In the employment history section is it essential to fill in history for a full 5 years and is it a problem if there is a gap in the history? In our case a year long gap?

I just received my fiance's completed G-325A froms all the way from South Africa. I live in CT. I noticed that she left a lot of the fields blank that didn't apply. For example in the section to fill out for a spouse she typed in "never been married before" and left the remaining fields empty. I have read that you should put "na" in all boxes that don't apply.

Also another concern in the employment section. There is a box that asks you "show below last occupation abroad if not shown above". She filled in her most recent job which is in her native South Africa and which she also listed in the main employment section. I don't think this is a good thing, but we are dying to get this thing mailed out.

One more question, sorry. I should probably have split this up into multiple posts. One of the last things on the form is to check a box in regards to "This form is submitted in connection with application for:" She checked other and specified "I-129F Marrying US citizen". Would it have been better to check the box for "status as permanent resident? With so many questions I'm probably going to have to have her fill out new forms. This sucks!

Thank you everyone for your amazingly quick responses and helpful advice. I am going to tell my fiance about all of this and make sure she gets a letter from her psychiatrist as well as possibly some other statements from family and/or friends. I was very worried about our situation and at the very least your encouraging words have given us hope. My health care benefits at work are very good and I can add my fiance to my plan once we get married. I wonder how I could prove that? Perhaps a letter from my employer or a copy of my health care benefits.

I know that this site is going to be a very helpful asset during our journey and I look forward to keeping everyone posted in regards to how things are progressing. Once again thanks to all of the kind and generous people that responded to my post.

Hello Everyone,

I can't believe I have found such a wonderful site, and to think I was planning on preparing everything for the K1 visa without any assistance. I am currently gathering all the required information and filling out all the forms. My fiance has mailed me all of her information and I should be receiving it shortly. I am not too worried about this phase of the process. I have read the enormous amount of information here and I feel confident that I am going to supply the USCIS with everything they need. I know it might take a while, but the ultimate goal of this whole process will be well worth the wait. My nervousness stems from reading over some of the factors that could lead to ineligibility. Mainly the part about mental illness. My fiance is bipolar. The part I read that is troubling was:

"to have a physical or mental disorder and behavior associated with

the disorder that may pose, or has posed, a threat to the property, safety, or welfare of the alien or others"

My fiance has no violent history or anything like that and has a clean police record. She is actually quite normal and in many ways more normal than I am. She is a kind and loving women which is the reason why we are going through this process in the first place. I am just concerned about it and what difficulties we may encounter during the process. If need be we can collect information from doctors, employers, family, and friends to confirm her mental stability and the fact that she doesn't pose a threat to anyone.

Any comments on our situation would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
