1. 4 copies of G-325a for each (beneficiary and petitioner)

2. Just put N/A or None

3. We did not abbreviate the country though.

Thanks so much for the quick reply..I didnt realize its 4 copies..I thought thats only for K-3(fiancee visa) because it doesnt specified on the CR-1...glad I asked...Its quite hard to fill up the application using PDF..coz some words are way too long ( like city names with country)..yikes...

Hope you dont mind if I have another question:

I kinda stuck with question #22 on form I-130 it says " Complete the information below if your relative is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status....and requiring City and State to be filled....do I have to answer to that? quite not understanding this question

Please help!

You have to answer ALL sections, leave nothing blank, use N/A if it does not apply to you.

That #22 is an either/or answer , the first part does not apply to you if you the beneficiary is not living in the U.S.

The second part requires an answer if you the beneficiary is living in the Philippines.

Hi! Hope it's ok to join in...

We're preparing for the I-130 submission, the G-325A submission part is getting me really confused that's why I'm searching the forums thoroughly for updates from recent filers.

I thought they changed the requirement to just 1 G-325A form from each since they revised the form?

The way I understand it, if you plan on applying for an AOS as well 'cause the beneficiary is in the US, you fill-up the left portion (City & State). But, if you are not going to apply for an AOS, you fill-up the right portion (City & Country). For my case, I will write down N/A on the City & State part then Manila & Philippines for the City & Country lines...

But on this case Im the petitioner..so what should I answer on #22 ..Im the one preparing the document? hope to clarify things...still confused...thanks

Oh, I just saw this thread...it might be old but answers your question!
