Question G-325a form fields too small to input information

The title says it all really. This is proving to be the same problem for form I-130 as well when i try to fill it out on the computer. I'm using the most up-to-date version of Adobe reader.

I've tried copy and pasting text into the field boxes but to no avail.

Has anyone else had this problem? There's not even enough room for my wife to fill in her maiden name.

I gather that as long as the form is filled in in black ink and legible that it'll be ok, right?

Also, if there aren't enough field boxes to input all your previous employment/ residence history from the past 5yrs, what do you do?

Many thanks
Pete

I can't recall, but don't the instructions say somewhere to add an extra sheet if you need space? I know we did that when listing my DH's previous trips to America.

Had no problem here. I used long hand on all the forms. Worked a treat.

Sign in BLUE ink and use a separate blank page with the question number noted for additional info.

Y'know... back before the forms were fillable, we had to actually print them out and complete the forms by hand using a pen. That method is still acceptable today. Even a computer with the newest and best software can't compensate for a poorly designed form.

For the G-325A, abbreviate and condense ruthlessly. (And be glad that it's now only a 1-part form, not a 4-part carbon form.)

For the I-130, Rete and Ian have provided the answer.

Regards, JEff

So did Rete's response.

I provided my own answer for G-325A.

Unfortunately the instructions don't specify what to do in this case. But i'll take your word for it, unless anyone here objects?

Thanks

No objection here, we did that on a few immigration forms. In that space on the I-130, write "see attached". Then on a separate sheet of paper, write your name, the Form number, and Question number. Then write the lengthy answer that didn't fit on the form itself. Staple this page to the I-130, after the last page.

The G-325A instructions don't, the I-130 instructions do.

Exactly.

I'm just going to attach a seperate form to the back of G-325A, and specify which section it's for. There are no numbers on G-325A to reference.

Yes, reference as much as you can, and attach it to the back.
