Beginner questions - 130 and g325-a

[jsgirlie 0]

Hello,

I couldn't find answers to the following on the boards, and I am hoping that someone can help.

1. My new husband (German citizen - currently living and working in Japan) does not know the date of birth or whereabouts of his father, as they had no relationship. His mother is deceased and he has no other living family members that can provide the information. On the G-325a, is it acceptable to leave "Father's DOB and City and Country of Residence" blank?

2. On the I-130, there is a place for listing children of my husband. He is not involved in his child's life at this point; she lives in Germany and her mother has full custody. We have no plans to include her in our application. Are we still supposed to include her name and date of birth?

Thank you for your help!

Kind regards

Congrats on your marriage. Good luck on your journey.

1. Leaving nothing blank. Enter "Unknown" in the applicable fields.

2. Put the daughter's information anyway. It doesn't mean she'll immigrate, too. It means that putting "None" is a lie and something you DON'T want to do.

The questions on the forms are questions. Answer them all truthfully. If unknown put unknown. If deceased, indicate deceased and year as the current residence. When you get a little further down the I-130 petition, you're going to have a duh moment about your child question.

Three important keys to success are to read carefully, interpret literally and answer accurately.

I had the same situation with my parents. I put "UNKNOWN" and had no issues.

List the child, form is asking for list of all children (regardless of custody.)

Good luck!
