K1 forms (Re: G-325A)

[0NI 110]

We are currently prepping our papers for K1 and one of our friends who is also in the process of filing their K1 visa (they have an immigration lawyer to assist their petition) told us that we need to include the G325A together with the I-129f based on what their immigration lawyer's list.

 

Do we really need the G325A form? Because i was reading previous post (around 2018) and it says the I-129f is updated and all the details that's in G325A is already in the updated form I-129f.

 

Is this correct?

 

Thanks.

G325A was eliminated more than 2 years ago .  You might want to rethink your choice of forms preparer

I got confused  because I checked the forms checklist at the USCIS website and it does not include the G325A.

 

I wonder if the lawyer they got is updated on the forms.

Might want to rethink that lawyer if they are using checklists or guidelines from almost 2 years ago. Something tells me they either don't handle a lot of K-1 cases or they don't really put much care into them.

I was thinking that too. Thank God I chanced upon this forum.

Correct. That change happened with the 04/10/17 edition; https://web.archive.org/web/20170601190714/https://www.uscis.gov/i-129f:

Starting 06/09/2017, we will only accept the 04/10/17 edition. Until then, you can use the 12/23/16 edition.

No, not correct.  That lawyer is wrong.

Looks like they got a "winner" lawyer.

Lawyers aren't necessarily experts. There was one on here a few months ago asking questions.
