I realized I needed to include proof of U.S. citizenship for the petitioner and joint sponsor, as well as the letter from employer.

(Sorry if I posted in the wrong section)

No need for the G-325A for the I-130 packet.

So I only need it for the I-485 packet? Doesn't the packet get separated after USCIS receives it?

Yes. The G-325A is not needed for the petition packet because the updated I-130 form has all the required information from the USC petitioner and I-130A has all the information needed for the spouse beneficiary.

Okay, I will do that then. Thank you.
