Problems with the G-325 form

[GJen 9]

So I'm trying to fill out the form G-235 But I have a problem with the font of the form in my mother's birth date it should be 12/24/1950 ... but it looks more like 12/24/19 because the font size its just TOO big.. it's 12!!! so I try to change it and it's not letting me.. it's like they dont allow to change the font size.. what should I do? I already tried printing it off and see if it fits then but it doesnt.. I'm sooo about to throw my pc out of the window.. help pleasee!!!

LOTS of peeps are having the same problem with the new G325A. Someone posted how to make it work. Maybe they'll jump in.

I had the same problem. I just left it blank and hand write it in after I print it out.

Don't worry-just correct it with a pen. I had to write some stuff in also (i.e. when I typed my occupation online, it didn't entirely fit in the space). I'm computer illiterate and didn't have the patience to try to fix it on the computer!

So do you think it will be okay if I hand write it? I really don't want to get a RFE... plus a friend of mine is taking the forms with her to the USA and give it to my fiance since mail sucks here in Venezuela.. so I dont want to know later that the forms dont work! lol cuz thiis is our chance to get them up there soon!... so I just want to make sure that I wont get a RFE if I handwrite some of the answers...

I also have a doubt where it says "Applicant's last address outside the United States of more than one year." I'm guessing I just have to put my current address since I'm not living in the USA right now...and where it says "To Month Year" I'll just answer "present" is that alright?? and I guess I'll handwrite that too cuz it doesnt fit in the blank.. thanks

It is a known issue with the form - hopefully they will correct the document one of these days... (don't hold your breath though)...

Hand-writing on the form is perfectly fine.

Yes - last address outside the US (for you) would be your current address.

Mine was handwritten. No RFE, so its definitely not a problem.

Skip it. Print it, and write it by hand. Do not waste time on government SNAFUs, ink is perfectly acceptable in whole or part on any form.

Congratulations on finally getting to the petition!

Adobe Reader has a tool call typewriter!

Open your g-325a.pdf file

The new form only prints out one copy. Does this mean they only need one copy now and not four?

The typewriter tool does not work in the fillable portions of the form.

You can leave it blank, print it and handwrite it, OR use a two digit year. It will give you an error message, but just keep going.

Good to see you are finally filing the papers! Good luck Jen

This hasn't really been clarified by USCIS yet (to my knowledge...), so to be safe, always always ALWAYS print FOUR! Better safe than RFE, ya know? GOOD LUCK!
