Big mistake on g-325a?

[kamileczekpl 0]

Hi!,

I think I might have a problem. When I was filling g-325 for the K1 fiance petition I made two mistakes. First mistake was that I didn't write down one of my past employers. I also stated that I stayed in Italy for 14 months, but the true is I didn't stay there for even a year.I'm not really sure what to do, because they require us to collect criminal records from all the countries that we lived over a year so should I try to get those criminal records (it's almost impossible to get them) or there is a chance they won't even ask for them since I'll have to fill DS-230 before my interview and once again write down my residency/jobs from last 10 years. Do people in the embassy even look on g-325a or they just care about ds-230 and ds-156? I might have a problem If they will notice that I wrote different things on both applications? Is it even possible to explain them what went wrong?

I'm kinda freaking out so I would appriciate any help/advice.

Cheers!

Just fill out a new form, date, and sign. Then when you go to the interview give it to them, tell them you made a mistake when you sent in your I-129f. I wrote the wrong hiring date on my g325a for I-129f, when my fiance went to his interview, he gave them the correct one and tell them to disregard the old g325a. Same thing w/ his parents' birthdays, he wasn't sure about the dates so we just put unknown for the first time we filed, then during the interview he gave them another one. I'm not sure about others' experiences, for mine it was fine.

So at the risk of offending, how did you screw that up? How did you write down you stayed in Italy for 14 months, when it was under a year?

The rules are you'll need police clearance for any country that you lived in for over six months. They will ABSOLUTELY ask for them, you will not get your visa without them. It's probably the thing they care about most, checking out your background. What countries did you live in? Why do you say it's nearly impossible, have you even checked? They are most certainly available from Italy, it sounds like you just don't feel like making the effort. Here is the information about how to get one from Italy, if you post the other countries you lived in for more than 6 months we'll try and help point you in the right direction.

But you absolutely will have to have them.

Police Records

Available. The Certificato Generale del Casellario Giudiziale is a certified national record of final court convictions and decisions regarding mental incompetency and bankruptcy or a statement that no such record exists (Nulla).The Certificato dei Carichi Pendenti is a certified record of pending criminal charges, or a statement that no such charges exist, from the office of the Procura della Repubblica in the applicant's place of residence. Both certificates are required from immigrant visa applicants residing in Italy.

Persons within Italy can obtain the Casellario Giudiziale by applying in person or by mail at any office of the Procura della Repubblica. The Carichi Pendenti must be obtained at the Procura della Repubblica in the area that the applicant resides. Such offices are located in all major cities and in many small cities and large towns. Those who apply in person must submit a written request, a photocopy of a photo ID and all fees; the certificates are usually provided the day of the request.

Persons outside of Italy can obtain the Casellario Giudiziale by writing to:

Ufficio del Casellario Giudiziale della Procura della Repubblica

Piazzale Clodio

00195 Rome (RM) Italia

Persons outside of Italy can obtain the Carichi Pendenti by writing to:

Procura della Repubblica presso il Tribunale di ROMA

Piazzale Clodio

00195 ROMA (RM) Italia

Those requesting the certificate by mail, whether from within or outside Italy, must submit a written request, a photocopy of a photo i.d., and all fees, along with a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Mail requests are normally processed within three working days. Information concerning fees and application procedures is available from any office of the Procura della Repubblica or online at http://www.giustizia.it.

And honestly from reading the above, Italy looks like it is one of the EASIEST countries to get Police Clearance from.

Thank u for help!

First of all, quote from the embassy webstie:

All applicants aged 16 years or over must submit a police certificate from their current country of residence and/or nationality if they have lived there for six months or more. Police certificates are also required from all other countries where the applicant has resided for at least one year. A police certificate must also be obtained from the police authorities of any place where the applicant has been arrested for any reason, regardless of how long he or she lived there

So true is that I don't need this certification. Why I wrote I stayed there so long? I just simply didn't remember, it was quite a while ago and I traveled a lot.

I made an effort. I checked all the stuff on Italy on the USA embassy website but the thing is that Italians don't respond to emails I send to them and their website is just in italian, it doesn't even allow google to translate it into english. Thing about Italy is that they don't speak english. So yes, it's difficult to obtain those documents while being abroad.

Anyway thank u for response, I think I'll just prepare a new g-325a and admit that i made a mistake and gave them the corrected one. I'll also do my best to get those certifications from Italy. I was just concerned that the person who will interview me won't even feel like listening to me and deny me because I made a big mistake and won't even give me a chance to explain everything. U all know how stressful all this stuff is
