Some questions

[~Alessa~ 26]

1. If forms are already "expired" is it necessary to fill out new version of that form? Seems like previous and current versions are completely the same.

2. Is it really necessary to send forms with original ink signatures? I’ve read some people sent copies and everything went fine.

3. Letters of intent and G-325a should be with very recent date? Or it could be 6 mons old date?

4. What if I don’t know where is my father is living right now? Fill out this item into g-325a form like "unknown"?

The answers are my opinion and are best to my knowledge. Others with more experience may know better. Hope it helps.

1. If forms are already "expired" is it necessary to fill out new version of that form? Seems like previous and current versions are completely the same. ** Check on state website to see if previous forms may be used. **

2. Is it really necessary to send forms with original ink signatures? Ive read some people sent copies and everything went fine. ** Letters of intent and G-325a's should be wet ink. As well as I-129F **

3. Letters of intent and G-325a should be with very recent date? Or it could be 6 mons old date? ** I would suggest 30 days max. **

4. What if I dont know where is my father is living right now? Fill out this item into g-325a form like "unknown"? ** Yes- if you are not able to get this info. **

Hello Alessa,

1. I think it is best to use the most current form. Expired form may get you an Request for Evidence (RFE) where they make you redo it. Here is a list of expired docs that they will NOT accept and the replacements:

2. I also don't understand the "original ink" requirement because it can be faked either way. Just to be safe, we made sure is was "original ink" on the i134, affidavit of support (we could not get the form to her country in time so i had her sign my signature for me with "original ink") after i email the completed pdf.

3. The letter of intent date we decided to change when the beneficiary went to the interview so it was in alignment with our wedding date. G325A was only redone when the beneficiary got to the US and we started on the permanent residence card.. so it had to change (plus the form was new).

4. I (us petitioner) also did not know where my father is. I think i put unknown.

Thank you so much for reply!

And what ink did you use for signature in forms? blue or black? I was reading some topics here and seems like blue is better...
