Where AI form filling goes wrong on Form I-130
Form I-130 is about two people and two families: the petitioner, the relative, their parents, their marriages and their addresses in more than one country. A birth certificate names one set of parents, the intake another. These are the common places AI tools and autofill get it wrong. What the form requires is for USCIS to say. Follow its instructions. USCIS instructions for Form I-130.
Two sets of parents
A birth certificate names the relative’s parents, while the form also asks about the petitioner’s. Software can swap them.
An address in each country
A relative can live in the United States and keep an address abroad. Software can merge the two or use one twice.
A bank’s address
Statements in the file carry the bank’s own address. Software can take it as the petitioner’s.
Parts nobody needed
Any name in the file can look like an interpreter, a preparer or an attorney to software.
How Fyllyo takes care of them
With a test client and four documents (a self-prepared intake, the petitioner’s records with a marriage certificate, the beneficiary’s status packet and a birth certificate), Fyllyo filled 100 fields in 54 seconds. It left the petitioner’s Social Security number, which the documents show only masked, with the reason.
- Whose parent, whose child. Reads the relationship word as the documents print it, then maps it to the form’s category. In the test, “Stepchild” in the intake marked the stepchild or stepparent relationship.
- Two sets of parents. Keeps each family in its own part. In the test, the petitioner’s parents went in her part, and the names on the relative’s birth certificate stayed out of it.
- An address in each country. Fills each in its own place. In the test, the Winooski, Vermont address and the Medellín, Colombia address each went in their own part.
- A bank’s address. Fills only the petitioner’s address. In the test, the bank’s Boston address stayed off.
- Parts nobody needed. Leaves those parts empty when the documents say there is none, as the intake did in the test.
