Hi Vj'r

I need some help on filing our I-130 and G-325a, Have a few questions that need some clarification and hope someone can give me any help. First some background ..we are filing for CR-1. My husband is currently in Saudi Arabia working as an Overseas worker for 7 YEARS now, his staying on housing provided by the company. We are goin to used the US Embassy in Manila,Phils for this process. Now here are my confusions; Form I-130 & G-325a (biographics).

FORM I-130

BENEFICIARY QUESTION

Question #2 (FORM I-130) His Address...I was thinking since were going to used Manila Embassy, its only necessary to put his home address in the Philippines for this line...

Question #19 Your relative's (husband) address abroad? I assumed it will be the same as above (his home address in the Philippines)? Am I right or wrong?

NOW HERE'S THE CONFUSION...filing for G-325a (note: his been working in KSA 7years and basically spend more time living there than in the Philippines?

For Question stating:

APPLICANT'S ADDRESS LAST 5 YEARS,LIST PRESENT FIRST: (Form G-325a Biographics)

What do I need to answer to this? Im thinking it will be his residence address in Saudi Arabia, but wouldnt it throw a conflict since in I-130 I put in his Philippines address . Then in G-325a should I put the address in Saudi since his been stayin there for 7yrs for work OR still put in his Philippine address since thats where his real home at?

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME..AND ERASE SOME OF THIS CONFUSION...Thank you in advance for those who can help!

I have been trying to research this for you to get an accurate answer but it's a complicated situation that might need a call to the consulate in Manila. Assuming your husband is working for a Philippine's Employer and is in Saudi Arabia on a work visa, this is what I think you would have to do:

List his address in the Philippines in all sections of the I-130 for applicant (beneficiary)

On G-325a List his address in Saudi Arabia first (and put "working abroad") from xx/xx/xxxx to present

List his Philippine's address 2nd (and put "permanent residence") from xx/xx/xxxx to xx/xx/xxxx

I would imagine it's not much different than a US soldier being stationed in Afghanistan for 7 yrs. They might "live" there but their domicile is still in the USA. Just my logic, and I'm sure someone will correct me on this..

Either way, I would contact the embassy in the Philippines and the USCIS for a correct answer. I am curious to see what they say.

Thanks for the input you have given me. That's exactly what we put in on G-325a...we list the address of the place where his stayin in Saudi first..then followed by his home address in Philippines and put from the year he was born upto to the year he left for Saudi. This is the only thing thats been holding us back for months in sending the application and we just wanna be right on without getting RFE. Again, Thank You so much and hope that if you hear anymore information regarding this matter,you will share them with me.

Okay, so I called USCIS and spoke to Brittany. This was her response:

Indicate his Mailing address in the Philippines on the I-130.

You must indicate his address in Saudi Arabia first (for G-325A). As far as putting "working abroad" she said that's up to you.

I would do it.

List his permanent mailing address in the Philippines second.

Exactly as we thought...now send it in!

Good luck..
