Help with I-130/G-325A filing

[so2008 0]

I have submitted I-130/G-325A to my wife and received NOA1 already. I have two issues with my application

1- I filled my G-325A and signed it. I filled my wife G-325A as well and signed it for her since she is not here (she did not sign it I am the one who type her name)

Do I have to send her G-325A again with her signature (her signature is not even in English since her native language is Arabic) or just leave it like that and assuming they will not catch it.

2- I submitted the translated marriage certificate only (English). In other mean, i did not send the copy of the one that in Arabic . Do I have to send the Arabic one or just leave it like that.

I will appreciate any input.

Thank you for your input I think I did not explain/express myself well. I did not signed her name, here what I did.

I thought I am the one who suppose to fill all the required documents. In the line stated Applicant signature(her G325A), I typed her name in English and added my signature underneath her name. SO the signature is really my signature. In other mean, I am trying to tell USCIS that I am the one who is filing for her.

"her signature is not even in English since her native language is Arabic"

I didn't realize signatures could written in a different language!

You "may" get lucky and USCIS won't discover your forgery.

Doubt if USCIS has any of her signatures to compare with.

What will you do on the next forms?. Ex. DS 230.

Most all of us went thru the hassle of getting the beneficiaries signatures from overseas.

They did catch me when I blew it and sent a copy with my signature. Printers are to good now. Only way you could tell the difference was the ink shinned on the original.

i agree with Mike...how could u think of signing (or typing) the G-325a form for your wife...thats like u signing someone else's check and sending it to the bank to get a payment.....FRAUD!!

also u need to send in a copy of the original marriage certificate also..

however, i disagree with Mike regarding withdrawing the application...that may work against since u will give them a reason why u r withdrawing ur application...and if u tell them that u signed for ur wife...theres going to b a problem..

i think the best option for you is to seek legal advise and get this straigtened out before its too late...good luck!!

There is no Fraud, it just misunderstanding on how the form should be filled. As I mentioned, I typed her name and signed my name underneath it which mean I am the one who filled the application. It will be fraud, if I pretend that I was her and intentionally tried to copy her signature. Do you agree

[przy 0]

A typed signature is sometimes just as valid as an original signature.... I wouldn't assume that the VSC is going to assume your intentions in this case.... I would have it done the right way.... That's my 2 cents.

I'd just do nothing. USCIS actually has a rule that they won't reject or deny an otherwise properly filed petition for the lack of a signature on a

G325a. If you signed your name in Arabic, they probably won't even notice anyway.

Yes, a signature is a signature, so of course it can be in any alphabet including totally illegible.

Forging your fiance(e)'s signature would be a bad idea but signing for a spouse is pretty common. It's only going to be a problem if the spouse makes an issue of it. The important signature for the beneficiary will be on the visa application where most if not all the G325a data is repeated anyway.

[Dakine 26]

I'd wait and see what happens and if it flies be sure she signs all the upcoming forms herself.

It's a hassle but we all did it.

Just get started way ahead of time with the DS 3032 and DS 230. Think she can email the DS 3032 now tho.

Thank you, you make feel better, I talked with many of people from my country, most of them stated they did what I did. I am LPR not USC yet. I will apply to my Citizen two month from now. my concern is I typed her name in English and added my signature above her name. I typed her name is Arabic in the next field(the entry under the signature . My friend advised that, I should leave like that. I am wondering if withdraw the case and reapply is good idea.

I will make sure that she signed the DS3032 and DS 230 when I got there. If DS 3032 could be filed by email, what about her signature.

Since you are applying as a LPR it will take at least 5+ years to complete the process. Better to wait and file when you get your USC as it will only take about a year then. I guess you could continue the process and upgrade when you get USC. I heard something negative about doing so tho. Can't remember what tho.

I will get my USC sometime around 3/2009. Can I just send a new I-130. Do I have to mentioned my I-130 that I submitted when I am LPR. One of my friend (USC) stated he filed his I-130 to VSC without the G325a, he case got approved. The NVC then asked him about the G325a to be able to send his case to the embassy. Is that mean G325a is not required for VSC to approve the I-130

I completely agree with pushbrk. However, I think this question is very relevant and deserves more attention. I have asked myself who is the "applicant" both doing my petition, and when trying to help others. I was asked this very question yesterday, I don't have a good answer. There is nothing in the instructions that truely clarifies this issue.

I always had the person that the information is about sign and fill out in "the box outlined by heavy border." Seemed sensible. The G-325a asks for "Applicant's" residences, last address outside the US, and employment history. Obviously, they mean the person that the information is about. It would follow that that person should sign the G-325a.

However, who really is the applicant? This is a stretch, but here goes.

The USCIS site cover page for the G-325a states:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Purpose of Form :

To provide biographic information on an alien. You file this form only as instructed on another Immigration application or petition.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Who is filing the application or petition? Technically, I am the applicant, aren't I?

The I-130 instructions state:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D. A completed and signed Form G-325A, Biographic Information, for you and a Form G-325A for your husband or wife. Except for your name and signature you do not have to repeat on Form G-325A the information given on your Form I-130 petition.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The I-129f instruction is almost word for word the same as the I-130 instruction.

Who are they referring to in "your name and signature you..."? I could twist this to mean that I should sign the G-325a and not the beneficiary.

It cost me lots of money to have my wife sign the G-325a. The Postal system in the Philippines can NOT be trusted to deliver mail from the USA, at least in my experience. Was this a necessary expense? I don't know. I only know that requiring a signature from abroad for papers being filed in the USA seems unreasonable. I could understand signing it at the Embassy during the visa application process.

In short, I'll probably not put this idea to the test for the same reason as almost everyone else: Fear of the USCIS, (or maybe just rejection!)

Comments? Anyone been there done that?

However, who really is the applicant? This is a stretch, but here goes.

The USCIS site cover page for the G-325a states:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Purpose of Form :

To provide biographic information on an alien. You file this form only as instructed on another Immigration application or petition.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Who is filing the application or petition? Technically, I am the applicant, aren't I?

The I-130 instructions state:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D. A completed and signed Form G-325A, Biographic Information, for you and a Form G-325A for your husband or wife. Except for your name and signature you do not have to repeat on Form G-325A the information given on your Form I-130 petition.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The I-129f instruction is almost word for word the same as the I-130 instruction.

Who are they referring to in "your name and signature you..."? I could twist this to mean that I should sign the G-325a and not the beneficiary.

It cost me lots of money to have my wife sign the G-325a. The Postal system in the Philippines can NOT be trusted to deliver mail from the USA, at least in my experience. Was this a necessary expense? I don't know. I only know that requiring a signature from abroad for papers being filed in the USA seems unreasonable. I could understand signing it at the Embassy during the visa application process.

In short, I'll probably not put this idea to the test for the same reason as almost everyone else: Fear of the USCIS, (or maybe just rejection!)

Comments? Anyone been there done that?

This instruction/word what let me assume I am the one who suppose to sign. (D. A completed and signed Form G-325A, Biographic Information, for you and a Form G-325A for your husband or wife.
