G-325A form

[VandJ 0]

my wife and i are currently filling out the G-325A. as i am a u.s. citizen, which box should i be checking since i'm not applying for status? it's clear that my wife should be checking the "status as permanent resident," but i'm not certain what i should be checking.

furthermore, since my wife and i have to fill out individual G-325A forms am i considered the applicant on my form and she hers?

Other. You are submitting your g-325A in connection with the I-130 petition. Your wife is as well.

You are the petitioner (a fancier word for a type of applicant). Your wife is the benneficiary and once approved will become a visa applicant.

just so i'm perfectly clear:

as the petitioner, i should check "other" and write in "petitioner." my wife should check "other" as well and indicate "beneficiary" ?

but also indicate that it is in connection with an I-130 petition

Other. And then specify: I-130 petition. This is according to the sample form on the website.

We made the silly mistake of checking Status as PR as it seems to be the most logical choice, so we called up USCIS and ensured that they understood we were pursuing a CR1.

we checked

Hi all..

Ok Sachinky, so let me tell u what I understand from this topic (correct me please if I'm wrong )

When the petitioner (the US citizen) submit the G-325A Form for himself he has to check: Other, and then Specify: I130 Petition - I wrote it exactly how it fits in the space available in the petition if it's filled out on the computer.

When the beneficiary (the spouse of US citizen) submit the G-325A Form for himself he has to check: Status as Permanent Resident

Thanks all in this matter!

You would indicate status as permanent resident when submitting the g-325a with an I-485....

we're not submitting with I-485 so it looks like "other" - "I-130 Petition" for us both.

[sachinky 465]

Right. Other and then specify I-130 for BOTH.

We did status as PR for both. Which was silly. But obviously it's not an issue since the I-485 didn't go along with it. The G-325A was clearly accompanied with a I-130. It's not that hard for them to understand.

Ohhh ok Sachinky...I got it...I will check Other and then specify I 130 Petition for both...

Well I'm not sure that this is the best way but I checked both PR and other and wrote in CR1 /i-130 and it was accepted. My thought was that it covered all the bases and left nothing to chance. I need to update my time line, but we have moved along with no RFE's so far and our paperwork has moved to NVC so I don't think the way we did it was unacceptable.

Good luck and keep the faith, it is a long and trying process.
