I asked the same question to my attroney before filing. And he said it shouldn't matter but if I knew the dates he will include in there.
So I provided a copy of my OPT and I think he answered Yes and entered the related info.

gc0907 - Thanks for your response.
Did every one wrote name in native alphabets in form G-325A?
I did.....

Guys,
Have a question regarding completing G-325A, Biographic Information for my spouse. My mother-in-law does not have a last name per the records. Should I just leave the maiden name blank?? Also her name is inconsistent in my wife's passport and birth certificate. I am worried if it is going to raise any issues. Say her name is PramilaKumari, it is mentioned as Pramila Kumari(making it look like first name and last name) in my wife's passport and listed as PramilaKumari(one word) in my wife's birth certificate and markscards.
Appreciate your responses.
Thanks
I had the same question in my mind , my mother has no maiden name and also the names were a total mismatch. When I had asked my attorney he said "NOT TO WORRY" and he said this piece of information is necessary and will be used when you will file GC for your siblings. For instance after I become a citizen , I decide to sponser my sibilings or parents then this filed is of concern where the documents produced by the sibilings should match that name.
What I did - I entered the full name I know for which I dont have any proof , may be their passports but not quite right. so i would say no worries.
Passports won't have maiden name . It will have name 'after' marriage isn't it?
A couple of unrelated points I wanted to make that might help some folks.
a) My lawyer's fee (NYC area) is $500 for my wife's application (My fee was higher but my company paid for that). Pretty cheap I think, especially for the NYC area, but I could only send my application in today because I was traveling in late December and then she had chicken pox for the first half of January.
b) Cheapest PHX area civil surgeon is Dr. Uma Sopori in Tempe. $200 per person.
c )It took me almost a whole week to get all the documents organized although I'd already done a lot of the leg work earlier (getting our vaccination records, correcting our birth certificates, finding and organizing our old EADs/I20s, etc), so make sure you factor in that if you want to get your application in by the 1st of the month.

Pedro,I did the medicals with Concentra Medical Centers. I do see there is one in Tempe, AZ.
They just charged $191.50 per adult and $151.50 per child.
Yes, you are right. Its always better to keep the support documents ready and just work on the Medicals, I485, EAD, AP and Affidavit of Supports when eligible to file.
It took 8 business days for my family and I to complete the forms and the Medicals. We are ready now
Typed-in whereever possible.
My lawyer did most of the form filling part and I just checked my information was correct.
We communicated mostly on mail for any changes. Once all was final he gave green signal to sign the forms and mail him the package.

In the i-485 application, should the Form G-325A's Job title and Job history match what was submitted in the i-140 application and/or Perm application?
In my case, my approved Perm's job title was Computer Software Engineers, approved i-140's job title was Product Manager. Please advise.

I filled them out handwritten, and highlighted the fields I wasn't sure of, sent it to the lawyer who typed them in (or rather the paralegal did), filled out the parts I wasn't sure, and sent them back to me to double check, sign and send back to her to send to the USCIS
My PERM and I-140 application had the same title but my lawyer specifically asked me to get the EVL with the PERM title, duties and salary.

Today my company (desi consulting co.) send me email stating that "company came to know that my priority dates are current and company will file GC (I485) for me. Before company file my GC (I485) I have to sign a contract with them (they have email me 19 page legal (lawyer) contract). Company GC contract state that if I leave company in 18 months after filing my I485 than I have to pay $25,000/- (cost for filing my I485) to company and other bla..bla..bla.."
I was luck to know all this kind of things from senior(old) H1B friends. Taking there advice I had filed my I485 by my own lawyer without letting company know.
Reason I am posting this here is my other friend working for desi consulting also received similar letter from his company.

Once you get your greencard, check with your lawyer to see if you can sue them for inappropriate practices. If not for money, for justice - bring the mofos down!
PS - my wife had complained about labor practices of her company in the Department of Labor because they would not pay her dues after she resigned. The DOL was supportive and she recieved all the money back. The DOL had asked if any inappropriate practices had prevailed in the company and my wife had the chance to bring them down, but our main issue was the money that was due so we just stuck to that.

I don't want to do this because my company have approx 150+ H1Bs. I don't want to screw there GC process. Infact I would spread company name and company directors name on forums. Just wait for few more months to come...

Why would others be affected? Anyways, I am glad you are on top of and in control of your situation. What they did just made me very angry.

Hmm..my lawyer has told me this:
Although the PERM application indicates that your job title since this date was Software Engineer, the I-140 application indicates that your job title has continuously been Product Manager. It is suggested that we follow what's written on the I-140 application and will display the information on the G-325A accordingly.

Typed and hand written combination should not be a problem IMO. Important thing is there should not be any 'whitener etc' used to correcting the entries.
Yeah that's thats case for most of us I believe.
Do we have to submit 3 sets of I-94, I797 , other supporting docuemnts with I485 applications ?. One for each I485, EAD, AP , or just one set is fine.
Some attorney's are asking for 1 set and some are asking for 3 sets. Please advice.
It should be 3 sets. My attorney asked me 3 sets (Me, MyWife and Daughter), buddy.
Guys, it seems that most of the documentation required for 485 can be secured fairly quickly except for birth certificates and the medical exam? Am I correct in assuming this? Also, is there an acceptable time frame for the medical exam? What if I get it done 2 months before filing for 485? thanks.
Randomax,
Forget the medicals and get the other documents in line and be ready. Ramchan & Nishant has pretty much summed up all the required supporting documents.
Check the posts #1 and #19 in this forum for the document list.
You can get the medicals done as soon as you are eligible to get 485. But get your vaccination records in place. Good luck
The medicals are valid only for 1 year and you can get an appointment within a week (MAX). I got an appointment in a day.

For G-325A Question on mother's last name, what did you guys mention ? It asks for maiden name, so should we be giving mother's last name before her marriage ? Or is this another trick question in USCIS forms?
I also got puzzled by question like " Class of Admission" on I-131. For me i last entered US on F1 but later status changed to H1B. I thought F1 would be right answer, but lawyer says NO. H1B is right answer. What USCIS really wants to ask is the current status.
Yes MaidenName = Name before Marriage. It could be both First and Last name as in some parts on India they even change Firstname after marriage.
