Part 5 of form I-130- Online Filling for both parents

[SHIQUILO 213]

Hello Everyone,

I hope someone can help me.

I am filing for my parents who live outside the US.

I am filing out the i-130 form online and it asked me these questions.

-Have you EVER previously filed a petition for this beneficiary or any other alien? Yes or No (I answered yes because I filled out the form for my mother last night).

My question is When it says where the petition was filed, does it mean the state I live in or the service center that received it?

What would the result section be since the case will be in processing? (Should I write Pending? ).

 

Thank you for your help!

i am not very sure but if this is the first time you are filing for your mother then your answer should have been a no as you have never filed for her.

 

if she entered USA through any other visa and that was filed by you then your answer should be a yes. 

 

i assume this is the very first application you are making for your mother ever.

 

again dont take this very accurate as  i can definately be wrong and not understanding your situation.

Hello Karishma,

 

Thank you for replying.

 

Yes, is the first application for both of them.

 

I already filled my mother application last night and on that application my answer was a NO.

I forgot to mention that now I am filling out my father's application and that's why I answered YES on his application because I filled for my mother last night and she is the other alien.

 

After that they are asking where the petition was filed?  Do they mean the state I live in or the service center that received it?

The answer is NO if you have never filed form i-130 on  their behalf or any other person. Regardless of wether either parent had been to the states on a tourist visa the answer remains No. if you answer NO, you wouldn’t be asked for location.
