just another question i want to know about what to write on the G-325A regarding employment

[weescotlassie 2]

Hi all,

I just want to know if i should fill out on a blank piece of paper as to why i'm unemployed for the G-325A form? Long story short, I have been looking after my parents for many years, my mum passed away a few years ago & now I look after my father full time as he needs 24hr care. I am looking for employment & getting something sorted with family members to help with further care for my father.

Any advice will be appreciated..

With me it wasnt an issue as I'm the beneficiary. I lost my job at the end of June and my interview was in August. I had also been unemployed sporadically and at one stage for over 6 months. I was never asked about it. Only the sponsors employment matters really. They might as at the interview but I doubt it.

No stress

Ooooo yes and no.

As long as you are 125% over the poverty line you're fine.

If you're NOT over the poverty line then you will need a co-sponsor.

If you don't work, you could have assets that cover the 125%... (say a trust fund, house etc)

My sister & her husband is gonna co-sponser my fiancee as i don't work.. All i needed to know should i fill out on a blank piece of paper for the G-325A to tell them why I'm not employed this is to file for the I-129F?

No - while the G-325A is a biographical information form - there is no reason to include a separate reason/explanation for an unemployment period - you could however list your 'unemployed' period (the time you've been taking care of your parents and were not otherwise employed) as something like "Family Caregiver From/To" (or similar) since that is what you've been doing. Be sure to not leave any unexplained gaps in the timeframe they're asking about.

Another example might be; if a person was not working but was a student during a certain period of time, they would list it as "Student From/To." (I know at least one lady - ^{not Karin} - who listed "Mom From/To" for at least a portion of the time period being asked about.)

Otto's advice is good. Why you're not working doesn't really matter (as you have the co-sponsor) but I know I too would feel better if I wrote "Family carer for #" on a form instead of "unemployed". Just like "mother" or "housewife" look better than "i sit around the house while my husband supports us 'cause I don't have my EAD yet:(" which is my personal situation.

There are no "why" questions on the G325a. If not employed, simply indicate those time periods.

Financial sponsorship is a separate issue dealt with later in the process using the I-134 and again after marriage using the I-864. When it comes to income, again there are only how much and where questions, no "why" questions. You either qualify or find a sponsor who does.

No explanation needed. Fill out the form and answer the questions. If you have been unemployed, just say so. No problem.
