G-325a Question~ What to fill in for...

[win.lai1 0]

Hi all,

This is my first post as I am starting this journey with my fiancee to adjust her status from F-1 to PR after we get married. My fiancee is currently in the States on an F-1 Visa while working under the Optional Program.

Anyways, we are going to marry soon and will be concurrently filing the I-130 and I-485. I am a USC and realize that we both each have to file a G-325a form. Though the search button box helped (a little), I wanted a solid answer for my situation. So please, forgive me if this has been clearly stated many times before as I want this to be done right the first time through.

Question:

When they ask: "This form is submitted in connection with an applicant for: Naturalization, Status as Permanent Resident, or Other..."

Since I am the USC filing the I-130, my G-325a form I will check 'Other' and fill in "I-130."

For my fiancee filing her G-325a with her I-485, she will check "Status as Permanent Resident."

Am I correct?

Many thanks to all as this forum has been a life saver so far, and Happy New Years!

I think you are right on that. I'm getting burned out a little bit over the whole paperwork. But thanks to visajourney, I think it'll work out.

Good luck to you guys!

Thanks a lot. I'm sure many of us over analyze many of these questions, but we really don't want to waste time.

Smooth journey to you too, Nicki.

Hi and welcome to Visajourney,

yes, you are right, the US Citizen fills out the I-130 and mentions it in their Biographic G-325A

And for your spouse, she will enter AOS I-485 and if applicable also the application for Work Permit I-751,

if needed the Travel Permit, too. (I filed mine this way, except no travel permit)

Good luck on your immigration journey!!

It's free too if I file the I-751 and Travel Permit at the same time as I-485!?

Yep. The fee is $420 for the I-130 and $1070 for the I-485, the I-765, and the I-131 (it says it in the I-485 instructions).

FWIW, I think I put "in conjunction with status as PR" in that box even though I am the citizen. It might be wrong but it wasn't a problem. What you suggest sounds fine and probably more correct, but it won't make or break the application.

Thanks again Harpa!!
