Hello,

I am the fiance of the US petitioner filling out my G-325A. In between contracts abroad, I sometimes travelled (didn't have residence) and then travelled for 6 months in 2012/2013. Do I need to show this somehow? I am worried that big 'gaps' in my timeline (or even small gaps every so often) could be a problem. Does anyone know what I should do in this case?

Also, I know that I need to apply for a criminal record check in places I've lived. (residence) Surely not for all the places I've travelled?

I appreciate any help/guidance!

You don't need police certificates for all the places you've visited, unless you were there for periods of 12 months or longer.

Put the addresses of places you've actually lived, without gaps, no need to list holiday destinations unless you were abroad for long periods of time (so it'll match up with your police certs). When you say you were away, for how long and to where? I assume you mention 6 months as that was your longest trip? Was that abroad too?

I'm not sure where you're from because you haven't filled out much of your info... there may be more specific advice you can be given if you complete your timeline! http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/102797-create-a-vj-timeline-to-track-your-case-and-get-estimated-approval-dates/ (For example, if you were applying in London and had lived in the UK for 6 months, you'd need a cert for the UK)

Thanks for the help. I don't know if I'm making this a bigger deal that it is. I just don't want any mistakes.

The thing I'm concerned about is that I travelled a few times between contracts, between 'residence' addresses and so if I omit travel, I am going to have gaps. I never returned to the same residence address (went home to SA and then back to Korea to a different job and city) and my passport/Korean visas cleary show that.

For example (from most recent)

South Africa April-current

Nepal TRAVEL Jan 2013-April 2013 (5/6 month gap)

India TRAVEL Nov 2012-Jan 2013

Korea City 1 Aug 2011-Oct 2012

South Africa June 2011-Aug 2011

Nepal TRAVEL May 2011-June 2011 ( about 1 month gap)

Korea City 2 May 2010- April 2011

South Africa Jan 2009-April 2010

Korea City 3 2008- Jan 2009

I would think that I can type this up super accurately with addresses, specific dates acc to passport) and attach it?

I'm South African, by the way. And thanks again for any help.

I had a similar problem, where I lived at one address, then travelled for 2 months, and then returned to a different address. For the time i was travelling I put 'Travelling in (countries), no fixed address during this time' and then the dates I was away. I haven't received our NOA2 yet so I don't know for certain that this is the correct thing to put, but I was only in each place for 2-5 days so it didn't seem to make sense to put each individual hostel/hotel address.

Badly need help! I am a Filipina working in Indonesia for 4 years. The legal assistance advised me to have the interview in the Philippines since it's my mother country. I have a problem filling out the G-325A form. On the applicant's residence section I typed my address in the Philippines. However, on the present employment I typed my address here in Indonesia. Should I write my address in Indonesia too even if I am not a resident and will have the interview in the Phil?

I don't know, maybe I am worrying too much. Please, anyone..help:(
