Quick question for you all:

Was going over the G325A form and noticed this little question at the bottom of the form: This form is being submitted for a.)naturalization, b.) status as permanent resident, or c.)other (specify). I know it's C, but just what should I put? IR1/CR1 visa? Immigration?

I was going to ask another dumb question, but can't remember what it was. Will edit with it if I think of it. :P Hah, I thought of it. Or if not specifically it, at least another question: For those of you who submitted pictures, did you write on the back of the photos of date and what it was, or type it up and tape it to the back, or what? Did you send them in protective sheets or loose?

OH! I remembered my original second stupid question: What are ACCO fasteners? :P

Thanks for your help. *crosses fingers she'll be able to file soon*

Holding my nose and jumping off the cliff.. hope I don't hit any rocks in the water.

A#? What is that? I was considering putting date of photo, where it was taken, who's in it and relation to either me or my husband; as most of them are not just of us.

Hah, some questions I actually know the answer to.

1) Consensus is C and next to other write I-130 (assuming this it is an I-130 that is being filed).

2) You are just supposed to write the name of the person with a black felt tip pen (or similar). I put mine in small ziplock sandwich bags and clipped to the form with a paper clip.

3) Let me google that for you. :rofl: Sorry, always wanted to use that.

*laughs* Thanks for that. And I'm sorry, I just realized what photos you were referring to, and what photos I was referring to. I was referring to the photos being submitted as proof of bonafide marriage, not the passport photos in support of the G325A. *blushes* Sorry for being unclear!

at the back of the beneficiaries photo write the name and the case#

Not going to have a case # at this point due to this being an initial application.

I would just write the who/where/when on the back of each picture with a felt tip. I printed my pics (since they were all digital anyway) in a word doc and wrote the description beside each one. Had between 2 or 3 pics to a page. Cut way down on the bulk of the package. I'm submitting my package tomorrow, but I read several threads where people had no problems with that method either.
