Some unclear questions on I-130 form

Hi

I am submitting an I-130 for my spouse (also my beneficiary) and I'm stuck on a couple of confusing questions.

First, we currently live together. It is our first time living together.  So, the question  "Where did you and your spouse last live together? If filing for your spouse, provide the last address at which you physically lived together. If you never lived together, type "Never lived together" in Address line 1."

The last sentence is confusing - because we currently live together - which they will be able to see when they compare the addresses we state .  But we never lived together BEFORE our current status.Should I put  "Never lived together" in Address line 1"?  or put our current address? 

 

"Travel Document" -  For the question,

What is the beneficiary's Travel Document number?

I gather the "Travel Document number" is NOT the same as the Passport number? On her I-94, the "Document Number" is in fact the same as her Passport #.  However, the I-94 admission number is different. She arrived here with a B2 Tourist Visa, and then did an AoS 6 months later to the F1. 

Where does the beneficiary currently work? If the beneficiary is currently unemployed, type unemployed in name of current employer.

As you all know, F1 students are not allowed to work.  But they are not technically "unemployed" - so Im not sure how to respond to this. (Another example of these forms simply not having enough options!)

 

Thanks for any and all suggestions / enlightenment.

 

BTW - yes we are working with a person on forms - but its expensive ,and this I-130 is "supposed" to be the easy one.  LOL!  Trying to find affordable consult on this process is another issue.

~~ Topic moved from CR1/IR1 spousal visa forum to AOS work/tourist/student visas - this is an AOS case within US,  not CR1 ~~
 

1. Put current address

2. N/A for Travel document 

3. Unemployed is what applies here. She’s a student but.. she’s still unemployed.
