G 325 Signature Requirement

[evilmonkey 2]

Hi guys,

I was wondering does a G-325A need to be sign and dated within any specific date range or does it not matter?

I met my fiance in August last year and thats when she signed the forms but for reasons beyond control I was not able to file immediately after getting back to US.

The G235A is dated at 05/28/09 and the letter of intent is dated 7/15/09

does it matter?

I also had kinda the same issue, My hubby signed the G-325a form in August/09 and I didnt mail the package until October/09.... I still recieved a NOA1 so far <knock on wood> I have not recieved any RFE's ....... I dont know the exact limitations on dates... but I think a few months is fine

I generally advise that signatures on those two items are dated after, not before the in person meeting. If I read your post correctly both dates precede your August meeting. If that was the first meeting, I would redo the forms. The dates need not be similar as long as they fall after the first in person meeting.

No Actually that was like the 6th or 7th time we met, she actually mailed me the paperwork before I went to visit her in August. It was definitely after the first time in person meeting which dates back to early 2006.

Just a note:

Make sure any evidence you show for the "2 year met in person" requirement falls within the 2 years of the submission date for the petition.

So if you submit now (jan 21,2010), you can only use evidence from January 21, 2008 onwards.

(stuff from 2006, 2007, jan 1-26, 2008 will not count)

good catch: I actually had this in mind but just wanted to confirm. Also do you think the following would be sufficient evidence for having been met in person and having an ongoing relationship:

(1) 6-7 Passport Stamps / Boarding Passes

(2) Hotel stay invoices

(3) Train / event tickets (such as musicals) having our names on it

(3) Phone records

(4) Email

Yes, that should work - USCIS is concerned with the meeting requirement.

The embassy is concerned with the bonafide relationship and that benificiary will not become a public charge.
