before but currently she's in Canada. And for item 47 "passport number", which number should I put? She entered US with her old passport (A) and her old name but right now she has a new passport after changed her name, but this new passport (B) was never used for entering US. Should I put A on item 47 or B?

 

2, on page 8, item 57.a-f. Since she's from non-roman letter speaking country, I know that I need to put her native spelling for a to c. But currently she's residing in Canada as a worker (not PR), do I just ignore that part or put her home country address on it with native spelling? I know it's confusing but technically speaking, her current "permanent" address is Canada, right?

 

Thank you so much for your help!!!

Actually, the first and MOST "operative" words are "not the Roman Alphabet".  That's the ABCs.  If the language uses the ABCs, the whole section is not applicable.  If her "native" alphabet is different, and she's living in Canada now, then only her name would be entered in the other alphabet.
