How does one handle Item 57 on I-130 if the beneficiary lives in the US but has a foreign name?
<p>On <a href="https://www.uscis.gov/i-130" rel="nofollow noreferrer">USCIS I-130</a>, Part 4, Item 57, it asks for the name and foreign address.</p>

<p>However, my spouse is living in the US with me, so does not currently have a foreign address.</p>

<p>Should I just write the name in characters and leave the foreign address blank, or fill in our state in the Province field?</p>

<p>You should write the name in characters as the form states and the address request in that part of the form is for the person's address, not necessarily a foreign address, so simply write in the address where the person resides.</p>

<p>Basically, I think the correct way to answer this question is if the beneficiary's name and/or address is in a non-Latin script, write it in its original script here.</p>

<p>So in this case, the beneficiary's name is in a non-Latin script, but the address isn't, so you should only fill in #57a-c, and leave #58a-f blank (or write something like "(in Roman letters)" in #58a).</p>

<p>Conversely, if your beneficiary's name is in a Latin script, but their address isn't (e.g. if they are currently in a foreign country that uses a non-Latin script), then I think #57a-c should be blank, but #58a-f should be filled.</p>
