Filling out G325A: Employment History question

[rambaldi 0]

Hi Guys,

I'm filling out the G325A right now, and I've only been employed a little under 4 years, which I put on the first line. Do I need to make any other notation to indicate that I was unemployed (still in college) prior to June of 2003?

Also, my fiancee on her 325 put her date of employment at merck as June 2002 to Now. However, in truth, it was from January. She sent me the forms, and that's the only mistake on there. What are my options:

1) Do I have to hand copy and refill out everything on the blanks forms she sent me with her signature filled in

2) Can I use white out, or simply cross out the date and write in January

3) Or can I just leave the mistake and hope they don't check too carefully?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I don't totally understand # 1. All the information must be on the form. Yes, I suppose you would have to hand copy it.

2. I would not recommend white out. The proper way to do it is to draw a line through the error, write in the correct answer and intial the change. People have used white out and gotten away with it but it is not the best choice.

3. I doubt very much that they would notice the error or care much if they discovered it. They don't usually check with employers that much unless they have a reason to.

If you were in college prior to 2003 then that means you were unemployed and you should mark it as such, then fill out the rest of the form with your current job which has lasted almost 4 years.

For the second issue, I wouldn't worry about it too much either. You can just cross it out, make the correction and initial it so they can see it was a change made by you.

Why not ask your fiancee to fill out another G-325A and send that to you?

So they won't RFE me if they see it's a change made by me?

We did think of that, but it's gonna take another week for it to reach me, and we'd like to file ASAP. Thanks.

I would put the name of school and write "student" under occupation and supply the dates. The form is biographical. Student is more accurate than "unemployed".

Assuming the one she sent is signed, I think any of the above would be fine. If it were me, I would just send it in. If you're really #######, then hand copy it on a signed form.

Lots of people make changes and corrections. I am sure they are quite used to seeing it. Any legal document can be changed using the method described. (line, correction, initials) There should be no problems.

I agree with Turboguy

I used to work at a place with USDA regulations and that is how we had to handle our documentations.

Whether that is a problem for an individual petitioner or not, depends entirely on the individual USCIS-contractor-monkey who reviews said individual petitioners petition.

My advice : assume nothing and when in doubt, re-do.
