I130 Question

[scaperune]

Hi Guys,

I am filling in the i130 form and need your help. On the section where it requests:

-He or she arrived (Class of admission) : Would this be the status you first arrived or your current status??
-Date of Arrival to US: Would this be the date of first arrival to the US or recent date?

These questions are asking about the most recent arrival into the US.

This is just my opinion and interpretation of the forms and instructions, and is not legal advice.

Thanks for the response. I see that you have applied both I-944 and I-864, if you don't mind me asking. Would this question on I-485 : are you exempt from the public charge grounds of inadmissibility? would this be Yes or No? it is quiet confusing.

scaperune, please read the associated instructions carefully and try to figure it out for yourself based on the particulars of your situation. I agree that it's a lot of work, and it's all pretty confusing. You may want to consider hiring an immigration attorney to advise you or to prepare and file for you. It can be easy to make mistakes that lead to large delays or repercussions, which is why a lot of people hire immigration attorneys to make these filings for them.

Thank you. I read the instructions twice and i figured it out!
