G-325A form: last address outside of US for more than 1 year?

 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am a petitioner filing my G-325A form.

I have a question about "Applicant's last address outside of the US of more than 1 year."

I moved to Holland 8-months ago. Should I list that? This may be a silly questions and I'm overthinking it since I haven't "technically" lived outside of the US for 1-yr., but wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.

Thank you in advance!

I wouldn't think so since like you say, you haven't lived outside the US for a year yet. But are you still putting down your Dutch address as your home address? I ask because a lot of people seem to get auto-expedited when the USC is living abroad. Also, maybe check out DCF, if you haven't done so already?! Not sure if it's available for Amsterdam but if it is, it can really cut down your visa process time.

Good luck with your visa journey.

You'll probably have been there for at least a year by the time everything goes through, and it's your current address, so I'd put it down. It also will show you and your wife live together at that address, since it will be the same on her form.

Thank you!

DCF is not available in Amsterdam but we're hoping to get it expedited since I'm living abroad.

I'll put NONE since it's been only 8 months.

Do you suggest to write a request for expedite processing?

You don't need to request it. It will just happen if it's going to happen. It seems to happen for most USC living overseas but it's not a guarantee and is very much an unofficial expedite.
