Changing Item on G325A Form Before Submission?

[Adam & May 4]

Greetings Vjers!

My fiancee filled out and signed her G325A form and sent it to me via FedEx. She shared her form with me before she mailed it but I missed an obvious mistake. In her employment section she forgot to list a period of unemployment that occurred between her current job and the second one listed. Although she only has 3 jobs she used all 5 lines in the employment section due to the length of the Company name and address (see example below)

example

The question is, what now? I would like to submit our package this week. Here are the options I can think of...

Option #1

Should I use white out or correction tape on the first 2 entries, so that I can hand write her current job to make it fit in the top line and unemployed in the second line.

Option #2

I could add "Unemployed" under Job Title and the dates under Start and End dates of the second line even though the address contination is in the beginning of the second line (see below).

Option #3

I have a set of blank G325A (the previous form) that she signed on my last visit to the Philippines. There is no way I can use a PC to fill these out and will have to fill them out be hand (I did this and sometimes I had to write VERY small).

Since her forms were on the previous form (still acceptable) I reprinted mine using the old form.

Has anyone used white out or correction tape on their form?

Thanks in advance

I would use your option 2.

White-out or correction tape are both fine. My wife's signature was accomplished by cutting an affixing a pre-signed mailing label.

Alternatively, you could redo the form on your PC and type "will sign at Consulate" in the signature block. The key is to get the information in to the package. It's purely biographical.

Pushbrk-

Greetings.

They will not receive a RFE for an unsigned G-325A?

it will trigger the RFE if it is not signed and for the question above it really doesnt matter if it is blank self explanatory that the blank was unemployed time

It's possible but many unsigned G325a's have been submitted without incident. Check out the interview with the VSC director pinned at the top of this forum.

I still recommend option 2 in this case though.
