K-1 questions not in FAQ's

[Kyle&Sara 0]

As my fiance and I are filling out our g-325a forms, we both ran into the same question; how accurate do we have to be on our previous residences? I know where I've lived in the last five years as well as the addresses, but for both of us, we can't remember exact dates.

Also, I noticed in the FAQ's, someone asked about where to get their forms notarized. I didn't notice in the filing instructions anywhere that it said forms must be notarized. Is this in fact required?

Thanks!

Honestly, I'd say the dates wouldn't necessarily have to be EXACT as long as you have estimated dates and all the actual addresses you should be fine. The idea is they want to know where you lived over that time frame. If you get all of the places you've lived listed and the dates all relatively close, you should be alright. The worst that should happen if they want more detailed information later, they would send an RFE (request for more evidence) and you could then get more detailed date information by maybe calling utility companies to see when you started utilities and ended utilities at those particular addresses.

As for notarizing, we didn't notarize our g-325a forms and they were accepted. If that's a problem later on, I'll get notarized ones, but as with you, I didn't see any requirement for that and am not worried about it in the slightest.

Cheers! I appreciate the quick answer!

There is no requirement to get the forms notarized. People used to do that extremely long ago, not anymore.
