I-130 / G-325A Almost Ready...

[Camson 3]

Hello everyone, once again I have some questions... This time regarding a couple of items in the I-130 and G-325A forms that I am not too sure about. I've heard of people making silly mistakes by filling in a box incorrectly and I'd like to avoid that! Maybe it can help anxious people like me in the future too. I'll try to be succinct and easy to reply to. (I'm a U.S. Citizen filing original petition for CR-1 for wife living in Japan)

I-130:

B.

14 - I am not a lawful permanent resident alien so this doesn't apply to me. Should I put N/A or none? Or leave it blank?

14b - Same as above, if 14 doesn't apply to me should I choose NO anyway? or leave it blank?

C.

1 - This one is silly, but my wife does not have a middle name. Is blank ok?

9/10 - My wife has no U.S. SSN nor Alien Registration Number... I assume writing None is ok?

14 - Does not apply to her, as she's in Japan. Is blank ok or should I fill N/A in the first box?

21 - We have never lived together. N/A or none ok here?

22 - She is not in the United States and has no previous visa or AoS. Is it okay to leave this blank?

-------------------------------------------------------

G-325A: (Has no numbers so I'll try to keep it in order of questions that apply to me and my wife)

1. File Number - Neither of us have one, is None acceptable?

2. Applicant's last address outside the United States more than 1 year - Doesn't apply to me, None ok? Should my wife put her current address in Japan here?

3. Applicant's employment last five years - It appears there's not enough space to include address with employer name in the box . . . I'm honestly not sure how to rectify this without it looking sloppy.

Should I attach a separate piece of paper for each form to include our employment information?

For my wife, should she include her employment history in Japan or in the U.S.? (If it's the U.S., it's none)

4. This form is submitted in connection with an application for: - We both chose Other and wrote "I-130 Petition" . . . Is this acceptable?

That about covers it... Again, any help is sincerely appreciated in trying to get this ball rolling!

Thanks a lot! That answered basically all of my questions. And yeah, I have referenced those guides and sample forms prior to filling mine out. They're definitely helpful, but I wanted to double check the parts I wasn't sure of.

Thanks again everyone.
