Common confusion points
G‑325R vs. I‑9
Both collect personal info but for different purposes
→ Verify the filing purpose before choosing
Signature line
Some users think notarization is required
→ Only notarize if the accompanying petition specifically asks
Date format
MM/DD/YYYY vs. DD/MM/YYYY
→ Use the format shown in the form instructions
Address history length
Five‑year requirement can be misread as three years
→ Count back exactly five years from the filing date
Multiple marriages
Users often omit prior marriages
→ List every marriage and provide supporting documents
