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

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

You will fill out a lot of repeat forms in this process. G-325A is the biographical form required for K-1 visas and AOS.

does k2 needs this too?

does k2 needs this too?

Yes. It is a form that goes with a I-485 as per the instructions.

Its repetitive but that's the way it is. NOTHING will have changed except for the marital status and living situation. Everything else will remain the same. Just fill it out the same and update it. The reason they ask for the updated one is because the biographic information has not changed.

G-325A

do you print the instructions too?

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

No, the instructions are for your reference to tell you how to fill out the forms. You can print them if it is easier to read them on paper instead of a screen.

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.

I did not mean the content of my responses would be the same... what I was saying was that there is no different in the format from G325 vs G325A.

And thank you for your help on the status question

Ah, then yes. It is the exact same form with slightly updated info. I can find no difference between the G-325 and G-325A, BUT the I-485 instructions ask for a G-325A, so that it is the one you should use.

I just put my AOS package in the mail today.. Realize now I accidently used the g325 instead of the g325.. Does that mean my entire package will be sent back to me and rejected?

Instead of the g325a

[KayDeeCee 4,896]

Not necessarily.

TBoneTX,

I'm sure that what I shared was not a misleading post.

USCIS themselves explained to me that we could use G-325 or G-325A for AOS.

You'll be fine. USCIS told me (on December 2013) that we could use G-325 or G-325A for AOS.

USCIS is known for for giving out inaccurate information. What may have worked for you may not work for others.

**Moderator hat on**

***The I-485 instructions clearly state which form is to be used for AOS and that is the G-325A. Do not belabor this point any further.***
