FILING THE K-3

[Laura_and_IanM 0]

OK, SO I AM SAT HERE STARTING TO FILL OUT THE FORMS WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO! NOW LIKE I SAID THERE WOULD BE, I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS. FIRST ONE IS AOUT THE G-325A FORM. THERE IS A BOX RIGHT NEXT TO THE SIGNATURE OF APPLICANT THAT SAYS THIS FORM IS SUBMITTED IN CONNECTION WITH APPLICATION FOR: NATURALIZATION, STATUS AS PERMANENT RESIDENT AND OTHER (SPECIFY). WHICH BOX DO I CHECK FOR MYSELF AND WHAT BOX DO I CHECK FOR MY HUSBAND WHEN I DO HIS SET?

THE NEXT QUESTION WOULD BE ABOUT THE DS-230 FORM. IT IS ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT MY FATHER WITH WHOM I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. WHAT DO I PUT IF I DONT KNOW ANYTHING? (AND BEFORE ANYONE SUGGESTS THAT I ASK MY MOTHER OR ANY OF MY FAMILY MEMEBERS THAT WOULD KNOW, I DONT SPEAK TO ANY OF MY FAMILY AND THEY DONT SPEAK TO ME LOL) ALSO, IT ASKS FOR MY MOTHERS FAMILY NAME GIVEN AT BIRTH, MY GRANDMOTHER AND MY BIOLOGICAL GRANDFATHER GOT A DIVORCE AND MY MOTHER WAS THEN ADOPTED BY HER STEP FATHER WHEN MY GRANDMOTHER REMARRIED, SO WHAT NAME DO I USE? HER ADOPTED NAME OR HER NAME THAT WAS LEGALLY GIVEN AT BIRTH?

SORRY FOR THAT BUT APPRECIATE ANY HELP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

THANKS AGAIN!!

I check the box with other on both our G325A and wrote K3-Sposal Visa

I am not too sure how to ansewr this one. IMO I woud say use the name that all her papers are in. About your father I would say N/A or NONE-which ever seems more approriate. I will be using N/A for my father.

On the G-325A I marked the "status as permanent resident" box. I have read on these boards that it is an old form & that section isn't really crucial, so whichever way you go will probably be just fine.

Regarding the DS-230, the form wants your mother's maiden name, so it seems her adopted name would be the correct one. I am in the same boat as you with regards to my father, so where it asks about his current residence I just put N/A because I really don't have an answer. I doubt we're the only people they've encountered with this issue, so it should be fine. Just remember to answer truthfully - if you don't know, you don't know.
