[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] hi everyone my name is Abhishek reek and welcome to immigration vision I am an immigration attorney based in New Jersey and today I'm going to be talking about filling out form i-130 petition for alien relative this is the form you would submit if you the petitioner are either a US citizen or a u.s. permanent resident and you have a qualifying relationship with an alien relative so first part here is for USCIS use only so we can go ahead and skip that and move on to the second part this would be completed if you have an attorney or accredited representative so if you do the attorney would be required to submit a form g28 so you would click this box and enter their information here if you do not have an attorney you can skip this part and move on to part one part one relationship so in this case you the u.s. resident are the petitioner and your relative is the beneficiary so in this case let's see what the qualifying relationship would be number one I am filing this petition for my spouse parent brother sister child so for the purposes of this example we're going to assume that our petitioner is filing for their spouse number two if you're filing this petition for your child or parent select the box that describes your relationship since we're applying for a spouse here none of these would apply so we can go ahead and skip this if you are applying for a child or a parent you would have to select one of these boxes number three if the beneficiary is your brother sister are you related by adoption since this does not apply to our case here since our petitioner is applying for his spouse we would skip number three number four did you gain permanent resident status or citizenship through adoption so you would have to select yes or no in this case our petitioner did not so we're going to hit no Part two information about you the petitioner again that's the US citizen or US permanent resident filling this form out number one alien registration number a number your alien number can be found on the front of your green card if you're a US citizen who has been naturalized into the u.s. the alien number would be at the top right hand of your certificate if you were born in the US and are a natural-born citizen you can disregard this part as you would not have an alien number number to USCIS online account number sometimes people prefer to fill their forms out and submit them online so if you do have a USCIS account number you can fill it out here otherwise you can leave a blank number three u.s. social security number if you are a u.s. permanent resident or US citizen you would have a social security number which you can enter here so for the purpose of this example our petitioners name is Ravi Patel so when I'm typing in the island xxx form I prefer to use all caps so we'll enter the last name and then the first name if our petitioner had a middle name we would enter it here but in this case he does not so we leave it blank moving on to page two here this page also continues with information about you the petitioner in this box five a through five see if you've ever had any other names including maiden names nicknames and aliases you would enter it here our petitioner has never used any other name so he would leave a blank other information number six this is where you would enter the petitioners date of birth place of birth and gender so we will say that our petitioner was born in New York in the USA and for purposes of this example the petitioners date of birth is January 1st 1990 and he is a male mailing address this is where he would enter the address that you want all of your documents mailed to this can be different than your physical address so for example if you would like all the notices and all of the physical cards mailed to a different address than the physical address then you would go ahead and enter that address here so in ten eight and care of we will enter the name of the petitioner and then the address we want all of the mail being sent to so we will just put a mere address here 100 West 89th Street apartment 20 B the city will be New York the Steep will also be New York and the zip code will be 1 0 0 0 2 XI the province would not die since this is a u.s. address and neither would the postal code these are for foreign addresses only and the country is USA in 11 you would indicate whether your mailing address is the same as your current physical address so here it is yes but if it was no you would enter your physical address in 12a through 13 B now moving on to the the petitioners physical address history so before the petitioner moved to his current address he used to previously live in New Jersey so we'll just go ahead and enter that address okay so I just entered a sample in Jersey City address I'm not even sure if this is the zip code but this is just to show you how you would enter in your address history and so USCIS wants your physical address history for the last five years so the petitioner moved to this address on January 1st 2013 and he lived there till December 31st 2018 and he's been at the current New York address from January 1st 2019 onwards okay your marital information number 16 how many times has the petitioner been married so for this example one current marital status so since he's applying for a spouse he's obviously currently married if you were divorced widowed separate annulled and single it would be applicable if you were applying for your siblings children or your parents and you would indicate accordingly date of current marriage so for the purposes of example will have their date of marriage be January 1st 2020 where did they get married so mr. patel's spouse lives abroad so we would show that he travels to get married to a spouse and then returned back to the u.s. to file for him I 134 a consular process so we can show that he got married in Mumbai Maharashtra in India here the state wouldn't apply because the drop down menu is for us deeds only so if your marriage took place in the United States you wouldn't enter a province but simply a state here name of all of your spouse's so this information is a continuation of your marital history provide information all your current spouse if currently married first and then list all your prior spouses this is at this example the name of mr. Patel spouse is Pooja Patel so we'll go ahead and enter her last name her first theme and again she has no middle name but if your spouse does you would enter it here since pooja and Rebbie are currently married number 21 would not apply date that the marriage ended since this is a current marriage if your petitioner had a previous spouse you would enter that information here and indicate the date that the marriage ended moving on information about your parents parent one's information full name of parent one here you're entering the information about the petitioners mother and father so go ahead and enter the last name till and the father's first name again person does not have a middle name date of birth January 1st 1955 he is a male country of birth in two and he currently resides in New Jersey so we'll put the city and the country of residence which is us a parent choose information here in 30 a you would indicate the second parents information so in this case it would be mr. patel's mother's information so again no middle name for her date of birth her gender country her first and where she currently lives now additional information about you the petitioner number 36 I am a US citizen or if you're a lawful permanent resident you would indicate that in this box if you're a US citizen complete item 37 my citizenship was acquired through select only one box so mr. Patel was born in the United States however if Ravi was naturalized he would have to complete the following items number 38 have you obtained a certificate of naturalization or a certificate of natural disease of citizenship here the answer would be no if mr. Patel was naturalized you would indicate the certificate number which again can be found on the top right hand corner of your naturalization certificate place of each issuance and the date of issuance which are all available on the certificate itself if you are not a citizen in a lawful permanent resident you would skip this entire section and answer questions 48 onwards so if you are a lawful permanent resident please complete items 40 a 241 so in 40 a you would indicate your class of admission which would be indicated on the front of your green card date of admission which would be indicated on the green card as well place of admission so where did you first enter the US as a green card holder and the state 41 did you gain lawful permanent resident status through marriage to a US citizen or a lawful permanent resident you would indicate yes or no employment history provide your employment history for the last five years whether inside or outside the United States provide your current employment first if you are currently unemployed please type or print unemployed an item number 42 so for this example we'll say that mr. Patel works for my firm so the employer is law office again the province in the postal code would not apply here since this is a u.s. address and mr. Patel is a paralegal and he started working here January 1st 2015 since this includes his five year employment history you can skip over employer to information however if the petitioner has two jobs at once or had previous employment in the last five years you would indicate it here if all of your employment history does not fit within the given area you can always go down to the last page of the form in additional information and indicate the page number part number item number and list out the history here whether it's your address history or employment history so we'll just go back here so we left off at part three biographic information nope provide the biographic information about you the petitioner so again this is still about mr. Patel number one ethnicity select only one box Hispanic or Latino not Hispanic or Latino so please indicate accordingly race select all applicable boxes so here mr. Patel is from an Asian descent height is six feet and he weighs 200 pounds I color select only one box hair color select only one box part for information about beneficiary so from this point onwards all of the information that you provide on this form will be about the foreign alien that are applying for so in this case mr. Patel will fill the information out for his spouse since his spouse pooja lives in India she does not have an alien registration number USCIS account number nor does she have a u.s. social security number because she has never been to the US herein beneficiaries full name go ahead and enter the name of the person you are applying for in this next field provide all other names the beneficiary has ever used including aliases maiden name and nicknames so here you would enter all the names of beneficiary has had here pooja has only used one name her entire life so we would go ahead and leave this blank other information about the beneficiary so here you would enter the beneficiary's place of birth date of birth and gender so she was born in Mumbai in India and her date of birth is January 1st 1991 and she is a female number 10 has anyone else ever filed a petition for this beneficiary so here has anyone applied a form i-130 or it could be a form I won 40 for the beneficiary so you would indicate yes/no or unknown here is the note select unknown only if you do not know and the beneficiary also does not know if anyone else has filed a petition for the beneficiary so make sure you ask the beneficiary if they know of any filed petitions the past for the case of our example no one has filed a petition for the beneficiary if the beneficiary lives outside the United States and a home without a street number or name leave items 11 a and 11 be blank so the beneficiary's physical address is 24 a street the city is Mumbai and here because this is a foreign address we would not use 11 t and 11 e but rather enter the province and the postal code in the country I believe there's an extra number here so Indian postal codes have six numbers other addresses and contact information provide the address in the United States where the beneficiary intends to live as different from item numbers 11 a through 11 H if the address is the same type or print same in item number 12 a so since the US address where puja plans to live is different than the foreign address here currently her address is in Mumbai India but she plans on living with her spouse mr. Patel in New York City so we'll go ahead and enter his current address next provide the beneficiary's address outside the United States if different from item numbers 11 8 through 11 age if the address is the same type or print same in item numbers 13 a so here the beneficiary is foreign address is this India address so we would just type same in this box and then skip items 13 B to 13 F however we will provide a telephone number here so we would enter the country code all right and then if she has a mobile number you can enter it here and then an email address so for the purposes of this we will just put her email address as peat Patel 1 1 9 1 at gmail.com beneficiary's marital information how many times has the beneficiary been married so here pooja has been married only once so you would indicate that in this box number 18 current marital status would be married and the date of current marriage January 1st 2020 place of the beneficiary's current marriage which is the same as the information we had put in earlier about the petitioners marriage so it would be in my state would not apply here since this took place in a foreign country name of the beneficiaries spouses please provide information on the beneficiary's current spouse if currently married first and then list all the beneficiaries prior spouses if any so here who has only been married once so we'll go ahead and enter the petitioners information here the marriage is still ongoing so 22 would not apply if the beneficiary has been married more than once you would indicate that in the spaces provided here now information about the beneficiaries family provide information about the beneficiary spouse and add children so this may seem redundant but we will have to put it in the petitioner spouse's information again here so we start with the spouse from a Patel no middle name date of birth and the country of birth now if huija had children you would enter that information in the following boxes under person 2 and person 3 here pooja has no children so we can skip on through to beneficiaries entry information number 45 was the beneficiary ever in the United States so here Buju has not visited the United States mr. Patel and her met in India when he traveled there so we would indicate no however if you're applying for an adjustment of status or your spouse currently lives here and you still plan on filing a consular process because they'll be moving back to their foreign country later on you would indicate yes and then if the beneficiary is currently in the u.s. which is most likely the case if you're applying for an adjustment of status complete items number 46 a 246 d so here you would indicate their class of arrival their form i-94 arrival departure record number if you do not know where to locate your I 94 number it's actually available electronically on the department of homeland website which once you open the i-94 it will have your date of arrival it would also state the date of authorized stay in the US so all that information can be found on the i-94 number 47 passport number so again you would enter the passport information here even though puja has never come to the US she does have a passport number you would just go ahead and enter that here number 48 travel document number since we already entered a passport number she has no other travel documents so we will skip number 48 country of issuance for passport its India and what is the expiration date for the passport or travel documents so here it's December 31st 2025 in this box you would indicate the beneficiary's employment information so provide the beneficiary's current employment information if I clickable even if they are employed outside of the United States if the beneficiary is currently unemployed type or print unemployed an item number 51a so here mr. patel's spouse pooja is currently still a student so we would indicate that she is currently unemployed we move on to additional information about the beneficiary number 53 was the beneficiary ever in immigration proceedings since pooja has never been to the US we would indicate no but if your spouse husband you would indicate yes if you answered yes you would select the type of proceedings and provide the location and date of the proceedings in the following boxes part four is a continuation about the information about beneficiary if the beneficiaries need of written language does not use Roman letters type or print his or her name and foreign address in the need of written language here this is not applicable so we would just write n/a and leave this blank if filing for your spouse provide the last address at which you physically live together if you never live together type or print never live together in item number 59 a so if you are applying for a spouse and you both have live together or started to live together recently you would indicate the address that you live together the date it started and if you're currently still living there you would write present here here since the petitioner lives in the US and poojas in India they have never lived together so we would indicate that here moving on the beneficiary is in the US and will apply for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident at the USDA office in if you're applying for an adjustment of status you would indicate the city and state that has jurisdiction over your case so for example I am located in Edison New Jersey so cases that are filed with a physical location in Edison New Jersey would go to the Newark office in New Jersey but here huija lives abroad so the beneficiary will not apply for adjustment of status in the United States but she will apply for an immigrant visa abroad at the US Embassy or US consulate in so since she's in Mumbai the consulate that has jurisdiction is Mumbai Maharashtra and the country is India part 5 other information have you ever previously filed a petition for this beneficiary or any other alien so if you filed an i-130 form for anyone else previously you would indicate that here here mr. Patel has actually filed a petition for his sister so we would go ahead and enter that information here so if you entered yes please provide the name please the deed of filing and the result so you would enter the sister's name where was the application file so he filed from Newark New Jersey he filed on January 1st 2010 and the application was approved if you're also submitting separate petitions for other relatives provide the names of and your relationship to each relative so if you're applying for for example a child that you had with the US citizen or a stepchild you would have to file a separate I 130 form since you are a US citizen and you would have to indicate the name and the relationship for each relative you are filing for here USCIS provides a warning that USCIS investigates the claimed relationships and verifies the validity of documents you submit if you falsify a family relationship to obtain a visa USCIS may seek to have you criminally prosecuted and the penalties that would be applicable by law you may be imposed for up to five years or fined two hundred and fifty thousand dollars or both for entering into a marriage contract in order to evade any u.s. immigration law in addition you may be fined up to $10,000 and imprisoned for up to five years or both for knowingly and wilfully falsifying or concealing a material fact or using any false document in submitting this petition so just so you know immigration fraud is a crime and the warning and penalties are laid out here in the forum itself part six petitioners statement contact information declaration and signature so here you would indicate one of the following boxes here mr.
