I-130 Questions

[chv]

I am a LPR, filing I-130 for my minor child. If any one had this situation please let me know the answers.

1. I am never divorced, in Page 3, Part 2, Item 21 "Date Marriage Ended (mm/dd/yyyy)" section is not allowing to type "None or N/A", so what can I write.

2. I came to USA on J1 visa, later changed to H1 visa followed by Green Card.
In page 4, Part 2, Item 40.a. Class of admission = J1 or Class on the Green Card
Item 40.b. Date of admission = Initial date of entry or Green Card approval date
Item 40.c. City or Town = Initial port of entry or City where Green Card approved
Item 40.d. State = Initial port of entry state or State where Green Card approved

N/A is not always necessary! So don't worry!

So the "N/A" requirement is widely misunderstood. Nowadays, the forms are designed to let you skip and leave blank sections that do not apply to you. Accordingly, you have two options with Page 3, Part 2. Option 1 is to leave the prior spouses field blank and don't sweat it. Option 2 is to handwrite N/A after you print off your application.

This is a helpful video our firm made that provides some other tips:

The tips there are for the I-130, but some of them are general enough to apply to you.

For your second questions, you entered on the J1 so include this date. Your initial date is the date of entry. Your initial port of entry is the airport terminal where you entered into the United States on your J1.
