Moving to IR-1/CR-1 Process and Procedures...

Improved USCIS Form G-325A (Biographic Information)

Form field input font changed to allow entry of dates in the specified format and to provide more space for addresses and employment history. This is the 6/12/09 version of the form; the current version is 8/8/11, but previous versions are accepted per the USCIS forms page.

Because Vermont has been slower than CSC for the past 6-8 months, many files have been getting forwarded to CSC anyway, without ever telling anyone. Since you sent yours to the wrong place and they had to forward it anyway for you, they probably just skipped the missle man and sent it direct to CSC. You have a receipt, you are good to go. Hopefully the instructions regarding preparing the package were more carefully followed than the instructions regarding where to send it.

Good luck

Ditto what the others have said. My I-130 was also supposed to go to VSC, but I got lucky. My NOA2 came just 58 days after NOA1, because it went to CSC. If it had gone to VSC, I might be lucky to make it in 150 days.

Ouch! What's a "missle man?" I'm not sure how you sent it to the wrong place, because NY goes to the Chicago lockbox like everyone else. Gary and Alla, don't worry-you read the instructions fine so ignore negativity. Like the rest said, you're lucky to go to CSC! Hope it goes well!

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

"missle man" is code for "middle man" typed with fat fingers. :blush: But now you know what Alla answered when her girlfriends asked "does he have fat fingers?" LOL
