Which edition of Form I-130A is current?
The current edition of Form I-130A is dated 04/01/24. The edition date is printed at the bottom of every page, and every page you file must come from that same edition — USCIS rejects filings made on a superseded edition. Download a fresh copy from uscis.gov right before you file and check the date again.
Form I-130A shares the Form I-130 page, instructions and edition date. Both are on the 04/01/24 edition, and both must come from that same edition.
Two different dates — don't mix them up. 04/01/24 is Form I-130A's own edition date, printed on the form. 10/07/26 is the edition of USCIS Form G-1055, the fee schedule the amounts above come from. They are two separate documents that change on separate timetables; only the 04/01/24 date is what USCIS checks on your form.
Who files Form I-130A?
The spouse beneficiary — not the petitioner. It is required for every I-130 filed for a spouse, and for no other relationship.
Most common I-130A mistakes that cause rejections
USCIS rejects or issues a Request for Evidence on filings every day for small, fixable errors. These are the immigration errors USCIS rejects forms for across every form type; for I-130A, the ones we see most often are:
- Not filing it at all with a spousal I-130 — the form itself warns that USCIS may DENY the I-130 if the supplement is incomplete or missing.
- The petitioner signing it instead of the spouse beneficiary.
- A gap or overlap in the five years of physical addresses in Part 1, or in the five years of employment in Parts 2 and 3.
- Omitting the last address outside the United States of more than one year, even when it is already listed in the five-year history.
- Leaving it unsigned by a spouse beneficiary who is inside the United States.

How to file Form I-130A without getting rejected
- Use the current edition. USCIS rejects outdated editions — check the date printed at the bottom of the form (it should read 04/01/24) against uscis.gov.
- Answer every field. Write “N/A” or “None” instead of leaving anything blank — blanks are a leading rejection cause.
- Be consistent. Your name, A-Number, and dates must match exactly across every form and supporting document. Filing it with the other forms of a family green card package? Check your whole package, free — see whether names, dates of birth, A-Number and address match from form to form.
- Sign and date by hand. Only a handwritten ink signature — or a scan, photocopy, or fax of one — is valid on a paper I-130A. A typed name, a cursive or script font, a stamp, or e-signature software output (such as DocuSign) is not. Electronic signatures count only when captured through a USCIS online account during online filing. Under the DHS signature rule effective 07/10/2026, an invalid signature on a paper filing can be denied — USCIS keeps the filing fee and there is no opportunity to cure — not merely rejected.
- Translate foreign documents. Include a complete certified English translation of anything not in English.
- Pay the exact fee. Use the fee calculator and confirm on uscis.gov — the wrong amount gets the package returned.
