fiance's parent's info unknown

[fulamuso 0]

my fiance's parents have not been a part of his life since he was young and he does not know exact birth dates and locations.. can he simply put "not known" for the whole thing? or should he guess the year and put the country (they were definitely born in the UK). he's still working on getting his birth certificate, so that might have more info, but just wondering if it's even necessary. thanks for your help!

I like the "no lies" policy better, so if I didn't know any info about my parents and weren't able to call them and ask for that info, then I would state that it's not known, since you have that option on the form. Good luck!

Can you add an additional sheet that explains the situation and attatch it to the form. I agree that its better to tell no lies, if they check they may deny you or assume you have something to hide.

Others will chime in I am sure but my thinking would be to include as much information as possible and then as you state not known for others. You also can attach an additional description sheet that describes the situation also.

I would get the Birth Cert. and see what is listed on there.

You will notice the form asks for parents information "if known". Enter "unknown". We did this for my wife's father...no problem. It is necessary to enter something, do not leave this blank.

It seems strange by US standards, but in many areas of the world, especially those devastated by WW2 (or other wars) and/or political upheaval such as the FSU, these records are simply gone, lost, unavailable and birth certificates in other countries do not always give details of the child's parents, other than names. Hence the "if known" clause on the form.

yeah.. i figured i could put not known, just being ultra paranoid his father is deceased and he has no contact with mother so no way to verify.. i might do some internet research, tho

oh and thanks everyone for your replies!

As stated, "unknown" (as opposed to leaving space blank) should be written anywhere in that section where the info is just not known, but the name, place of birth and DOB should be listed on your fiance's birth certificate. I would definitely wait until he gets that document before finalizing the G-325A. He's going to need his BC for this process anyways, might as well get it at the beginning of the process.

Good luck,

If the father is deceased the correct answer is "deceased"
