Is it absolutely necessary to include a G325-A from both my fiancé and I each with our own passport style photo. I’ve heard it both ways that it is and it isn’t necessary to file in my I29F Fiancé Visa Petition. I welcome your thoughts and opinions. Thank you.

The G325-A form is no longer required, but you do still need to include both passport photos. 

If you are going through the visa process and will be interviewing in Casablanca, Morocco, join us over at the

US-Morocco Visa Discussion Facebook Group! :)

Pay attention to the 129f you are using. If it’s the one that requires the g325-A that’s the old version and USCIS will not accept it and you will waste 7 months only to find out you got an RFE. Go on the USCIS website and get the most current 129f.

G325-A was a biographic part and at the moment its included in current form I-129f, no need to add up usless extra pages to your petition.

Did that and absolutely no RFE, but yes passport style photo still needed! Good point on downloading most recent forms only directly from USCIS sites! The K-1 guide should be updated, so the G325 part is removed.

G-325A is not needed. There's not an RFE risk associated with not sending it on any new filing.

They would reject the I-129F filing if using an outdated I-129F. This occurs instead of accepting the filing. So it would certainly delay the process, but it would not take 7 months nor generate an RFE.
