I-130A

Form I-130A (officially called the “Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary,”) is used to provide additional information about the spouse beneficiary to support the Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative.

Filing the I-130 petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is the first step in the family-based green card process. Filling the I-130A is the second step.

The beneficiary is responsible for filling out and signing the I-130A, while the petitioner completes the Form I-130.

The purpose of this form is to collect additional information for a spouse beneficiary of Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. If your spouse is a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or non-citizen U.S. national who is filing Form I-130 on your behalf, you must complete and sign Form I-130A, Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary, and submit it with the Form I-130 filed by your spouse. If you reside overseas, you still must complete Form I-130A, but you do not need to sign the form.

You have the following responsibilities upon completion:

  • The signed form must be mailed directly to USCIS.
  • All the applicable USCIS fees must be paid by you
