Thanks for the help with the I-130. The G-325a seems even more confusing!

So I've filled them all out except at the top where it asks for file number? Since this is the 1st part being sent in we don't have one, should I put N/A or None?

And at the bottom it says "this form is submitted with regards to application for Naturalization, Status as Permanent Resident, or Other". Which one should I use? We're applying for dh to be able to live in the US.

Finally, the embassy website says:Only submit one copy. Do not submit multiple copies even though you may see instructions to do so elsewhere. So should I only send in the 1st page for each or does one copy count as all 4 pages?

I would call but of course to answer questions its a pay number.

Thanks!

You can write None, or just draw a line through it for now. He doesn't have a file number yet.

Permanent Resident.

One set of all 4 pages.

Best Wishes,

Hi:

The G-325A is an obosolescent form in which the only changes made in decades is the change from Department of Justice Immigration & Naturalization Service to Department of Homeland Security Citizenship & Immigration Services.

To be honest, I don't think they even read the damn thing.

On file number, my practice is to put in "---" unless the person already filling it out actually has a file number already. This allows for interlineation when, and if, they assign a file number.

Check the box "other" and put in "I-130"

The CIS ***REGULATIONS*** have the force of law and they require a form G-325A and it must be complete. It is a four page form. So put in all four pages. If London DHS office doesn't want them, let them dispose of them.

Thanks for the advice!

We sent off the form but now I'm worried b/c we did check "permanent resident." My 1st thought was other and I-130, but I caved and called the help line and they said permanent res. Although, now I'm wondering if the lady really knew.

I hope we don't have any problems for checking the wrong box, if we should have checked "other". I guess we'll know in about 2 months time since that is DCF London's current timeline.

Hi:

The G-325A is a bitch of a form -- and that causes a lot of obsessing by the "DIY" crowd. I understand the source of the anxiety -- but relax, even if this is a "mistake" -- it is nowhere near fatal or even enough to cause a delay. Don't sweat it.
