G-325a Form question(AOS)

[Alex123 0]

Hello, I'm currently on F-1 visa and got married to the US citizen. We are going to file our forms concurrently. Have a couple of questions regarding form G-325a. On G-325a there are two questions : 1)Applicant's residence last five years. List present address first. 2)Applicant's last address outside the United States of more than 1 year.I lived at the same address in Russia since 1992(when I was born) and then in 2010 I went to LosAngeles,for 5 months on Summer/Work Travel program on J1 visa. I listed my address in LosAngeles as one of the addresses in response to the first question. Then in 09/2010 I came back to Russia and lived at the same Russian address until I went to the US on F1 to study at the university. I went to the US in that status in January 2012. So, I lived at that address in Russia again from Sep. 2010 to Dec 2011. The summers of 2012, 2013, and 2014 I came back to Russia and stayed at that address for three months each summer vacation. What should be the ending date of my address in Russia? 12/2011 or Present because I go there sometimes? Should I aso list that address in Russia in the response to the first question? All of the addresses I listed in 1)Applicant's residence last five years. List present address first. are my address in the U.S (one of them is the LA address form 2010 and the other 4 are from Chicago where I'm at now and go to school. Should I list my Russian address in this part too? Is there is not enough spcae for it should IO attach a sheet of paper and tyoe it there?

Thank you,

Alex

The ending date for Russia address will be Dec, 2011. You are living in US from Jan 2012 continuously. You are visiting Russia for few months each year for visit not for living. Hence you dont need to list those time frames of your visit and russia address in Applican't five year addresses section.

I would put the list (in applicant's addresses in last 5 years) in this say

Jan 2012 - Present : Chicago address

Sep 2010 - Dec 2011: Russia address

April/May 2010 - Aug 2010 : Los Angels Address

Last address lived out of US for more than one year:

Russia address : Sept 2010 - Dec 2011

You have to list the Russia address in the first section since your 2010-2011 russia address falls within 5 year period. If you have multiple addresses in Chicago in these last years and don't have enough space, you might wanna type "SEE ATTACHED " or something like that and do not type any addresses in this section and attach a separate sheet replicating the similar table with any number of rows you want.
