Question about Form G-325A

[dmi0195 1]

Hello everyone!

 

I know that I have to file form G-325A for me and my spouse.  My spouse has never been in the United States, she is living in Poland.  That is where I am from and I am trying to bring her here so we can live in the states for a couple of years and then move back to Poland.   My question is: Does she have to sign the G-325A as well?

 

Thank you everyone!

Good news, G-325A is no longer needed.  Bad news is that she now needs to fill in and sign the I-I30A. 

 

Make sure you use the new I-130 form dated 02/27/17.

A beneficiary not in the USA does not need to sign the I-130A.

Also make sure you submit the up-to-date fees for the forms:

Don't forget to add the biometrics fee with the I-485!

Why would there be an I-485 for a CR1/IR1 visa? Please note the forum you're posting in! Thanks

You know wrong. It's not required anymore.

Note that extended travel abroad will result in the green card being abandoned. That's fine if you intend to remain in Poland after a couple/few years, but if the intent is to come back to live, you'll be starting the process over again (unless they become a USC first).

No I-485 for a visa. She has never been in the US and is living abroad, so AOS is not an option.

I know that the green card would be abandoned, thank you for that. But we do not intend to stay in the states forever. 

 

Also, i-485 would be later on in the process, correct? Once she would enter the US, then I would file a i-485 for adjusted status.

Whoops, sorry! Forget about the I-485.

With a CR-1/IR-1 visa, there is no AOS. You get LPR status upon entry.

Not correct unless you consider "never" to be a synonym of "later".
