Nope - Not anymore

Effective 6/12/09 the form has been revised to only one page (the previous edition is however still curretnly being accepted)

Using the new edition should help to save a few trees a year!

I have been seeing this a lot of places. The one I filled out is only one page long. So there should only be 1 G-325A from me and 1 from him, correct?

Thanks :D

I'm currently in the process of finishing up my packet as well and I'm only sending in 1 G-325A (with 1 photo) for myself and my fiancee. I'm wondering if there should be a sticky note on this topic. I've seen it come up again and again ... even though four copies are no longer required. :)

does it matter if I send my divorce certificate or my divorce decree?

It won't hurt if you send a copy of both, to be on the safe side...

I don't know! And told me that as soon as NSO forwarded the requested documents, visa will be delivered. Oh well...)

The immigration attorney who reviewed my packet (free consult!) told me she had just gotten an email from USCIS the day before saying they still needed four each.

I mailed four signed/dated copies each [8 total]. Since the rules are unclear, I'd send the four each. It's faster for them to pitch the extra copies than for them to send you an RFE.

*Update*

For some reason my packet was sent back by military postal system due to an error on the address. Oh well it gives my one more time to check everything again, so this is what have:

1-129F

Divorce Decree/ Divorce Cert

G-325A (hers and mine) /Fiancé Letter of Intent

Passport/Birth Cert

1 passport photo for both of us

Pictures to prove the relationship

Check

Whichever one specifically ended your divorce, which is usually the decree. I'd send both, just to be sure. You can't be too careful when it comes to the either/or type of thing.
