Complex G-325a - AOS Returning Expat

[asisflyer 47]

This is my first post. I have read much of this forum and look forward to helping in areas where my knowledge will be useful.

I look forward to being part of the community and helping others as they have helped me.

G.325A is confusing me. I don't want responses to suggest intent that is not there.

SITUATION:

RE: Concurrent I-130 / I-485 AOS - Long Term Expat USC and Alien Spouse - Married 1.5 years.

Return to USA on B2 visa with no intent to stay. Medical trip. Then argument with Employer. Lost Job while visiting. Then spent another month or so deciding whether to go back overseas and find new work or to stay. Ultimately, decided to stay a while.

We spent 1 month in the US at 1 address (on customs card) and 1 month at another US address (filed Ar-11 online) . First address on I-94 card.

I have 13 addresses in 5 years for G325a. Often live in 3-6 month leases. But there is also owned foreign home we sometimes stay at.

Q1. I am concerned about Domocile vs. Residence vs. Location you Slept as the desired data for the G.325A.

Instructions and guidance are very limited online.

If AOS from B2 application on G-325a --- Does my overseas address end with Date of Entry to U.S. , with date of this petition when intent to stay changed? or actual time when movers moved belongings out of the foreign address to our permanent foreign storage address?

We had people empty our overseas apartment (month-to-month lease) and move things to our overseas home as storage after we had departed .

I do not wish the definition of residence to be misinterpreted as immigrant intent.

Q2. Can I overlap the dates of the Foreign Address with the U.S. visit locations since arriving?

Q3. With 13 addresses. I put first 5 on form -- and then a SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET with ALL ADDRESSES and I reference Form Items vs. Additional Items. Is this acceptable ? OR WOULD I DELETE ALL ADDRESSES ON FORM and only reference Schedule ?

Q4. The Last Foreign Address over 1 year line - for us this is not the most recent foreign address. It will be a 2 year old address because we often have 6 month leases. Should I still pick the older address with 1 year lease?

Q5. If we own a foreign home that stores most of our belongings, but generally stay at rented foreign homes; how do I show the alternating use of the owned foreign residence on the G325 when it overlaps ALL dates? I footnoted it on the G325a Supplemental Form, is this OK?

Q7. On I-864 form for the sponsor petitioner. I lost my job overseas after I came to the U.S. for a visit with Alien Spouse but since its become a dispute, I don't know the actual dismissal date, just estimating. Is the proximity of the job dismissal deemed as Immigrant Intent being under 60 days from arrival? though AOS will be dated 65+ days after arrival.

Q8. Are US based translations services that email PDFs acceptable? USCIS guidance suggests that translation certifications must be originals, but many sources suggest that photocopies are sufficient.

Q9. If 10+ notarized affidavits are used to boost case, no in lieu of evidence but as additional evidence. Can I send photocopies of affidavits first or must they be the originals?

Q10. On I-765 - ther field for A# or I94 doesn't have enough digits for I94 and PDF form is locked. Do I handwrite in the I-94 here?

Q11. On I-130 Q21. I wish to show date through Present but PDF lock only allows dates. Do I handwrite in PRESENT if living together at AOS filing address?

Q12. For I-485 Part 3 B. Is Husband or Spouse the perferred parlance?

Q13. For I-131 - Advance Parole during AOS , Do I need to attach letter of reason for requesting Multiple Trips? Will Travel dates block interview appointments during travel window reported on this form?

Q14. For I-864 - Part 3 - If 1 primary immigrant only. Do Family member categories remain blank? Instructions lacking.

Q15. For I-864 - Part 6- Instructions appear to Contradict Form and Common sense on placing data from main form in 6 a, b,c area. Instructions suggest copying the primary party income there, but instruction then say subtotal the 5c, 6c, etc. which suggested that I should leave it blank. This is a i-864 petitioner and i-864 joint petitioner. No I-864a, not household method.

　

　

　

　

　

Help would be much appreciated. Attorney is out of the budget, so we are self filing.
