Q: Do part-time jobs have to be included in the employment history section in the I-130A?
My wife didn't keep careful records of her employment, especially the part-time jobs she had prior to me coming to China.
China measures part-time and full-time differently it seems. In the US, 36-40+ hours is considered full-time, whereas part-time is anything less than that. In China, full-time is anything you have a contract for, whereas part-time is a job in which you have no contract. So, my wife would work at a company for 2 months, or a few days, and then leave, and doesn't even remember the names of the companies she worked at, much less the timeframe she spent there or their address. Do these jobs have to be included on the I-130 / I-130A?
A: ALL employment should be included.
