Duplicated Supporting Documents?

[hhpp12000 0]

Hello all,

I'm planning to file I-130, I-485, I-864, G-325a, and I-693 concurrently for my wife. However, I noticed that some of the forms required the same documents.

For example, both I-130 and I-864 required a photocopy of my passport. Does that mean I have to photocopy 2 copies of my passport (one for I-130 and one for I-864)? Or do I need to just print one copy and it can be shared by both forms?

Same goes to I-130 and G-325a. Both forms are asking for two photos of my wife. Does that mean I need to prepare 4 photos of her total? or 2 is enough?

I appreciate your answer.

You treat each form as it's own separate entity. So yes, you will be sending duplicated documents for different forms.

Thank you Teddy,

I also have questions regarding G-325a:

1. Will I need three total G-325a forms if I want to file I-485 and I-130 concurrently (1 for I-485 and 2 for I-130)?

2. For the Employment History in Last 5 Years, if I only have 4 years of working experience as of right now (before I started working I was in college), how would I present this in the table? Should I put "Unemployed(Student)" for the year that I was in college? Or should I just show the years I've been working which is only 4 years total...\

Again I appreciate your help : )

Accurately read the form instructions for each, and follow them literally. Consider each to be a stand-alone package that needs to be completed fully in its own right. Avoid being distracted by the simultaneous mailing of petitions/applications.

Thanks TBoneTX!

Understood. Now I know what to do with question 1. What about question 2?

Either of your proposed solutions is fine. I'd probably pick the first option.
