A few quick questions regarding G-325A and I-130

[pm5k 127]

A few quick questions:

For the US citizen petitioning for their spouse, must their address on the G-325A match the I-130 address? I ask this only because I may move in a few months, and thought to put an address on the I-130 that I know will be safe for mail to go to (parents' address)

Thoughts?

Also, there is a part that says that certain information does not need to be repeated on the G-325A that is already on the I-130. Will repeating be a problem? I ask because my foreign spouse filled out her G-325A form, and we filled the entire form out.

For #15 on the I-130, it asks the name and address of present employer. This is for the US citizen (petitioner) correct?

Hi! You can use this G-1145 or E-notification Form for sms and email notices even if you'll be away for few months. Attach a personal sheet explaining why you'll use your parent's address to avoid confusion as you go along with the process.

My husband and I filled in both the G325A and him as petitioner filled in the Form I-130. Line no.15 in I-130 is for the beneficiary.

Hope this may help.

God bless.

The usefulness of the G-1145 form ends once the petition is accepted an enters the queue. To receive additional email and SMS notices from USCIS once the petition enters the queue, an account will need to be created at the USCIS website.

If one uses G-1145, do/can they still also receive hard copies?

What are your thoughts on the "address where your relative intends to live" being different than the petitioner's address on the I-130?

Also, as mentioned earlier, what about the petitioner's address on the I-130 differing on the petitiner's most recent/present place of residence on the G-325A?

Thanks

Yes

Not an issue.

Line no.15 in I-130 is for the beneficiary.

Can anyone else confirm this? Just want to be 100% sure. The form is confusing since the petitioner's questions end at 14...ugh

I am pretty sure it is for the beneficiary, as Boy&Bell stated, but I figured to confirm

Yes the employer question on the I-130 is for the beneficiary but unless they are employed in the USA, that correct answer is N/A. However, it will not cause a problem to list their foreigner's foreign employment. USCIS knows the answer is N/A regardless, because questions 13 to 15 are all related to the answer to 13. Not intuitive, but much of the form is not. Another not intuitive section is section 17, where for a spouse case, the petitioner lists themselves as their foreign relative's spouse. If the foreign spouse has children, they are also listed, even if they have no intention to immigrate.

Yea section 17 threw me off until I saw the example forms. Thanks a lot for the reply!

Regarding full name and address of employer, would the company name, city, and country be enough? It's hard to fit the entire address in the box, even with additional sheets.

The above thread seems to indicate that it's okay, but I thought to confirm.
