What is I-130A?

Form I-130A, Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary, is completed by the foreign spouse when a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident files Form I-130 for them. It gathers the spouse beneficiary’s address history, employment history for the last five years both inside and outside the United States, and information about their parents.

It is not a standalone filing. The completed I-130A goes into the same package as the I-130 petition, and USCIS uses it for background checks and to build the beneficiary’s record. There is no separate filing fee for the I-130A itself.

Who files I-130A?

  • Spouses of U.S. citizens being sponsored on a Form I-130 petition
  • Spouses of lawful permanent residents being sponsored on a Form I-130
  • Spouse beneficiaries living abroad, who must complete the form but do not need to sign it
  • Spouse beneficiaries in the United States, who complete and sign the form

Frequently asked questions

Does Form I-130A have its own filing fee?

No. It is filed together with Form I-130, and the I-130 filing fee covers the package. Check current fees at uscis.gov before filing.

Does my spouse abroad have to sign the I-130A?

No. USCIS says a spouse beneficiary living outside the United States must complete the form but does not have to sign it. A spouse in the United States must sign.

Is the I-130A required for every I-130?

It is required only when the I-130 is filed for a spouse. Petitions for parents, children, or siblings do not use the I-130A.
