Disclosing Contract Work on G-325

[Piefre 15]

I worked part-time, temporary, contract for a company over a period of three years that results in a very messy work history and now I'm not sure how to fill in the G-325 form for myself (I am the fiance, looking to immigrate to the US on a K1 Visa). Basically, my work involved up to a dozen short-term contract postings (one to two weeks at a time) over the span of three years (from 2005 to 2008). These postings were also at various locations so the "location of work" is a very wide range because I was moved around a lot did not have a central location.

Here's how it worked, I'd work for the company for one to two weeks then when my contract expired I'd stay unemployed for a couple of months and then go back to work when a new contract was written up where I'd go to work for them for one to two weeks then go unemployed again when the contract was up. I did this for three years, and have racked up over a dozen or so contracts and now I don't know how to declare this on the G-325.

It seems asinine to declare every single period of one or two weeks of employment and then a few months of unemployment as the list would be very long, very boring, and I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would be interested in seeing that. Do they really care that much how I spent my days during that time? Can I possibly forgo being that specific about my employment and just make a blanket statement that states "Worked from 2005 - 2008 on numerous temporary, part-time contracts in various locations for [company name]"? Or do they really want me to dig up the dozens of locations and weeks I've worked over a period of three years for a part-time, temporary position that I basically did just to earn some pocket change during my college years? Ugh. Please say no, I have nightmares about the mountain of paperwork I'd have to find and set in order.

I would list all the information that is required on the G-325A and put everything on a separate piece of paper(s).

So, you're saying I'm going to have to dig up all the paperwork for this then? :-(

Put date ranges as approx

Put a disclaimer on the bottom that this is to the best of your recollection.

All right, I'll try to sort it all out with what I can remember. I don't have all the dates I worked available and probably will not be able to retrieve them at this point in time. I get the feeling this is an RFE waiting to happen.

It is not that relevant, a bit like past travel dates, just give it your best go and give yourself a get out.
