G-325A Employment Question

[janamaria 0]

Hey everyone!

Thanks so much for everyone's help so far! You're all the best

I just had a question or two about the G-325A form where you have to list the last five years of employment.

1) My husband and I are currently self employed and working from our home office except when we have shoots which are on location. Do we put 'self employed' in the occupation box and our business name and home address in the full name and address box?

2) In the last five years I was a student and doing some part time photography work, what do I put for this? Student or still self-employed?

3) In the last five years I was a student and working for a restaurant where they paid me cash (as well as doing the odd photography job) what do I put for this time period? Do I put the restaurant? Or Student? Or self-employed?

4) During the last five years my husband has been unwell and has been on a benefit because of this, but has also worked (the legally allowed amount) with me in the business during this. What do we put for this time period? Self-employed? Unemployed? On benefits?

5) The very last box says to enter your name and alien registration number. We don't have one of these, do I just leave it blank? Put N/A?

6) Last question I promise!! The bit where it says 'this form is submitted in connection with an application for:' What do I put for this if we are filing it with the I-130? Do we put I-130? Or tick one of the boxes?

Sorry for all my very stupid questions!

Attach a supplemental sheet that details everything. It's far better to put it all out there than to try to squeeze everything into the tiny boxes on the form and leave out information. If you were a student/part-time photographer/restaurant-worker, then say that. And if your husband was "On benefits/self-employed part-time, say that too. But don't fudge the dates, either.

Put N/A for Alien Number.

Check the "Other" box and write "I-130" in the blank next to it.

I am guessing that this is work in the UK. I am not up on UK employment laws, but I would not put down anything that would be considered illegal or under the table work (avoiding taxes). Remember the the petitioner has to show US tax statements for the last 3 years.

Thanks for your help! Are we okay attaching a additional sheet? I am so worried about doing something wrong! They don't mind if we do this?

Thanks for the reply! Yes it is all UK work. The waitressing work wasn't illegal (unless the restaurant was doing something sneaky behind my back) I filled in the forms they gave me when I first joined, maybe they just preferred to pay in cash?

Yes, you can attach an additional sheet. Just write in the applicable section "see attached supplemental sheet" and then follow the same structure on the supplemental sheet (like "Full Name and Address of Employer" first, then "Occupation", then To/From dates, etc).

That's great, thanks so much!

If you write, "see attachment" do you write "N/A" in the cells that follow it in the employment/address boxes part? Or are you allowed to leave them blank?

You can leave the other cells blank
