NewDay2006 Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 (edited) There is a portion on the G325a that asks for the name to be written in the native language... does that apply to my ladies 14 year old son? should he write in his name?

david_dawei Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 The child does not have to fill this form out... Someone can correct me if this is wrong... I don't mean simply saying "I sent one"... Is it definitively mandatory for a child or not ? I know we have some who sent and who did not send.. This always tells me that those that sent, did so unnecessarily, and those that did not send one had no problem..I cannot recall an RFE... (which would change my tune)... This is what I collected on children some time back for K# and CR1... but I'm glad to be wrong... Link to comment

If either or both have a language that has native characters for their name, the NAME must be written in ONE SPOT, in those native characters. It is not a signature. It does not matter who writes the characters. There is ALSO a place for a signature. The signature should be how the person signs their name. In my case both places on all G325a forms for Chinese beneficiary, have the name written in Chinese characters because the respective beneficiaries sign their name that way. If you file an I-130 for the child, then the child signs the associated G325a, BECAUSE the child is the beneficiary on that petition. Also the name is written below in Chinese characters. If you ONLY file an I-129f, there is no G325A for the child. Edited June 16, 2006 by pushbrk (see edit history) Link to comment
david_dawei Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Issue is that [some] past members (CR1/CR2) did not submit a G-325a for the child and got approval... None that I know of got an RFE... I'm still waiting to hear that someone got an RFE for not including one for the child... Link to comment

Based on that, perhaps one is not needed when the relationship is parent/child, since the petitioner's name won't appear on the child's G325a. Link to comment
frank1538 Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 If I recall correctly, the G-325a if only required for the spouses (husband and wife) when filing the I-130 and is not required for the children. Link to comment
david_dawei Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 As an interesting aside... For AOS, a applicant only files the G-325a if between the ages of 14-79... If a child truly was expected to file this with the I-130, I'm not sure if those age ranges apply here. Link to comment
