I am preparing the I-130 as much as I can ahead of time...
Can I prepare the I-130A for my fiance who is in the Philippines? Do I need to list myself as the preparer?
Employment Status - My fiance has not had a regular job since 2015 when she returned from a 2 year commitment in Malaysia. She was with her second husband in 2016, married in 2017, and then widowed in the beginning of 2022. She has a small cake business that is not registered that she makes ends meet with barely. What would be the best way to show this on the I-130A? Do I need to show it at all?
If I don't show she has an income could I use that as a way to expedite our petition once I file? Even if I do show her income it is very little. Something to the effect of she is now my wife and in helping her to keep her household there afloat and my own is causing financial stress that would be eased with an expedited petition so we are under one household.
As always thank you all for your help. I hope to return the favor in the future once I understand this better.
