Greetings VJ Community!

I'm helping my fiancée fill out her G-325A form and I used the sample form from this site as a guide. On the following section (located approximately halfway down the form) it asks, "Applicant's last address outside the United States of more than 1 year." We encountered some confusion here. My fiancée has been at her current address for less than one year. However, she was at her previous for 5.5 years. Would this be the address she would use in this question?

Near the bottom of the form; this question is asked, "List occupation abroad if not shown above. (Include information requested above.)" My fiancée had written down "None" but I followed the sample form on this site, which left that section blank and advised her to do the same.

Another thing, she had been reluctant to type in the place of birth of her parents because others had told her if she typed it, she would have to show more material about her parents. I proceeded to tell her that if she knew that information, she must disclose it because I am thinking in my mind that not disclosing is deception by omission and a discovered deception would have huge consequences. She listened to me and included the information. With that being said, has anybody ever encountered anything like that before?

Thanks in advance for your time and input!!

She would not put her current address because she has not been there longer than 1 year. She will put the address before her current one that she was at for 5.5 years

For the employment part, listing 'none' indicates that she is not working. Is this true? The example form lists that spot as blank because the information IS listed above

What more material would she have to show? Regardless, she must put the place of birth of her parents. She cannot leave that blank.

Good luck

is she born in Fuzhou or Fujian province? those are high fraud areas for China.

Perhaps she is afraid of 'that' ?

Actually, it says "last occupation..." not "list". If she's now working, it is shown above. I like to put "Above" in the first space just to make it clear. "Abroad" in this context means outside the USA.

Have her complete all information accurately. If she has something to fear, so be it. She should fear a material misrepresentation more than ANYTHING else because it can carry a lifetime ban from entering the USA.

Worry less about the material nature of your petition and what that might say about your fiancee and her family and more about the content of your relationship front-loading and the number of trips and family time you have spent together. Prove that relationship is real and reciprocal and it doesn't matter so much about where she is from. Read about the "red flags" and make sure you address and cover them and don't leave any open areas for Kung Fu chops to the body come interview time. No matter what, BE TRUTHFUL....or it will be a waste of your time, money, and emotional stability at some point down the road. :thumbs:

FWIW, anything about her and her parents, should be 'available' on her hukuo book.

So if what's on the G-325A matches what's in her hukuo book, life is golden.

If she has 'doctored Chinese papers', for any reason, I'd be suspicious of something else.
