G325-A for I-130

[babyjk 7]

Hello everyone

I'm the foreign beneficiary & I am about to fill out the form G325-A to send along with the I-130 and I have a few questions.

1. Should I put N/A or None for the items that don't apply to me such as File Number, Social Security Number & Former Husband or does it not matter whether I use N/A or None?

2. Applicant's last address outside of the US of more than one year. Should I put N/A or None or just put back the address listed in the applicant's residence for the last five years or put same as above?

3. Applicant's employment for the last five years. This is first job and I've been in it for a year prior to that I have been unemployed for year and before that I was a student at university. Should I include that I was unemployed or was student in there or just fill the remainder with N/A or NONE.

4. Should I put N/A or None in all empty spaces or should I just put N/A or None once on each line?

Thanks.

1. Put 'none' for those questions.

2. Have you never lived in one residence (outside of US) longer than a year? If so, then put the most recent one.

3. The only job you'd put in this question is your current one as it's your first.

4. You put 'none' or 'N/A', depending on the question. They're both two different things.

Thank you very much for your response. How about affidavits do they have to be notarized and who can they be notarized by. Does the beneficiary have to provide affidavits from her side as well if I provide affidavits from my side? Who in the beneficiary's country can notarized affidavits? A lawyer, pastor of a church or something?

I don't know anything about affidavits. We never submitted any. They're optional.

All it says in the I-130 instructions is:

"Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by third parties having personal knowledge of the bona fides of the marital relationship. (Each affidavit must contain the full name and address, date and place of birth of the person making the affidavit, his or her relationship to the petitioner of beneficiary, if any, and complete information and details explaining how the person acquired his or her knowledge of your marriage);"

(page 3, I)

Newlyweds are wise, IMO, to skip the optional affidavits and concentrate on the "any other...." evidence of relationship.

Yeah, that's what we did. We just focused on sending in a few pictures and my plane tickets to the US. Nothing much at all. But considering we had only been together for a few months, it's not like we had a lot of evidence.

Thanks for the responses. One more question do I need to sign the back of the photographs or can my husband write my name on the back himself? I want to post them to him today.

Passport photos are not "signed". The instruction is to "PRINT" the full name on the back of each photo. It doesn't matter who prints it. In the US, "print" in this context, means not to use cursive writing. Not sure what the instructions will say when cursive is no longer taught in our schools.

Like pushbrk said, you just print the name; there's no signing involved for the passport photos.
