the sample G-325A does NOT address my questions...need some help please

[vj. 0]

Hello all.

I married my wife in January. She is in Indonesia.

We are preparing a form I-130 to file..it requires the G-325A. this led to a few questions....If any of you could help clarify, it would be appreciated. (the sample G-325A does NOT address my questions-so I am hoping you who have already filed could clarify).

** the box "City and Country of Residence for her Father"..........father is dead....is there some particular verbiage that is needed ? e.g., "deceased" or does uscis want to know where he last lived?

** the box "place of marriage" do they need a church name and city? or city and country?

** under "applicant's residence last five years" section....the sample G-325A form shows 2 addresses listed even though the first exceeds the 5 years required. question: can I list only one address if I have been there for more than 5 years?

** under "applicant's employment last five years" ... my wife does not have 5 years history employment (only about 4 years)....should the last year be listed as "unemployed" or list her school and her occupation as "student"

** under same area (employment)..the boxes for "month" are very small....what is acceptable designations for months e.g., November...can it be shortened to Nov. ? or filed with numbers ? e.g., "11"

** in box "this form submitted in connection with..." if checking "other" what is the correct thing to place here? e.g., "I-130 petition" ? the sample G325A form shows "I-129F petition" however I must file the 130 prior to the 129F

********* Thanks for all the help in letting me know how you guys answered these things. I would rather seek clarification from you guys than have the uscis kick a form back because it did not match their approved verbiage.

Fill it out to the best of your ability and that's it. Not a lot of attention it paid to this form. It's used only for statistical reference by other government agencies. All of the data that will affect your immigration will be requested on other forms.
