G325A form

[shyamni]

Hi,
My son is applying for my Green Card.I have filled up I-130,I-484,I-765 forms

Who has to fill up G-325A form. Also in the last line do I( have to state as Adjustment of Status to Green card or anything else. I am in US now on B2 visa. I came in during first week of July. Is it the right time to apply for adjustment of status in US

Thanks

You BOTH have to fill out a g-325a, for the I-130. In them put the reason as "I-130 petition"

And YOU have to fill out another g-325a, for the I-485. In that one put the reason as "Adjusting of Status / Permanent Residency"

The time looks right for AOS, if this was in fact NOT PLANNED.

Thanks. That's a prompt reply :-)
The Green card option was not planned when I landed here. All the same I wanted to be sure about the rules. Thanks again

Permanent Residency IS the Green Card.

Hi,
Another clarification needed from you.

My Son has been in USA for the past 14 years. In his G 325 A form to sponsor me for I-130, does he have to fill in his stay details outside the USA for the past one year,though he stayed in India only before 1994 (Question under line 7 of the G325A form) Also does he have to give details of his employment outside India eventhough it was for 3/4 months before he came to USA for his MS in 1994

[PraetorianXI]

Every person filling out a G-325a has to include ALL employment and ALL information.

Dear Praetorian XI

I am a little confused. The instruction of I 130 specifies that only for sponsoring Husband or wife , both have to fill up G325A form.

For sponsoring Father or mother you need to submit only Birth certificate of the sponsor and marriage certificate of his parents. It doesnot say anything about G325A form for son and father.

IN I 485 form it says about the G 325A of the applicant , that is father and here also there is no mention of the same for son.

Can you please clarify which is correct

[PraetorianXI]

You are correct. G-325a is only needed for the I-485. And the "answers" is that the petition is regarding "Adjusting for permanent residency".

[shyamni]

Thanks a lot for your immediate response.

Dear Praetorian XI

I had applied for I 130, I 485 and I765.
I have Receipts for all these forms. The Receipt number starts with MSC. But if I try to check the status it says that the receipt number is wrong. The number should start with WAC , EAC etc.

What does MSC mean?
