Hi everyone,

 

I am currently filling out my i130A form and have a question about the Employment History. While I have been employed for the past 2+ years in the U.S. (graduate school + OPT), I have never been employed in my country of origin (country A). In fact, prior to my graduate studies, I was back home (in country A) for a year to prepare for graduate school but I did not work at that time. Prior to that, I was living and studying in country B for 3 years to get my undergraduate degree and well... prior to that I was living in country A again getting my high school diploma. In other words, I never had a job outside of the U.S.

 

Now, the form says "If you never worked outside the United States, provide this information in the space provided in Part 7. Additional Information." Should I just write a short paragraph explaining my situation? I am very confused and appreciate your help.

 

Thank you!

Local Field office: Raleigh, NC
