is she gonna use Jane Smith or Jane Dough?

I put my married name on our I-130 and G-325A. Whether or not she intends to take your family name after you are married is up to her/both of you. Whatever family name she decides to keep or take, stick with it and make sure it is reflected on all your official documents.

2. under the part b8. date and place of marriage, : there not much enough space for the place of marriage. unfrotunately , the address where we plan to

get marry is very long. what should i do?

You can either:

- create a Word document (make sure your name is at the top of the sheet and which form it will be attached to) and type the information there.

OR

- type the information that fits in the spaces provided, print the form then handwrite the rest of the information (yes, that's allowed)

3. under part c.19. phone number : is it ok to put none? coz we really dont have a telephone. we make use of our cellphone most of the time.

Type your mobile number.

g325a form

1. the space for Place of Marriage is too short.. the address where we plan to get marry is too long. what should I do.?

See my answer above in #2.

DS-230 part 1.

1 if the address I put on number 10 ( permanent address in the US where you intend to live) is the same. should i still put that on the number 11 ( address in

the US where you want your Permanent Resident Card mailed) or just leave it blank or put the word ( the same with number 10?)

Type Same address as #10.

2. under numbr 22. current address of father of the USC, should i still fill it up even if he died 10 years ago? or just put N/A then put the year of death on number 23?

Type Deceased, then leave the year blank...I don't think the form will allow you to type N/A. You can handwrite N/A later.

3. under number 32. in what occupation do you intend to work in the US, am i just allowed to put one possible occupation? what If I am a Nurse, and also a Physical therapist and an Accountant? can i put multiple possible occupations? im bothered because the sentence is singlular in nature ( occupation, not occupations.lol)

Doesn't matter. Either pick one or type them all separated with forward slashes. /

4. under number 33. list below all educational institution attented, should i start to fill up the latest? or the first as in my elementary ? and what if,

the spaces are not enough, I can only see four lines for the educational institutions. mine is 6. what should I do?

Start with the most recent education (university/college). Then see my answer above in #2.

5. under number 35. list dates of all previous visits to or residence in the US, ( if never, write never) .my question is, which space will i write the

word never?. please help

Just type Never in the first box.

choice of address and agent.

who should fill this up? me, the beneficiary or my soon to be wife who is the USC?

You. You may specify your wife as your choice of agent.

looking forward to your response.. thank you...

You do not submit the Ds-230 now, leave that alone for the moment. When it is time, the beneficiary will complete the DS230. However, if you are looking to have all the info so the beneficary can just sign part 1, I'll answer your questions

If a space is too small, simply put 'see attached' in the space and provide a separate sheet of paper with the info that is missing.

It is OK to put none if there is really no phone number. If there is, please put it.

NEVER leave anything blank, if an answer is the same as a previous answer, no harm in putting it twice.

If the father is dead, obviously he doesn't have a current address. You may put 'none' here.

Clearly you intend to work in one field, not many. This does not mean you MUST enter that field of work, so pick one and put it there. Seriously, what field would you like to work in?

I put all educational institutions attended. If there is not enough space, again, put 'see attached' and add another sheet of paper

In number 35, write 'none' on the first available line

Choice of agent is filled out by the beneficiary

Good luck

is she gonna use Jane Smith or Jane Dough?

Assuming that you are already married, the USC will use your family name for last name, and not her maiden name. It will then be, Jane Dough.

2. under the part b8. date and place of marriage, : there not much enough space for the place of marriage. unfrotunately , the address where we plan to

get marry is very long. what should i do?

Anytime when there is not enough space, just write (print, not cursive) the required info. The other fields you can use the computer.

3. under part c.19. phone number : is it ok to put none? coz we really dont have a telephone. we make use of our cellphone most of the time.

If you have a cell phone, I would use that number. Be sure to include +63 + area code + number. Remember, it is asking for a phone number. It does not specify a landline phone or a cell phone. It is better to include your cell number, in my opinion.

g325a form

1. the space for Place of Marriage is too short.. the address where we plan to get marry is too long. what should I do.?

Again, if that field is too short, write (print) clearly the information. The other fields you can use your computer.

DS-230 part 1.

1 if the address I put on number 10 ( permanent address in the US where you intend to live) is the same. should i still put that on the number 11 ( address in

the US where you want your Permanent Resident Card mailed) or just leave it blank or put the word ( the same with number 10?)

Yes, I would type the same address in both fields. I assume you will be living at that address, right?

2. under numbr 22. current address of father of the USC, should i still fill it up even if he died 10 years ago? or just put N/A then put the year of death on number 23?

You can place "N/A" If ever this is questioned during the interview, you or your spouse can elaborate.

3. under number 32. in what occupation do you intend to work in the US, am i just allowed to put one possible occupation? what If I am a Nurse, and also a Physical therapist and an Accountant? can i put multiple possible occupations? im bothered because the sentence is singlular in nature ( occupation, not occupations.lol)

Pinoy talaga! Multi-talented a. If you feel comfortable listing all your credentials, do it. I would place just one, your primary occupation. Are you really planning to do all three professions?

4. under number 33. list below all educational institution attented, should i start to fill up the latest? or the first as in my elementary ? and what if,

the spaces are not enough, I can only see four lines for the educational institutions. mine is 6. what should I do?

Yes, I would place the most recent on the top of the list, then work backwards. In the first line, the time from would be "month/year to Present", for example.

5. under number 35. list dates of all previous visits to or residence in the US, ( if never, write never) .my question is, which space will i write the

word never?. please help

I would write "Never" in all fields (ie From/To, Location, Type of Visa, etc)

choice of address and agent.

who should fill this up? me, the beneficiary or my soon to be wife who is the USC?

The beneficiary completes this. You, the beneficiary, can appoint your wife, the petitioner, as your choice of agent. She will act on your behalf, ie she will be designated to receive correspondence on your behalf.

looking forward to your response.. thank you...

Hope this helps! Good luck!

With an RN and PT license here, you have many options. I guess that is one thing nice about the Philippines...when there's no job...just go to school and get another degree!

Good luck with you journey and keep us updated as well! God bless
