Hey Jy -The I-130 is not just a form, and anyone who tells you that you can u201cjust fill the form yourselfu201d is giving you the short end of the stick, answer wise. You need to treat it as a very important opening chapter of your immigration journey that will set the table for everything else you may wish to do as a U.S. immigrant. Therefore, take it very seriously. If you insist on DIY (u201cdoing it yourselfu201d) for your I-130, then these are my 3 Pro tips:Pro Tip 1: Don't do it by yourself and have it reviewed (by anyone, not just a lawyer)Pro Tip 2: Do NOT file first and ask questions laterPro Tip 3: Never lie or say something you're not 100% sure ofThe rest of my 11 Pro Tips for DIY petitioners are in the video above, where I go into each of the tips above in some detail.That being said, please note that in the above video, as in all of my answers on quasi-legal questions, I avoid giving legal advice on purpose, and my preference is that people who can always think about finding a professional, whether that's a BIA rep or a lawyer, to help them with the I-130 petition, or any other form.But, I also have way too many people that come find me after they bungle their I-130 themselves (donu2019t be that person, Jy!), so I've made this video to give those of your out there that insist on DIY a fighting chance for success.
