Hey guys - I am just getting my package together and wanted to know if there has been any problems with the misuse of N/A and none and if this is able to cause an RFE??

I have filled in the majority with N/A and am not sure if some should techinally be nones and if I am going to get an RFE for this..

Also, somewhere it says that G-325 needs to be signed and dated by each person - but on the form I am looking at it just has you print your name - is it okay for me to print my husbands name?? He is currently in Chile and I am in the states and won't be back to Chile for at least a month and would rather not have to pay the shipping for him to send me his signature..

Thanks for the help!

I am wondering this same thing! I was thinking that N/A would be, for example, a question that clearly doesn't apply but none would be, for example, that he has no social security number. Is this correct? Anyone have a good idea about this?

I went crazy with N/A and none...i figured better to be neurotic than get an RFE (and for the i-130, i was approved no problems).

...so YES, i would put N/A on that section becuase it does not apply to your husband.

I have filled in the majority with N/A and am not sure if some should techinally be nones and if I am going to get an RFE for this..

An improper use of N/A is more likely to be overlooked if that improper usage is trivial.

Also, do I NEED to fill in every blank?

Like where it asks if your spouse is currently in the states fill out this part.. Can I just leave it blank or should I put N/A??

I completed that section like this, I left the two lines on the left side blank in relation to AOS but filled in the lines on the right hand side of the form that ask where the beneficiary will apply for a visa abroad.

I am wondering this same thing! I was thinking that N/A would be, for example, a question that clearly doesn't apply but none would be, for example, that he has no social security number. Is this correct? Anyone have a good idea about this?

For the example regarding a Social Security Number, if the person does not have one, "None" is the appropriate response.

Scratch that - just saw the box for his signature..

The I-130 does not contain a box for the foreign relative's signature.

Actually for my stepdaughter most of the questions were N/A. In fact I had more NA than actual responses to questions. If it doesn't apply then it doesn't apply. The thing is, use the same NA. On my stepdaughters on one I put NONE with a line and I got a letter requesting correction and was told that if I use N/A as a response to a question that doesn't apply then it has to be consistent on every question that doesn't apply and I actually had to redo it.

Yes pay attention to what applies and what doesn't. Spouse name would be NONE, not N/A because the question IS applicable and the answer is NONE.
