(d) Disposition.
If the final disposition was not entered on the criminal card when furnished the FBI, Form R-84 shall be
submitted as outlined in OI 242.5. Final disposition includes adjustment of status by any means to that of a
lawful permanent resident, termination of deportation proceedings, release as United States citizen or lawful
resident alien, or death, as well as departure or deportation.
OI 105.10 Agency checks of applicants and petitioners.
(a) Use of Forms G-325, G-325A, G-325B, and G-325C.
An applicant or petitioner shall be required to submit Form G-325, G-325A, or G-325C, as appropriate,
when called for by the instructions for completion of an application or petition, or the relating regulations or
OI's.
Form G-325 shall be used to check the records of the FBI Identification Division or Records Branch, or
both; Form G-325A to check the records of the CIA, or a consul (in adjustment of status cases), or both, in
addition to FBI checks, and G-325B to check records of other agencies. In a naturalization case the field
office shall complete sheet 3 of Form G-325A if a check of CIA records is desired, and Form G-325B if a
check of the records of any other agency (except the FBI) is desired. Form G-325C shall be used for
overseas refugee applicants as indicated in paragraph (e) of this OI. (Revised)
If a check of agency records is deemed appropriate in connection with an application or petition in which
such check is not normally made, the field office shall complete Form G-325, G-325A, or G-325B, as
appropriate, and note the signature box "Prepared by INS."
A check shall be requested only if the applicant or petitioner (or a child beneficiary in a naturalization
case) is 14 years of age or older. A FBI identification check shall not be requested for any such person who
is more than 79 years of age.
If the response to a previous check of the FBI Identification Division or Records Branch is less than 15
months old at the time adjudication of any application or petition is made, or at the time of final hearing on a
naturalization petition, an up-to-date check shall not be made unless there is reason to believe that additional
pertinent information is available.
(b) Processing of Forms G-325, G-325A, and G-325B.
Check to assure that all sheets are legible and complete. If sheet 1 prepared by an applicant or petitioner
is so illegible as to be useless for the required purpose, the applicant or petitioner shall be called upon to
submit a legible form; otherwise the illegible copies shall be completed by the field office. Insert any missing
information from the data in the relating file. Such insertion shall be made on all sheets and shall appear in
red on sheet 1.
Stamp the following information in the INS box of sheet 2 and 3: (Revised)
Office Code
Type of Case
Data
The data shall be the date of mailing to the agency. The file shall be noted to show each type of record
check requested and the date of the request.
Stamps and notations on Forms G-325A, B, and C shall be made strictly in conformity with this OI.
Sheet 1. Retain sheet 1 in the file with the application or petition. (Revised)
Sheet 2. On sheet 2 (Rec. Br.) at the bottom of the INS box print or stamp "Prior response received
(date)," if Form G-325 is being submitted to the FBI Records Branch within 15 months from the date of the
last response; in addition, if the file contains any narrative reports from the FBI, insert the file number and
date of such reports. If additional space is needed, insert "See reverse" and list the reports on the reverse.
