G-325A Question

[highritz 0]

Hello Everyone,

My wife and I are applying for an IR-1 / CR-1 Visa. I am a US citizen she is a Japanese citizen. I just had some questions about filling out the G-325A form.

We are required to have a form for both of us, and for my wife the form is self-explanatory. However me, the US Citizen, it is a little confusing. Several times the form refers to the 'Applicant's Residence, employment, etc.'. Since my wife is the one applying for the visa, does this make her the 'Applicant' on her and my copy of G-325A form and therefore we should have her information here for both forms? Or should we be filling out our own personal information on our respective forms?

I had another question for the bottom of the form where it says "This form is submitted in connection with an application for: Naturalization, Status as a Permanent Resident, Other (Specify)". For my wife I believe she should check "Status as a Permanent Resident", but for my copy of the form, as the US citizen, what I am I supposed to check? 'Other'?

Lastly, I read in a couple of posts where people said we should sign things in blue ink. I couldn't find anything official about that, is that a rule?

Thanks!

You fill the form out with your information. They want biographical info for you.

You can mark OTHER and put CR-1 in the blank

It is a rule of lawyers to sign using blue ink so you can tell the difference between an original or a copy. It's not a USCIS rule. I didn't sign our in blue ink and we were approved with out issues.
