DCF - i130 & g-325a

[hello 0]

A friend of mine is preparing the papers for DCF in London and just had a quick question. They are submitting i130 and g325a. Do they need all 4 pages of the g325a?

They are confused and so am i... The form has 4 pages(all the same) - the checklist states 'only send one form, do not send multiple copies of the biometric form'.

Could someone please let me know if i need to send all 4 or just one of these pages.

Thanks

hi. we did DCF so we had to pass ours in in person. they only took on of the G-325 forms one for the petitioner and one for the beneficiary. but maybe it depends on which embassy you will be filing the benefits from. Ours was from the US embassy Manila, Philippines. But to be sure you should just fill out all 4 of the forms. It won't hurt. good luck.

Yes, they took all 4 for ours

London has specific rules for the G-325a that do not seem to be the same as for other consulates. You need only send ONE page of the G-325a; the other three are not required. Both spouses must send the G-325a.

The document checklist (available at http://www.usembassy.org.uk/dhs/forms/i130-checklist_for_spouse.pdf ://http://www.usembassy.org.uk/dhs/for...for_spouse.pdf ) is very clear about this:

Only one form to be completed by the petitioner and one form by his/her spouse. Do not submit multiple copies (even though you might see instructions elsewhere to do so). If extra copies are submitted, they will be returned to you.

Worst case scenario, you do all four sheets and they return three to you. But why do them in the first place if you don't have to?

Embassy in Seoul also needs you to file in person. We took all 4 g325a forms but they only took one each from both of us. The (harrassed-looking) official actually looked a little annoyed but what can I say? The instructions are so vague at that stage.

Just to confirm...if you are DCFing in London... you have to only send one form. If sending to service centre in the US you have fill and send all 4 forms.

Good luck!
