Hi everyone,

currently having a problem with the new bio form that parents dates of birth over run the box and get truncated. My plan to overcome this was to write the dates of birth in the cover letter?

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Um I had to do a "supplemental sheet" with each bio form and attach it to the form. We can put people on the moon but cannot design a form that automatically adds a line. That's too hard.

First, make sure your version of Adobe Reader is up-to-date. The current version is 9.1.3. I've read that the form works properly with the current version.

If that fails to solve the problem, you have a couple other options:

  • Try filling it in using a two-digit date for the year rather than all four.
  • If that doesn't work, leave it blank and fill it in by hand after printing. Nothing says the form has to be completed on the computer. You could fill it in entirely by hand if you so choose.
If you're going to use an additional sheet, label it clearly with the person's name, G-325A Supplement, and the question number. Do not relegate important information to the cover letter, as it will most likely be stripped off and thrown away when the package is received.

Improved USCIS Form G-325A (Biographic Information)

Form field input font changed to allow entry of dates in the specified format and to provide more space for addresses and employment history. This is the 6/12/09 version of the form; the current version is 8/8/11, but previous versions are accepted per the USCIS forms page.

I have heard of some people leaving it blank, printing the form with the info that fits in the boxes, and then neatly hand writing the information that does not fit in black ink. Im not 100% sure, but if you're able to confirm this info...then it may be useful to you. Dont quote me on that though. As I am having a similar situation.

we had the same problem and just filled the dates in by hand.

I don't see why this would be a problem.As long as you do it neatly and they are able to read it!

Good luck!

Again, there is no requirement that the form must be filled in by computer. If you call USCIS and request them, they will send you paper forms to fill in. Completing the forms by hand, in full or in part, is perfectly acceptable.
