G-325A

[Moonskin 0]

Hello,

my husband I are currently filling the forms we need for our CR1 but the G-325A seems to be a problem. We filled the infos and everything, what is bugging me is that on top right of the form it says Exp. 05/31/09. The problem is I already sent my forms signed to my husband, and there is anyways NO NEW VERSION of the form on the USCIS website. I don't know what to do and if we can send those so I hope that if we send the ones we have we won't get screwed :S.

Anyone who has info abt it, they are welcome.

Thanks.

That 05/31... date is not relevant - bottom right of USCIS forms gives the actual expiration date - (before you look, that one has passed too) - the form you see here on VJ is the same version as what is on USCIS's site and there is no new version. Don't worry - it is fine.

The date is NOT the form's expiration date, the OMB date is the date that USCIS has to complete a survey to determine the length of time it takes to fill the form out for the paper work reduction act, as mandated by the Office of Management and Budget.

Edition Date :

7/14/06. Previous editions accepted.

When a USCIS form is due to expire, the form and any changes must be reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). If a form expires while it is being reviewed at OMB, the form may still be used. Once a new edition is available, the USCIS website will be updated to ensure all useable editions are listed.

That is the OMB expiration date for data gathering

OMB's predominant mission is to assist the President in overseeing the preparation of the federal budget and to supervise its administration in Executive Branch agencies. In helping to formulate the President's spending plans, OMB evaluates the effectiveness of agency programs, policies, and procedures, assesses competing funding demands among agencies, and sets funding priorities. OMB ensures that agency reports, rules, testimony, and proposed legislation are consistent with the President's Budget and with Administration policies.

In addition, OMB oversees and coordinates the Administration's procurement, financial management, information, and regulatory policies. In each of these areas, OMB's role is to help improve administrative management, to develop better performance measures and coordinating mechanisms, and to reduce any unnecessary burdens on the public.

Every time a form goes past it's OMB survey date, the forum gets flooded with panic questions about this.

I wish the USCIS and DOS would remove that date or simply remove the "EXP" from the date.

A little reading on the USCIS page where the form is posted answers this nicely.

Ya... I asked Ewok to possibly add some sort of indication next to this form (and possibly others) a while back - but obviously that didn't take hold..

it has to be one of the dumbest requirements imagineable... The OMB notification is required on all federal forms...

Thanks for reply.

Yes I have seen the edition on the website, but I still wasnt sure cuz this date on top right is confusing. Tbh, I had not paid attention to it, had taken for granted that the form was good since I downloaded it last week from the USCIS website, but my husband just spotted it and said straight away "expiration date", and that freaked me out, haha ! Yes I know this is quite stupid but it put some doubt on the form and so I prefered to check everything was good before going any further.

Now I know, but you are right, they should do something about it.

Thank you all.
