I want to be certain I'm submitting the latest USCIS G-325a form but get concerned as the form G-325a from the USCIS site states at the top: OMB No. 1615-0008; Expires 08/31/2012

The USCIS site later states:

Edition Date :08/08/11.

A new edition of this form is coming soon. In the meantime, customers may file using the 08/08/11 edition.

I'm just nervous as the document states Expired even though USCIS seems to accept this. Why would an official USCIS Doc have an expiration date when they are not abbidding by the expiration date?

Am I ok with this edition of the form?

Thanks.

The expiration date you see is the expiration of the comment period to the Office of Management and Budget. The form itself does not expire and can be used.

Thank you for your help.

Just seemed strange to submit a USCIS Doc with an expiration date past due. Crazy isn't it:-)

Yep, some things about USCIS (and this whole process) are crazy, or can drive you crazy, :wacko: if you let it get to you!

Safest thing to do is to always get the "freshest" available form and instructions from the USCIS website.

Happy trails….

Genesis 2:22-24
Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman, ' for she was taken out of man." For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
