G-325A form on uscis website expires 5/31/09 ???

Hello all, this looks like an awesome resource for this convoluted and painful process of immigration, and I'm hoping someone knows the answer for this...

I'm in the process of filling out the I-129F (and accompanying G-325A) and I noticed that the G-325A form that I downloaded from the uscis site (www.uscis.gov/files/form/g-325a.pdf) says "Exp. 5/31/09" in the top right corner of every page.

It is now 6/2/09... do I need to wait on sending in my packet until they update the forms on the website?

I tried to call the 800 number listed on the form, but they say my request to have a form mailed to me will take 5-10 days... any advice?

Thanks much!

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.

Ahhh.... cool. Yeah, I was not sure if the date was in reference to the from, or the OMB information. That makes a lot of sense, just good to double check.

Thanks a lot!!!

I'm in the same boat, sending my application through this week but used the forms expiring 5/31.

Previous editions of most forms are acceptable to use unless otherwise stated here USCIS - Immigration forms

Hmm, I was wondering the same thing as well, since I am planning to send my application sometime this month or next month.

Again, the form it self is NOT expiring, only the period of time that USCIS has to complete an internal survey. That date is for internal use only.

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.
