Stupid g-325a

[Quail 0]

I've only been working on this AOS package for an hour and I'm already about to tear my hair out.

Is it just me or does NOTHING fit in the updated G-325a? http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/g-325a.pdf

I can't put in the full birthdates of my parents or get even half of my employer information in those tiny boxes. Should I just fill them in by hand? Is that acceptable?

Also, since Im here, on the i-485, in the box that says "current USCIS status", what should I write? I came to the US on a K1 Visa...

Yup. It is a pain. Fill in what you can, and then use a bit of penmanship for the rest.

I think they are aware of the problem, but have not done anything to correct it as yet.

Status is: K1 Visa applicant

I jujst printed it out and hand wrote it. I did mine back in July, and the updated form at that time required 4 COPIES, so make 4 copies of the 325 and sign them all.

Good luck

ps. if you are unsure what to fill out in certain lines, if you use the VJ keyword search option in the top left, you can virtually find the answer to any answer and column....I used it for my forms and wizzed throuh...

Good luck!

For the Section where it asks about prior address' and employment information, I used microsoft excel and made a table and entered the data. On the sheet it self, I wrote "See attachment X" for each part.

Could we use older editions of the G-325a form? It says previous editions supported.

I'd personally stick with the newer versions. Type what you can & handwrite the sections that won't fit, that's what we did.

I left the year out in the form and hand wrote it.

You can use two digit years, when it gives you the error message just ignore it and go to the next field. OR, here is a novel concept among us oldsters...print it out blank, use an implement called a PEN (you can still buy them in antique shops) and fill it in by holding the pen in the hand you usually use for texting messages and making letter shaped movements with the tip of the pen on the paper! Use black or blue ink and print legibly.
