Hey guys, I noticed a mistake I made on the G-325a form with my employment history. (Yeah, another one... I thought I did everything accurately.) I am the petitioner and I marked "unemployed," as I have been a student in college since 2015.  I misunderstood the information and put only my prior employers that I've worked for, but didn't mention the extra cash I made online from 2014 - 2017. The info is on my transcripts and the bank statements will clearly show this. I don't know how I made such a stupid mistake and I'm beating myself up for it worse than the other error from a few weeks ago I noticed.... My tax returns and bank statements will reflect this and I know that the consulate will have this information present. What should I do? I wrote up a document for my foreign fiancee to take to his interview with the correct information and made note of the mistake, just in case they bring it up. My question is, would this be bad? Will he be denied because of this? I was reading many things on VisaJourney saying that it won't matter as the g-325a from the petitioner would be immaterial so I have nothing to worry about?

 

"For the petitioner to list or not list a job on a G-325A does not rise to the level of fraud because it's immaterial to the approval of the petition. At worst, it might have to be explained. At best, it won't even be noticed."

 

Also, I know that when I fill out the I-134 I have the opportunity to put the correct information regarding me being a sole-proprietor, so that gives me the chance to clear up incorrect information however I am nervous they will hold the g-325a form against me in addition to the information on the I-134 since one will say unemployed in that time period, and the I-134 will show the money earned as a sole-proprietor. I will be attaching all the supporting documents such as bank statements and IRS transcripts for the last 3 years. From what I can see it doesn't look like it will be a big deal. It seems like others have made mistakes on there G-325a's but they were more typo's, incorrect dates, or incorrect names. Can anyone verify this for me? This is for the Sydney consulate. 
 

My stress levels are so high right now.... I feel so stupid.....

 

Also, I do have a co-sponsor if that makes a difference.

Hi! I'm the beneficiary and I have a similar problem. On my G325A form (filed on October of 2016) I marked "unemployed", because at the moment I wasn't working, but it was because of a license (or how they called it in Venezuela: an unpaid work permit). That means that I'm still an employee but as long as the license was valid I wouldn't go to the office (of course) and wouldn't get paid (obviously). So since I wasn't going to the office nor getting paid, I marked "unemployed" because for me, it seemed like pretty much the same. I asked for it (the license) to my employer so I could finish my thesis and do my internships (I have now a bachelor's degree in human resources). The license was valid from April to October 2016. On November I returned to my job. Then on December I quit.

 

My interview is on Friday and I'm worried because when I filed the DS-160 I said that I have worked in that company since January 2014 until December 2016, which is true. But since I marked "unemployed" on the G325A, I'm scared they might think I was lying in some point. I have an employment letter that says I worked there since January 2014 until December 2016, also I have a letter from the company where I did my internships (From May to August 2016). And just in case they ask for it, I will be bringing with me to the interview my venezuelan's tax returns from the past 3 years.

 

Do you guys think that would be a problem at the interview??? :(
