G-325A Residence and Work History

[hrothgarr 0]

Hey all, I didn't get any responses last time so let's try this again.

I taught English in Spain for about nine months in 2010. It was through a federal program where they give you a STUDENT visa to come teach rather than a work visa. Your "pay" is actually one government grant that is dispersed in monthly increments. Seeing as there are no taxes paid on this money, it doesn't really count as a job, right? Should I list this in my job history?

Also, as far as listing foreign addresses go, how much do you translate? For "rue" and "calle" do I just put "street"? The name of the school I worked at is prefaced with "Instituto de Educacion Secundaria", do I translate that to "Secondary Education Institute" or leave it? The little things...

Thanks, hope someone out there knows!

hi there!

when i filled out mine i placed in the form all the workplace where i worked at

my first job is under a foundation so our salary doesnt have any deductions from taxes but i still included it since its part of my job history

as for your question regarding the name of the school although i havent experienced it i would suggest writing the real name of the school and the address as what their actual name and address is.

let's hope someone who has the same experience would post here tho to enlighten you.

Good luck on your journey

Are you going to claim this on your resume in the future? I do not see why you would not want to list this as a job. Since it was a FEDERAL program, I am sure the USCIS can get a record of it. Not having to pay taxes is not a criteria I would use as to whether something is considered a job or not. You performed a service and was compensated, in my mind that is a job. Be thankful you are not dealing with the FAA as what they consider compensation for hire can really make your head spin. I translated all addresses into their English equlivant and used Roman letters for addresses and company name's (not something you have to worry about).

Good luck,

Dave

Yes it is a job, taxes do not matter. USCIS is not the IRS and immigration is in no way related to income tax.

List it.

The address should be at least transliterated to Roman letters, that is all. If the adress was "rue" , "chemin" whatever then so state. How would you write it to send a letter there? That is how you enter it. My wifes language uses cryillic alphabet but I still stated ...."Dom"(house)140, "Kabinet" (apt) 37. No problems.

Thanks guys!

Also: I just mailed in a form "SSA-7050-F4" to the Social Security Administration, which is a form that requests detailed information on your earnings from however many years back that you need. I did this because I worked a few jobs about five years ago and I can't remember during which months I worked. Anyone have any experience with how long this takes?
