G-325A, bio for both or fiance only?

[Jimbo_in_GA 17]

hey folks! My first post here. I've read over the K-1 guide til my eye's were ready to bleed but still have to ask a question. Sorry if I sound dumber than dirt, but for the G-325A, is one of the forms for my bio info and the other for my fiance's bio? or are both forms for HER biographical info and just needs one with my signature and one with her signature? I'm just now finding out that I have to have forms signed by her to add to the 129F packet. I think that and the letter of intent to marry is the only thing my fiance needs to sign. is there anything I missed that she needs to sign before i have her mail those things to me? this site and you guys are great, without it I'd be lost like 400 feet up a bullfrog's butt!

thanks!

Both fill out and sign a G-325a. Signature is optional for a beneficiary outside the US but since she has to sing the letter of intent anyway, have her sign both and send it to you. I had Alla sign a couple balnk G-325a's and I filled them out with her information later.

you need to have a G-325A for both you and you fiancée and she need to sing both the G-325a and the letter of intent. also remember that both copies need to be originals so no fax or scanning.

Re: Guidance for Processing Pending Form I-129F Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) when

G-325A for Petitioner and/or Beneficiary is not Signed and/or Photos not Submitted.

Purpose

To provide field offices with guidance on processing Form I-129F petitions when the accompanying G-325A is missing signatures and/or photographs.

A properly executed Form G-325A is required for all I-129F petitions. Previously it was standard practice to issue an RFE when the beneficiary failed to sign the G-325A and/or failed to submit photographs. From the date of this memorandum, an RFE should not be issued in instances where the beneficiary failed to sign the G-325A and/or failed to include photographs provided that the beneficiary is residing abroad. The beneficiary will be required to sign the Form G-325A and/or submit photographs at the time of visa issuance abroad. It is also not necessary to RFE for the petitioner’s signature on the G-325A, if the petitioner failed to sign it. The signature of the petitioner on the Form I-129F should be deemed sufficient for purposes of adjudicating the petition. Finally, it is important to note that the petitioner’s photograph is still required for the adjudication of the I-129F, so if it is missing, it must be requested prior to adjudication.

Questions regarding this memorandum may be directed through appropriate channels to Mica Pilz of Service Center Operations.

That doesn't mean the person looking at the petition has bothered to read or remember that memo.

Asking questions and using the guides are both great resources and your question has been answered. However, failure to carefully study the I-129F instructions (where the above question is answered clearly) will put you in a position of potentially not having critical information you NEED but didn't know to ask about.
