NEXT STEP: FORM I-693

Though used less and less in recent years, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services sometimes requires applicants for immigration benefits to fill out a biographical form known as the G-325A. The form is available for free download on the G-325A Biographic Information page of the USCIS website.

The data collected on Form G-325A gives the U.S. government information with which to check the U.S. petitioner's or immigrant applicant's background. Most of the form is self-explanatory.

This discussion refers to the version of the form issued 03/29/18, due to expire 10/31/2019.

If you really can’t remember or are unable to find out an exact date that the form asks for, enter whatever you can remember, such as the year. Alternately, you can simply say “unknown.” However, it is not advisable to do this too many times, or USCIS may return the entire application for another try. Since the questions aren’t numbered, we refer to them by the approximate block.

Blocks 1 and 2 (Family Name, etc.): Self-explanatory. You would only have a U.S. Social Security Number if you'd been authorized to work in the U.S.; leave this section blank if you don't have a valid number.

Block 3 (Father/Mother): Self-explanatory.

Block 4 (Current Husband or Wife): Self-explanatory.

Block 5 (Former Husbands or Wives): Self-explanatory--but very important to get right, particularly if the green card application is based on marriage. U.S. immigration authorities want to make sure that all previous marriages were legally terminated, and don't show any pattern that points to possible marriage fraud in this case.

Block 6 (Applicant’s residence last five years): Be careful here; these addresses need to be in reverse chronological order, starting with your most recent address and working your way down the last five years. For example, if you now live in Detroit but lived in Ann Arbor before, your Detroit address would go on the top line. Practice making this list on another sheet of paper before you enter the information here.

Block 7 (Applicant’s last address outside the United States of more than one year): This may overlap with one of the addresses in Line 6. That’s fine.

Block 8 (Applicant’s employment last five years): Again, be careful to put this in reverse chronological order. If you have been unemployed, self-employed, a student, or were a housewife or house-husband, say so here. In other words, try not to leave any period of time unaccounted for.

G-325a Form Petition

Block 9 (Last occupation abroad if not listed above): This line asks you to list your last overseas employment, if you did not already list it earlier. People tend to overlook this line, because it is so tiny. Make sure you do not accidentally skip over it.

Block 10 (This form is submitted in connection with an application for): If, for example, this is being filled in by a U.S. citizen or resident petitioner, that person should check “Other,” and write “in support of [spouse's or other family member’s] I-130.”
