Hello all,

We're filing I-485, I-130 and I-765 for my wife and have a little question. G-325A has 4 pages.

Page 1 ends with: (1) Ident.

Page 2 ends with: (2) Rec. Br.

Page 3 ends with: (3) C.

Page 4 ends with: (4) Consulate

Now, which one do I fill out (I'm a Citizen of United State) and how many times do I fill it out?

Which ones my wife has to fill out and how many times?

Also, do we send all I-485, I-130, I-765, and G-325As all together in the same envelope?

We highly appreciate any help you can give us. Thank you all :thumbs:

your wife needs to fill out the G325A, all four pages.

the only form that you'd fill out is the I-864 (affidavit of support).

yes, all forms: i-485. i-130, i-765, G325a, and i-864, and supporting documents can go in one envelope, that's what we did too.

good luck!

The OP states that he is filling out an I-130. The I-130 requires a G-325A for both the citizen and the spouse.

Agree, you would need to fill out G325a as well. The form has 4 identical pages. It should be in a pdf format and if you fill out first page on the computer the other three will automatically complete themselves by copying information from the first page.

You can send all these forms together.. HOWEVER, I would recommend creating two subpackages: (1) I-130 with it's supporting documents (2) I-485 + I-765 and all supporting documents. Put the sub-packages in separate envelopes. Create separate cover pages for these two sub-packages as well. Then you can put these two sub-packages in a larger USPS envelope and mail it to USCIS. The reason I recommend this is to keep your overall package structured.

Hope it helps. Good luck!

it really pains me to see these recommendations from people re adding the i-1485 etc to their original petitions. i called uscis and bugged them about this for a while, and i also consulted with an attorney before i started the process and all of them said to me to not send it until i was asked to. i am very annoyed, would this have somehow saved us a lot of time and grief? apparently uscis has issues with me sending the rest of the stuff to add to my file now as well, this is kind of a sore spot for me as i can hypothetically send the rest of the stuff in now but then they'd refuse to take it anyways? what BS :(

Maybe he meant I-131 instead of I-130.

Either way, as others have stated, fill the first form out in Adobe and it will automatically update the rest. Just make sure to tab through if you make any changes so the fields on pages 2, 3, and 4 will update.

I thought the OP is talking about Filing for Adjustment of status for his wife?Why would he needs to fill-up I-130 its a petition for an alien relative? :unsure:

Suppose a US Citizen marries someone who is in the United States already. If the spouse is not a citizen and not a green card holder, then the USC files an I-130, petition for alien relative, and, at the same time, files for adjustment of status. The "alien relative" in question is the spouse. If the spouse enters on a K1 visa, this isn't necessary. Not all adjustment of status cases require the same paperwork!

Hello all,

We're filing I-485, I-130 and I-765 for my wife and have a little question. G-325A has 4 pages.

Page 1 ends with: (1) Ident.

Page 2 ends with: (2) Rec. Br.

Page 3 ends with: (3) C.

Page 4 ends with: (4) Consulate

Now, which one do I fill out (I'm a Citizen of United State) and how many times do I fill it out?

Which ones my wife has to fill out and how many times?

Also, do we send all I-485, I-130, I-765, and G-325As all together in the same envelope?

We highly appreciate any help you can give us. Thank you all :thumbs:

You do not need a G-325a for yourself with the AOS, only for your wife. Yes, it is four pages, the names are different offices that get a copy, they all need to be filled out. The "official" form is four part, carbonless copies. Yes, you can send all forms in the same envelope.

Friends!

This is at least the second time this has been answered in a misleading way.

It is true that you do not need a G-325A for the USC for the AOS form.

However, the OP is filing an I-130. Yes, a petition for alien relative, simultaneously filed with the AOS because he and his wife are already married and in the United States. This is different from filing an AOS after a K1 fiance visa. The I-130 requires a G-325A for BOTH the USC and the spouse. I quote from the I-130 instructions:

1. A husband or wife, submit the following documentation:

What Documents Do You Need to Prove Family Relationship

D. A completed and signed Form G-325A, Biographic Information, for you and a Form G-325A for your husband or wife.

OP - It would help if you filled in your timeline

I concur, again. For the form I-130 USC as well as alien relative needs to fill out 325a. For I-485 only alien relative needs to fill G325a.

Don't be pained. You can only send the I-485 with the I-130 if you and your spouse are both already in the United States. If you need to bring your spouse here on a spousal Visa, you do it the way you have been advised.
