[sklind42 0]

Hi everyone,

I'm a bit confused here, so please i need help with the G-325 form. First let me say, I'm filling out the form G-325 prior to me getting married (which is gonna be in Nov) so everything will be in place after the marriage.

( I have looked at the guides, but still am unsure) This question is for my bio form. It ask for my family name, will I put my married name there or my birth family name?

Thanks for any and all help with this. Everyone here is great and I wish all much luck and blessing on your journey.

Where are you getting married? In Nigeria or USA? IF K3 or CR1 you may want to marry over seas to avoid some complications that can happen when someone uses a visitors visa to enter the USA to get married.

You may want to update your profile, it makes us all guess your intentions. The only thing in your profile is your story states K1. Also when asking a question please give us more background information, it is hard to answerer a question with out knowing all the facts.

I am applying for the I-130 alien relative (spousal)

First I'm traveling to Nigeria in November and my fiance and I are getting married there in abuja. We first were going to persue the K-1 visa, but decided to go the K-3 route instead.

Next, I'm just now in the process of downloading all the forms for the I-130 & I-129F. I want to have all the information on the I-130 filled out when I travel there in a couple months and get married. The only thing I will need to put on the forms then will be the date & place of our marriage & (then) my husbands original signiture.

I'm just trying to get things a bit ahead so to speak and to make sure everything is in place when I return to the usa and send in the petition.

Thanks for any advise or info you can give me.

Cheers,

Great! You are doing it correctly!

As you can see my fiance and I are in the process of the K1, when I visited her in China, I brought a compleated G-325A form for her to sign and date. When I got back home I then did all the other forms I-129F, my G-325A, and all supporting documents, the assembly instructions and tips here were very usefull, I did not know about a signed letter of intent until I got home, so I quickly made one for myself and one for her, and emailed her letter to her to sign and date, she then photographed the letter and sent me the photo, I then printed the photo and included that also in the I-129F package.

Yes If you change your name when married you will put your married name on your G325 form there is a line below that states other names used, this is where you would place your maiden birth family name.

I hope this helps!

Good luck!

If you are gonna file CR-1 and K-3 after the marriage, you can use the married name. But your marriage certificate should reflect your married name and if you are gonna have to make your passport, then that can reflect your married name so that you have the same last name in all documents except the birth certificate.
