Huge Mistake

[Oki_Surf 0]

So guys need some advice here, I am totally freaking out and want to know how screwed I am....

In my rush to get my wife over here I filed the I130 without the supporting documents. This was back in May, I received notice of receipt so I know USIC accepted the petition. I am still waiting for them to approve it.

So when it comes time for approval - are they just going to throw it out and make me start over or are they going to ask for the supporting documents? I been waiting for my wife and 2 kids for way over 6 months now - I would hate for all that waiting would have been for nothing.

If you submitted absolutely no supporting documents whatsoever then a straight denial is a distinct possibility. You should hope to receive an RFE instead, or even a Notice of Intent to Deny, both of which would allow you to submit supporting documents.

Let’s hope that I get a RFE or a NOID, I don’t think my marriage can survive the wait if I have to start over from scratch. Its good to know there is still hope.

Hi Oku_Surf,

I presume you are in the US right now? Make an appointment with your local USCIS office (Infopass), and ask the officer there for advice. They may recommend you to send in a separate packet with the supporting documentation to the service center. In my case I had missed one piece of evidence, and the infopass officer asked me to write a letter along with the document and overnight it to the service center.
