Initially we were going the route of the K-1 but ultimately decided the CR-1 would be more conducive to our situation. Here is the dilemma: our package was returned for out of date forms. The G325-a expired at the end of 2012. I've gone to the USCIS website directly to download the form and all they have is the expired form. Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, how long do they take to update their forms? Everything else in our package is ready and done properly, this is the only thing holding us up.

Thanks.

We are just getting our package ready but that is the only G-325a they have on there and it says expires Aug.31, 2012 That is a little frustrating.

Obviously that is not the case seeing as the reason my package was returned was because the form was out of date. So either they have not updated that or the G325-A is excluded.

The latest revision of the G-325A is dated 8/8/11.

The latest revision of the I-130 is dated 12/18/12.

Are those the two versions you sent?

Yes and it was returned because the G325-A expired. They accept revisions prior to 8/8/11 but not this one.

Resubmit your applications, together with a cover letter explaining their error.

They screwed up. It happens.
