Hi all,

I am in the midst of filling out the G-325A for myself (spouse of US citizen) and it asked for the applicant's residences over the past 5 years. As I am currently living in Canada, I listed my current address (which I have been at for 5 years). Now, the next section asked for 'applicant's last address outside of the US of more than a year," do I just list my current address again? The form doesnt allow me to type 'present time' for the period living from-to. Should I be leaving this blank as I indicated in the previous section that I am still and will be living at my address in Canada until my Visa is approved?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you would answer the question as stated :)

Put your last address outside of the US that was more than one year .

It doesn't matter if it is "present time" - they just want the last address.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

Thanks in advance.

After you print the form out, write in 'to present' or 'present time' - never leave a field blank :)

another question: we are filing for the CR-1, on the section where it states:

"This form is submitted in connection with..."

I should be writing I-130 petition??

To help me with filling out my forms I used PDF Filler available at www.pdffiller.com

I found it to be an indispensible tool to help with the ridiculous problem of filling in lengthy foreign addresses, changing text sizes and dealing with limitations of trying to fill certain fields with values like "Present Time" or "NONE" or "N/A".

You can give it a free trial to see if it will work for you

Hope it helps !

Simply write "Present address above" in the first space and leave it at that. They'll get the message.

Another question...on my husband's G-325A, for citizenship, what exactly should he write? American, United States, or USA?

It seems like a simple thing however we got into a discussion on how technically I'm American (North American, that is) so he said to put USA. Then when he crossed the border to come visit me, they said "American?"
