G-325A & Letter of Intent questions

[saturnus 0]

G-325A

1. Some areas of the form are too small to fit the information. For example, my finance is Polish and the length of her birth city is too long to fit into the field. Her middle name is also long and difficult to fit into the field. How does she properly provide that information?

I see in examples that you can attach a sheet with "Form G325A, Q: Employment last give years" as the title . Can this be done for other parts of the form as well where there is not enough space to fit? We are afraid of having to write so small that they will RFE because it cannot be read.

2. Some fields ask for the address of previous marriage/divorce but do not give enough room to give the full address. Are they only looking for the county it was performed in?

Letter of Intent

1. I believe this is needed for the initial packet of information I send in, but the example template from this site talks about it being written for the interview itself.

1a. Should there be two letters, one to the embassy here and another to the embassy where she lives?

You need two letters of intent. Several months will probably have gone by between the first I-129F packet and your interview, and they want to make sure you still love each other. So, you both write new letters for the interview restating your continued desire to marry. :-) Make sure you do this because at our interview they asked questions about them. Good luck!

Also yes you can add info for any question that doesn't have enough space on the attachment. You need to identify the question number you are attaching info for. Also identify the page with A#, Name or something (I forget exactly its on the instructions) so they know which and whose document the attachment is for.

FYI - London doesn't require an updated letter of intent; they won't even look at it.

I typed all the things that behaved in the forms (and I DID look for ones other formats and found none.) Then I printed in all caps very small in black ink in all the weird spots that wouldn't cooperate. Not approved, yet, but it says type or print.

PS my lawyer Oked the documents I did. (He did the first set for the USCIS, so I don't know what he did for that round.)

But can you generalize that to every case? Your case was probably slam dunk / approved. But what if a case has some red flags somewhere or the CO just had a case where it looked like fraud. I'm just saying that when it comes down to whether your Visa gets approved or in AP or denied. I would rather go way above the 'requirements' rather than risk the possibility of failure.

If it is not on the required documents list on your appointment letter, how can an applicant know to come with and updated letter or anything else for that matter? You provide what the consulate wants. If the consulate wants it they will request it. What value does an updated letter of intent do anyway? Nothing.

Well don't the VJ gudes seem to recommend it? So many people here say that, so they got that info somewhere. You want to show that your relationship is ongoing don't you, so thats just one way among the million others. My initial respone wasn't about the letter of intent but I see no harm in it.

If the consulate has to request later you've already broken your golden moment. Ideally you would like to see the Visa given to your fiance on the same day, so that you can go back to the US together.

Do you believe that everyone who is in the visa process is on VJ? I would say it is consulate specific answer and the majority (if not super majority) of the consulates do not require it or request it at any time

P.S. Rarely does your interview letter list all the things that your CO could ask you. I communicated with one lady whose fiance had a 4 hour interview and then got put on AP at the consulate my fiance will be interviewing at. So brace yourself and be prepared is my reccomendation.

Look I'm not arguing anything but knowing human nature anything goes. Being prepared for the works is always a good idea.

Thank for the information. I will put it to good use.

Some additional questions:

I am also wondering about the Date and Place of Marriage and Date and Place of Termination of Marriage fields. Is that just the date and the country, or do they expect more than that? How detailed does it need to be?

There is not enough space to put a full address, and if we need to expand it onto another (properly titled) peice of paper, what do we put on the main G-325A form?

Well, here's the best answer I can give you. You fill the G-325A according to a specific application, which in thisa case is the I-129F. Here are the I-129F instructions: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-129finstr.pdf

Step 1. 2. talks about if extra space is needed. Item 6. A. talks about the G-325A and not having to repeat info on it that was already listed on the I-129F.

As far as if there's not enough space you can do something like abbreviate or 'See Attachment' or both. There's no clear reference about that.

On the title of the attachment you can say, G-325A Attachment for <Fiance First> <Fiance Last> A# None

Question X

Part Y:

Good luck!

[LookyWhatIFound 38]

About termination of marriages, it seems like city and/or state, country might be good, if they fit. I think most important is they want to know you are both divorced. Remember you are also going to provide divorce certificates, either here or at the embassy so they will get all that info one way or another.

I can't tell you for sure. But I think your best is probably good enough.

I'm a little confused on exactly how that should be written.

"G-325A Attachment for Date and Place of Marriage and Date and Place of Termination of Marriage A# None"

What is the "A# None", is that the alien registration #?

In this case I don't think there would be "Part Y" as there is no header for that question, so it would simply be...

Question: Date and Place of Marriage

<answer in full>

Question: Date and Place of Termination of Marriage

<answer in full>

Correct?
