My husband is currently in Saudi Arabia working as an Overseas worker for 7 YEARS now. We are goin to used the US Embassy in Manila,Phils for this process. Now here are my confusions;

FORM I-130

BENEFICIARY QUESTION

Question #2 His Address...I was thinking since were going to used Manila Embassy, its only necessary to put his home address in the Philippines for this line...am I right?

Question #19 Your relatives address abroad? I assumed it will be the same as above (his home address in the Philippines)? Am I right or wrong?

NOW HERE'S THE CONFUSION...filing for G-325a (note: his been working in KSA 7years and basically spend more time living there than in the Philippines?

For Question stating:

Thank you all so much ..you guyz are a great help! Appreciate it alot...God bless!

You have to answer ALL sections, leave nothing blank, use N/A if it does not apply to you.

That #22 is an either/or answer , the first part does not apply to you if you the beneficiary is not living in the U.S.

The second part requires an answer if you the beneficiary is living in the Philippines.

But on this case Im the petitioner..so what should I answer on #22 ..Im the one preparing the document? hope to clarify things...still confused...thanks

We also submitted just one copy each of the G325-A. The instructions for filling up the I-130 did not say we needed to submit 4 copies.

Wheew thank you...I really thought its only 1 copy each..thanks for clearing it up for us!

1. 4 copies of G-325a for each (beneficiary and petitioner)

2. Just put N/A or None

3. We did not abbreviate the country though.

Thanks so much for the quick reply..I didnt realize its 4 copies..I thought thats only for K-3(fiancee visa) because it doesnt specified on the CR-1...glad I asked...Its quite hard to fill up the application using PDF..coz some words are way too long ( like city names with country)..yikes...

Hope you dont mind if I have another question:

I kinda stuck with question #22 on form I-130 it says " Complete the information below if your relative is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status....and requiring City and State to be filled....do I have to answer to that? quite not understanding this question

Please help!

Hi..just need a quick help here pls on form G-325a

1.How many copies of G-325a do we have to submit with I-130?

2. Question with US social security No...for fiance...what should we answer to that when he dont have one yet...N/A is not applicable

3. For questions " City and Country of Birth..can you abbreviate the Country? like for Philippines..can you just use PHILS?

Hi everyone,just got a few questions that need some help on. First, a bit of bacground..my husband & I got married last april 2011, and we're now ready to file for our CR-1. He is currently working as an OFW in Saudi Arabia. He has 3 kids from previous marriage (whome he has no plan for now to bring with him to the US) & I got one daughter of my own from previous marriage. Now here's all my questions that I need your help on.

1. Do I file my petition for him addressed to the Philippines and used the Philippine Embassy and all documents he will recieved can just be forwarded to him to Saudi? (He can exit from his work in Saudi anytime ..if he needed so)

2. on Form I-130 question#17 (List wife/and all children of your relative)

--Should we need to list all his 3 children and also my daughter as his stepdaughter?

3. Form G-325a -Must all signature must be original? can my husband just sign it and send it to me tru email and Ill just

print it from my end.

--How many copies of G-325a do we have to submit?

4. Just to clarify...I no longer need to submit a copy of my beneficiary/husband birth certificate?

5. How long usually is the estimated timeframe for the whole entire petition process of CR1 (from sending the application to getting the interview date)?

****** All helpful answers will be appreciated....Thank you in Advance!

For an IR-1/CR-1 visa, you don't file an I-485. You only file the I-130 at USCIS.

OH! Thanks..just realize I had misread the info in the uscis.gov info...thanks for enlightening me

Morning Vjers,

Just wanna asked everyone , in petitioning my husband would I submit form I-130 together with I-485, or we can do the I-485 later when he arrived in the US? Thanks any information will be appreciated

Hello VJ's....Just a bit confused here in answering question 10: on I-129F ..If its by naturatization...which number of certificate are they asking?...the INS REGISTRATION no: the "A" Number or..the one that is on that of the certification paper. PLS help....bout to send in our K1 Petition soon.

You can mark single but DO indicate the name and other information about the former spouse on the G325a and I-129F. It's not REALLY like it never happened but you are neither married or divorced, so single is the correct answer.

Thanks so much Pushbrk...I was really hoping you'll reply to this post...and really thank you so much for the info...I just really need some affirmation from someone who really knows their stuff.....God Bless!

I'm not sure what you are trying to ask here!

The answer is entirely up to your situation!!!

1) to confirm, you are applying for a K-1 visa right? This means you are currently NOT MARRIED, because if you are then you DON'T qualify for a K-1

2) are you divorced or did you have an annuled married?

If the answer is no, then you are single....

I Clearly stated....annuled didn't I?...so that makes my fiancee entitled...just the question of answering question #6 on I-129f with SINGLE STATUS OR DIVORCED?.....just wanna get things right...

Hello 2 all...I have a questioned that may seems old to some and reduntant, but I just wanna make sure ...so I asked for a reply on those whose been on the same situation only, or people that really know their stuff and not just guessing plsssss.....coz it tends to throw more people off if you will give suggestions base on false opinions.

QUESTION: MARITAL STATUS TO ANSWER ON QUESTION# 6....IF YOUR ANNULLED ( SINGLE OR DIVORCE)?

SINGLE... OF COURSE YES U WILL FILL OUT ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT UR PREVIOUS MARRIAGE.. LIKE WHAT IS THE NAME OF UR X-WIFE OR HUSBAND....ETC....

GOOD LUCK!!! GLAD U GOT THE DECISION.. IF U DON'T MIND Y U TOOK SOOO LONG TO GET IT...?

Not really sure why it took that long,the attorney just said its really a long wait now..because annulment is getting a bit common now..alot of people are filing for annulment nowadays..sso its creating a backlog on all the cases handled by one court. So yes we just patiently waited for ours, it was filed Jan 2007, processs didnt actually start moving till bout June 2007, then all process and court hearing done by June 2008, so waited for our decision for almost 2yrs. Hope your's wouldnt last as long as ours...Goodluck to you!

status: single...

psychological evaluation... from what i read here on VJ u will undergo this evaluation if he/ she is found psychologically incapacitated.... but if not then no need to under go this one...

Hi..my question is..if the status will retain to single...because of annulment..do we still need to fill in the information..about previous marriage..like the question asking for ex spouse name and date of marriage? Me and my fiancee waited almost 2yrs alone just for the decision..besides for a year of processing..Now finally, just this month we received a letter that its all null & void..thank God..now our wait is finally over..and we can now moved on..and ready to start our K-1 process. wheeew..so if theres anyone who can enlighten me with some info regarding my question plz ..will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Kevin<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

annulment is as if the marriage never happened... if it was annulled then there is no "history"

My suggestion is: Make a copy of your old and "torned" birth certificate and see if any important information is obscured by the "torned" part/s. If not...send this copy to the USCIS. However, during the time that your petition is being processed, get a new one and have it ready in case you get a RFE. This will avoid any delays in processing.

Good Luck,

Franc

Hi to all, I just wanna ask for a bit of info. I am the Petitioner on this process, I understand that I need to send in my Birth Certicate together along with my Naturalization Certificate. I was born in the Philippines, I do have my original Birth certificate..but its a bit old and torned...would I need to obtain a new copy from the NSO, or the one I have should be enough not to get us some RFE.

Thanks all for any info you can share with me..to lessen my confusion!

Hi VJ's

Help!!! Can somebody please tell me if I can use child support as additional income? I'm a bit short for the poverty guideline for 125% for family of 3..Im a little off by a couple of hundred bucks , but if I will be able to add child support I received for my daughter It will be more than enough to cover what we need for the poverty limit. I have a co-sponsor line up but its probably not an option for us , coz for some that I read here, In Philippines they dont usually accept co-sponsor. So is there anybody who can give me some advice on this, and what exactly do I need to do, Add it to my 1040 when I file my tax or just add it to my I-134 as income..Please advice :help:

Thank you so much for the fast response!

PLEASE ANYBODY....I NEED MORE INSIGHTS ON THIS MATTER!...HELP!!!!!

Hello VJers;

This is our first post here. I & my fiancee are preparing for our K1 petition, but before we do so we a few questions thats concerning us, so can someone plz help us regarding this matter.

Questions are:

1. My fiance is currently an OFW (overseas filipino worker) working in Saudi Arabia, would he need to go back to the philippines and if so when is the best time for him to go back home, would it be as soon as we process the petition or would it be best to wait for our NOA2?

2. and if he needs to go back to the philippines, would he be question about it, that he was out of the country when we filed for the petition and just went home when we receive the NOA2 and time to get his medical and interview done?

PLEASE HELP!!! ANY INSIGHTS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
