G-325 VS G325A is there a difference for AOS?

[VisaParaUnSueno 9]

Thanks fellow VJ's!

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

You need G-325A.

[VisaParaUnSueno 9]

You need G-325A.

Thank you for your help where it says this form is submitted in connection with an application for naturalization, status as permanent resident or other would it be okay to put K-1 Fiance Visa AOS?

A completed and filed Form G-325A is a requirement when filing the Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. Refer to page 4 of the official instructions for details:

That is what I'm looking at but the G-325 we filled out for K-1 is identical so that was just my curiosity. I understand we have to fill out the G-325A now.

I believe in the G-325A I would put this application is in connection with application I-485 which that is what I'm attaching it to.

Now is the Alien Registration Number the same as the A File Number in top of the G-325A?

B/C I know the File A # is on the NOA2 of the K-1 process...

Thank you!

Hmm, are you sure? My wife and I have filled out several G-325A forms in conjunction with these immigration processes. The Form G-325A is also specifically mentioned on page 6 of the official Form I-129F instructions:

The non-citizen's Alien number, or "A" number can usually be found above their name on the Form I-797c Visa Petition Approval Notice (NOA2).

Yes since I made copies of all the forms I filled out for the K-1 the only difference is the exp date and the fact that is has no A. everything else is the same.

Yes okay thank you.

I think G-325 or G-325A could be used for the AOS because the officer at the USCIS gave me G-325 as the form I need to fill in and explained that those could be used for the AOS.

A file number is your Alien Registration Number.

I can only encourage people embarking on the AOS process to follow the official printed Form I-485 instructions:

and the VJ Guide:

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Some misleading posts have been removed: the G325A is the correct form to use.

I can understand if they are male and not changing their name, so that would not need to be changed, but what about present residence? That cannot be the same. And what about present employment? Are they not currently unemployed due to moving here and not being able to work until they receive the EAD or green card? Also the box for 'Status as Permanent Resident' would be checked for AOS, and not 'Other' as it was for the I-129F petition.
