After mailing my wife's and step son's 130s petitions, I realized today, I failed to include his birth certificate in his package. They were sent to the California Service Center, just received today June 7; Should I mail it to the center or wait for a RFE...or will it be sent back for me to refile it ??? Darn.

What should I do??

I had forgot something in my petition as well and called California Service Center. They told me to wait for an RFE and they would request the info I forgot to send as there was no way to assure it would be connected with my file when it got there.

Thanks for the reply. I figure they'll be missing the birth cert, prob hard one for them to overlook! I expect I'll be getting the RFE in a short time.

Wait for an RFE. Sending it now would likely be an exercise in futility as it is unlikely that it would be matched with the file.

I agree with other posters. This happened to me and I didn't wait for the RFE. Made a mess of my case. Also NVC has lost my originals that I had to resend so now I need new copies AGAIN!

Thanks for the replies. I'll just sit tight and wait for the RFE. Would a local office copy of it suffice for now anyway?? I just discovered, we only have that copy of it, and we'll apply at a regional office to get a NBI copy of it for NVC later.

Pfffff! Darn! thanks!
