Hi,

The G-325a doesn't have enough room on the form I have. Even the year in the from/to columns like 2007 or 2006 gets truncated and has the black plus. I'm not sure what's up with that, the font is already pretty small. Do I have a goofy form or something? I can't imagine I'm the only one having this problem.

My spouse has some employment lapses. Some people here have suggested ignoring the lapses because it's asking for employment history not unemployment history. Other people here have said you have to include the lapses. I think I have to list the unemployment though because it says "if none, so state".

So because I will be "so stating", I don't have enough room for all the employment entries. So I'll have an attached page.

For those who have attached, I had a few questions. On the attached page, did you have a title at the top with the name and birthdate of the applicant? Did you date and sign that attached page? Did you only attach a single page or 4 copies corresponding to the 4 G-325a copies? If so, did you sign and date each of the attachment copies?

Sorry to be so specific but I'm trying to be as careful as possible.

Thanks very much!

Do one of 2 things is the black + is the problem.

Use the Visa Pro version of the form, it allows entry of text in all fields.

OR just leave the fields blank and hand write the dates into the form.

You should put all of the information you mention at the top of the page and dating and signing them can't hurt. You will need one for each copy.

As for the dates being truncated, not that's not normal. The month is easy to fix, just use numeric, but I don't know why the year isn't working correctly.

You might want to download a newer version of acrobat reader. Here is the display when I fill it out:

I would also suggest putting the number of the question to the left of the additional paper. I would attach one to each 325, but photocopy it.
