G-325A help for I-130

[umazum00 0]

I'm a US citizen currently living in London with my spouse, who's a UK citizen. We are wanting to move back to the US and are starting with the I-130, and I'm already finding this confusing. Regarding the G-325A and the applicant's residence section, do I fill out my residence for the last 5 years on my form and her residence on her form, or do we list her residence on both? Similarly with the employment, how should this be filled out? Also, what is an Alien Registration Number, do we need one for this form, and how do we go about obtaining one if we do?

Thanks,

Mike

You need you fill out your own G-325A and your wife needs to fill out another G-325A for her. Each G-325A consists of total 4 pages. You can fill out G-325A form from USCIS website. When you would type one page, it would automatically fill out for other 3 pages. You need to print the G-325A right away. If something does not fit in the space, you can neatly write it down as well. The G-325A link is:

Anyway, you both need to list all your residence and employment of last 5 years including the current one. A born US citizen does not have any alien registration number whereas a naturalized US citizen does. If you don't have one, write "NONE."

Hope the information are helpful.

Thanks for the info.

Two more questions:

1) Regarding the residence section, I'm an American living in the UK on a residence visa for the last 6 months now, but I've also kept a US address during this time. I receive mail at both addresses. Which address should I put down as my current address?

2) What goes in the File number section (the one with an A) at the top of the G-325A form?

For file number i believe you put NONE(unless you have one) and i believe the address would depend on the visa you want to do. How long is left on your visa for here? Have you looked into DCF?

I don't think I can go the DCF route as I only have limited leave to remain and read that the US embassy in London won't process I-130's for people with limited leave to remain. I'm a little confused now about what exactly I'm supposed to do as both my spouse and I are living in the UK.

If you will soon be in America i would start the process with the address you will have on returning to America. The sooner you get things started the better. If you can wait the first part in England it will reduce the time apart that this process inevitably includes.

Good luck.

1) If you file from UK, then you can put your UK address. If you file from USA, then can put your US address as your current address.

2) It is same as alien registration number. If you don't have any, write "NONE."
