G-325a foreign address

[StraightShooter 62]

I've searched the forum... even used advanced search, but have not found the answer I need. I'm the USC petitioner.

For the section on the G-325a where it says "Applicant's last address outside the United States for more than 1 year."

Are they looking for domicile like on the i-134 form? On that form, I put my age and stated that I have resided in the US for my entire life.

The issue... A long time ago, in a land far, far away, I was in the military stationed overseas but still had my US APO Box as my "official" address. All contact was via that address.

But, I did serve and live overseas for 19 months, 8 days and 3 hours.

Do I show that address on both forms, neither form or what?

I had a similar situation. My mom, who is a lawyer with some immigration training though not an expert, recommended that I put down the address where I actually lived (ie overseas) but add a note that my mailing address during that time was XYZ IN, USA. I did that on the G325A and on the 134a put down that overseas address as well. I don't know if that's the "right" way (since I have yet to see USCIS define "residence" anywhere) but I figured it was full disclosure and got through with no RFEs.

hope that helps!

Active duty service overseas is NOT counted as having "resided" overseas for immigration purposes

Sounds like you never had an address outside of the US. I'd put None in that section. This is really not an issue; they have all your background information anyway and know where you have been.

Hmmm... I guess I need to provide just a tad more info.

Yes, I had a physical address overseas. I even still have the in-country drivers license I had back then, which was required because US licenses were not honored for more than a week or so.

My concern is that on the I-134 that I've been advised that "domicile" is what they're seeking and they really aren't concerned with overseas addresses from military service.

Is that the same case on the G-325a?

Thanks again.

They are two different documents. I'd list the foreign address; you really can't go wrong if you do. This is not a show-stopper.

My USC fiance was also in the military and stationed overseas. He put his last overseas residential address on the G-325a, we didn't get any RFEs.
