They changed the form. Used to be 4 pages now they only have one. It is a very recent change and people dont want to take the chance of sending only the one just in case, so What people here have been doing is printing 4 pages and signing them all. No photocopies.

They are still accepting "old" form hence the 4 page one, so we assume no one gets in trouble for sending all 4. Just extra precaution.

Also the new format of the form has very little space for adresses so many have resorted to cavemen times and fill the forms by hand! yikes

edit** I have also read of a couple of VJ'ers who have sent the new form, just the ONE page... Have not yet read about them receiving RFE's ... But still when i fill my forms i will make extra copies just in case.

I only sent in one-and sent my husband's four copies (by the time I filled mine out it was the newest version!). When we get our NOA2 I'll post something so people know it's okay to send only one!

And if I get an RFE for it...well, you'll know that too! But I find that doubtful, since there's only one copy on their website.

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!

My husband made an appointment with the local immigration office (Boston) before he sent out the I-130 package. At that time (Feb'09) USCIS still requested 4 copies of G-325A. I guess things have changed since May or June'09 and I've been reading on threads they request only one now. To be on the safe side, I'd go to a local immigration office to double check my package with them :thumbs:

The one page PDF available on the USCIS website is not correct. VJ is advising all members to continue to send in 4 pages.

London Embassy specifically said to send 1 so thats what we did but that was just for them I think.
