i-130 Questions

[Tom Armstrong 6]

I'm refiling my wife's i-130 and have two questions

The first concerns "What is the beneficiary's Travel Document number?" 
I provided her passport number in the passport number field, but wonder if I should put her B-2 Visa number (control number) for the travel document number section.
Some places I've seen online make it seem like they could be asking about a visa in this field.

 

Also, in the next section it asks "What was the beneficiary's class of admission?" and then it asks about her i-94, date of arrival, and when her stay expires.
She's not currently in the USA--so, should I leave this information blank or include her I-94 which shows that she visited and then left? And what about "when does the beneficiary's authorized stay expire?" My instincts say leave this blank since she is not currently in the US, but I want to be sure.

Thanks so much to all.

1) Passport; you provide travel document if she doesn’t have a passport

2) If she’s not physically in the U.S. when the I-130 is filed this isn’t applicable

Are you talking about items 46.a-46.d?

Thank you for this.

This is an example of where things can get confusing when filing online because it doesn't provide the context or conditional statements "If,...", so I think what I'll do is have the paper copy to refer to while filling it out digitally.

Yes, that's a good idea. When filing online, are there question mark icons next to questions giving examples?

There are no question marks, this is exactly what it looks like:

From memory it only populates if you say “yes” to the initial question about if they’re in the U.S. currently on the radio button or drop down (I could be wrong though, I can’t go back and check ours.)

 

I’d double check to make sure there’s not an initial question that was answered incorrectly. Or I could be wrong, but worth double checking.

Maybe it's changed, but it doesn't ask if they're currently in the US only if they've EVER been in the US. 
It's only clear on the paper copy--as you pointed out. Thanks again!

Correct, and this is only one of the many glitches in the online form.

It's always advisable to have the instructions, which are separate, open in another tab while filling this stuff out.
