Yes, send it directly to CSC and make sure it is labeled clearly as for a spouse and K3. Do you have a copy of your cancelled check to incluce as evidence of filing? Case number?

Actually prior to July 30th the I129F for K3s goes to the Chicago lockbox.

You must show evidence that an I-130 has been filed. I don't think a proof of just mailing it would be enough. I believe they want a copy of the NOA1. You can try to send it without proof but don't be surprised if you get an RFE. You only filed about two weeks ago. Sit tight, I'm sure your NOA1 will arrive any day now.

Your information is out of date. In the same memo that indicated filing instructions would change July 30, they indicated they would accept petitions filed that way now. Several of our members have successfully filed I-129F peititions for spouse, using other evidence, such as cancelled checks etc.

You will need some evidence of having filed. Check out the May and June K-3 filers thread, some have done this. Try calling USCIS customer service to get your receipt number. Then include a printout of your case status from the web site. Your receipt number for the I130 should give you the proof they want.

wahrania,

You may get away with sending the I-129f without a Receipt Notice for an I-130, but not without sending some other evidence of having submitted an I-130.

Hi and best wishes!!

1) It is pretty important to have your Receipt# and the I-797C to attach to the I-129f. Had you used a CHECK instead of a Money Order, you could have gotten this number from the back of the cancelled check.

2) We filed our I-130 and got our I-797C back in about 3 weeks from CSC. I did not feel that was a long time to wait. Be patient and wait for your I-797C and when it comes...make 10 copies of it for your records (a little overkill never hurts) in case anything else ever comes up. Besides you want many souvenirs of this process, don't you??? :whistle:

3) Yes, you could and can do just about anything you want with your papers. BUT, why risk them getting lost or misplaced without the proper I-797C attached? I recommend you wait a week or 10 days and something should happen.

Good Luck!!!

I still havent gotten it but my lawyer did. I do not know how I never ended up getting one. I do not think they send you them if you have an attorney.He emailed me yesterday and let me know he had received it. They got picked it up on the 25th and by the 2nd of July my NOA1 was issued which is one week which I think is pretty fast. Its already at the CALIFORNIA PROCESSING CENTER. I do not think I will be getting notices of Action because I think the lawyer will get them and not me.
