I sent only photocopies of everything as part of I-130 process. I don't think it is an issue, all depends on which donkey gets your application :rofl::rofl::rofl:

This was my list:

1. Completed and signed form I-130

2. Filing Fee $355 payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security

3. Copy of my Naturalization Certificate to prove the U.S citizenship

4. Completed and signed form G-325A and photograph of the petitioner

5. Completed and signed form G-325A and photograph of the beneficiary

6. Copy of our Marriage Certificate

7. Copies of Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by third parties having personal knowledge of the bona fides of the marital relationship

8. Copy of my Birth Certificate

9. Copy of beneficiary’s Birth Certificate, School Record and Passport

10. Copy Certification (FC-029)

I didnt even know FC-029 was still valid or used, oh well if i get an RFE for it its not a problem because i have 3 "originals" of our marriage certificate. Im just glad that when we got our marriage certificate I thought ahead of time and just got a few of them.

Hi guys.

We got an RFE last Wednesday 30th April. Today our lawyer received the letter from USCIS and all they wanted was a certified copy of our marriage certificate. I believe we sent a photocopy of the original. This has already been sent back to them so hopefully we will be back in the game asap. I'll keep you all posted.

Cheers

Dave

I thought that they only needed a photocopy of the marriage certificate, to be honest I thought that they only wanted copies of everything. This worries me a lot because I sent photocopies of everything. :crying:

me too

I LOVE MY HUSBAND!!!!!!!!!!!

Sarah, Sgr and Paris, Already Gonzales pic is in my underwear :rofl::rofl::rofl: I got approval since he left USCIS :rofl::rofl::rofl:

:rofl::rofl: hilarious Loto!!! have you got it poised so he can kiss your #######??? :hehe::rofl::rofl:

Oh Sarah, No, I pray you dont. If I get RFE it's for no copy of back of birht cert. "I did tht too Sarah" and I forgot on the G-325A forms bottom of form with heavy lined black box to put his name on his and my name on mine, for the I-130 petition.

Oh yeah, no picures in plastic bags, on both petitions I-130 & I-129F I took stock of those suckers this weekend, Ha Ha

The rest Im just praying is alright Sarah. But did include cert. copy of our marrige license. Thank God for small favors.

Paris Heart

Paris, it looks like you and me are flying by the seat of our pants :lol: I hope we get the adjudicator who isn't pedantic ... guess we'll find out soon hopefully.

I've lost track now how many things I have to prepare for the possible RFE .... I thought it was just plastic bags :blink: .... to be honest, I do find this all a bit gay .... how many copies and certified copies and originals do they want ???? (NVC want it all again remember) ..... plastic bags vs paperclips ...... probably best to do up a whole new packet with certified originals of everything to send with it all being absolutely perfect .... oh, yeh .... I didn't photocopy my last one, so I have no idea what I wrote on there and it's possible I could've made a mistake and left something out as I was in a rush ... so they'll probably add another RFE for that thinking I'm trying to screw with their system.

Goodness gracious, this all certainly a challenge ..... next they'll want us to provide a small bullock and a virgin :pop:

any minute now.....

Here is my story. I've lived problem free life, payed my taxes. One day I decided to marry this girl. But to do so would require her to come to US of A, and so it started. My problem free live turned in to free problems from USCIS! Sure things turned to unsure, certain dates turned to aproximation within months. All logical thinking was out the door, as I filed my papers withing famous Vermont Centre!

That's great news .... I hope I'm in your box as it would be good to know if I've truly screwed this all up or not.

02/24/2008 is now going to be associated with trauma and I've given up looking everyday as it was starting to 'do my box in'.

There's definately a lot of touching coming from VSC which was something none of us had really heard of up until lately .... very good sign as it means 'someone' is doing 'something'.

Not only is California approving IR, they just approved whole bunch of K1 over the past 3 days. It feels like California just finished something and moved there adjudicators to these catergoies now.

The plastic bags should not be an issue, I was told by USCIS that paperclips were fine. But now that i think about it , what do they know :innocent:

:lol: they also said it was first in first out ..... personally, I think they all make it up as they go along .... hopefully they'll make it up as they go along with my file, as it looks like idiot here didn't read any of the instructions whatsoever :pop:

Oh no! I fear I've caused everyone to start worrying about RFE's. Please dont! I'm sure this doesnt happen to everyone. I just got unlucky and hopefully it's resolved quickly anyway.

Thanks for the support Sarah. One day soon I will be flying the Kernow flag in Pennsylvania and introducing the locals to Pastys!

I did not include my or my wife's birth certificate since it was not in the instructions. Should I expect RFe for this?

NO, NO ,NO ,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! was I suppose to put copy of husbands birth cert. if petition?????????????? I missed that completely. For all the nice people out there, hide your eyes, ####!!!!!!!!!!!! Dumb ---!! :ranting: As soon as I get home , I'm getting a stiff drink and pulling instructions, for I used the old form which was still excepted at time of my filing, I still have filing instructions , and luckily had some damn brains, and copied petitons twice, thank God, CAUSE NEW I-130 instructions is a tad different.

Now decisions: Crown Royal or Jack Daniels??????

Truly happy!!!

New life, new adventures, and a new attitude.
