A Form I-130A, Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary (“Form I-130A”) is a supplemental form that is submitted with a Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative and supplemental documentation to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”). A Form I-130A is only required when a U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident (“Green Card Holder”) is petitioning his or her foreign spouse. A Form I-130A is not required for all other Form I-130 filings, for example, for parents and children.
The Form I-130A asks for specific information related to the foreign spouse. This includes the names, place of birth, and birth dates of his or her parents; previous and current addresses, previous marriages (if any); and other questions which the foreign spouse must answer truthfully.
Once completed and submitted with the accompanying Form I-130 Petition, USCIS will commence processing. If USCIS determines that any additional information is needed, it will send out a Request for Evidence also known as an RFE.
