Error in G-325a but I-130 filled out correctly

[T&K.Love 0]

Hello

I m not sure how big error is when it is made in G-325a form with the employment date? When we were filling out I-130 we put the correct date of employment but while filling out G-325a , which goes together with i-130, we, by mistake, put the wrong employment date on G-325a ( wrong year and month ) - there is only 1 employment date. ....huuuuh......

so there is different employment date for each of both form. ( on the 130 form it is one employment date and on G325a form it is another date) . what do you think, is it too important error? Can it influence on i-130 form approval ?

We already sent the forms and later saw that error. .....

If you're talking about the foreigner's employment question on page one of the I-130, unless employed in the USA, the answer should have been N/A. (Yes really) No worries. They'll just ignore it, since its not applicable.

Thanks for the answer!! :-) it is better to hear this!

there was not employement date in usa for the applicant/beneficiary/foreigner - we made error when putting employment date of beneficiary in g325a form in the foreign country of residence ( we put there wrong year and date - employment was outside of usa , in beneficiary residence ) but in 130 from we put the correct date - which is error as it shows different dates of employment ( outside of usa ) - 130 form says one date and g325a says other date.

Bad but mistake happened somehow in those details....

There's only one place to list employment for the foreigner on the I-130. It does not say "employment in the USA" but the question is only applicable if the foreigner is currently in the USA (see the check box above the question about employment) and working in the USA. This is not clear from what you see on the form, but I'm telling you the answer should have simply been N/A. If you filled anything in that spot, they will ignore it entirely because unless the foreigner is currently in the USA on the filing date, the answer is NOT APPLICABLE. It's a common error that will be ignored. Don't worry about it.

Thanks for reply :-)

Well im a bit confused - i had no idea that question in 130 form about employment is actually question about working of foreigner who is currently in the U.S- i thought they ask for present employment in country of residence- we left field "if applicant is currently in the U.S complete follwing , he she arrived as " - we left that field blank as foreigner is not currently in the U.S - well we did not put N/A , we did not know we need to write that- but in next field when they ask for present employer - we wrote foreigner's empoyment is country of residence !

I hope they will figure it is actually employment outside of usa, it did not happen in the U.S .

Hmmmm i really had no idea they would ask for employment in the U.S - anyway same thing is written on G-326a form but there they ask for current employment in country of residence, and we wrote there the right employer ( there is only 1 employer through whole process ) - but we put there different dare of employment than in 130 form , that was worry as i thought what they will think is see 2 different dates for same one employer.

I really hope they will ignore this error that i wrote name of present employer in 130 form instead of putting N/A there as foreigner is not in the U.S currently . Huh.... is it ok to leave field "is foreigner currently in usa " - blank if is not? we somehow did not put anything in there as foreigner is not in the Us at the moment

I also hope this is not too big error

Now you're confusing me. Where did you find a place to enter a date of employment on the I-130 form, other than the section directly under whether it asks if the foreigner is in the USA now?

Well there is only one section for it- that one you are talking about- when it says "if foreigner is currently in the us , fill the folowwing: " then it asks for date or arrivals, ways of arrivals and such- after it, it says" name of present employer" - the thing is we had no idea they mean to name present employer in The US ( if foreigner is in the us) - we thought they mean on employer in country of residence - so we put there foreigner's employement date and name - in that field- no other fields for it - well we ledt blank asking question if foreigner is in the us - we also did not know we need to but n/a as foreigner is NOT in the us at the moment.

Other fields i was talking about is not in 130 form, it is in G-325a form - there they ask for employment data of foreigner's IN the country of residence - we also wrote there name and dates of employment - which is correct employer but wrong date of employment - for Outside of usa.

This G-325a form is attached to i-130 form and it goes in package so we sent both of them.

Thanks for the answers, it was help. . I really had no idea they would mean on present employement only if In usa in 130 form.

Now i hope they will figure "if applicant in usa is currently in the us , complete the following " - we left it blank , no writing there N/A as we thought if leave blank it means n/a - well they hopefully can easy see and check if foreigner is in usa and in this case - foreigner is not in the US.

I hope it will be fine with those forms.....

Then stop worrying about it.

Thanks for suggestion....it is not easy not to worry knowing there is an error in i-130 form- i just hope it is not too important error.... so they can see foreigner is NOT in the usa if left fields blanks there instead of putting n/a in that field- as well as writing foreigner's employment address in country of residence in field asking if there is present employment in the us- it also should have had n/a...but ok we did not know it.

the thing is that thinking that errors could make delays and such if they are not understood well by uscis - it could mean more waiting again and this process is already too long - when someone is in love it is difficult to be apart from loving person that long.

Im not sure if we should call uscis and tell them about this error on the phone...

Then stop worrying about it.

Well i was reading now at uscis.gov site that fields MUST NOT BE LEFT BLANK if something is not applicable - one has to still write something there: None or N/A.....in some fields where were n/a - we did not it. Great. Now more waiting for corrections probably.

I wonder if anyone every left blank fields instead of putting there "none " or "n/a" if question does not apply to applicant ?

Hi just sent our package on the second, we did leave some areas blank if they were not applicable...now that you are steps ahead what is the answer is it a worry? we haven't received any notification back makes us wonder what we did wrong, we also used personal checks, and did not have all the bona fide labeled...how long did it take before you heard from them?

Well we did not have issue with it. I think we left fields like " middle name" ( i dont have middle name ) or such , blank. And if answer was "no" to some questions where they asked for questions in it and it was not applicable. so a few obvious not applicable fields we left blank.

We heard back from Uscis after 5 months since we sent our 1-130 form to inform that our case was transferred to TSC and from there it was approved in next 1 month and few days.....so our 1-130 form was approved in 6 months.
