129-Filing fee

[darkchilde794 5]

Hi!

My fiance submitted our 129-F form last January 16 2009 and he received an electronic confirmation that USCIS received the form. However, he forgot to include the filing fee of $455 and so our application was returned back. He said the file came back with a slip of paper indicating that the fee was missing. He re-submitted the forms again, now complete with a check to Homeland Security and all, last February 02. We have not heard from USCIS nor received any electronic confirmation as before.

So, should we be worried that now we are "blacklisted" and denied forever? And how long does it take to receive that email and for the NOA to be sent to you?

I am so worried and angry but theres no point to be maintain anger so Im just doing worry (for now).

Please help, if possible,

Don't worry, you are not blacklisted or denied. It is not unusual for it to take 2-3 weeks to get your NOA1 so you are within the timeline for that, it just wasn't as fast as last time. Did you send it certified mail? Did he use a bank check? Has it been cashed? These would all be indicators they "have it" even though you do not have the NOA1 yet.

Hi!

Thank you for your reply to my post. Ive been so busy I havent had time to go back to the site but a few days after your reply, the check was cashed and a few days after that, we received our NOA1. So I guess they check to see if you can pay first before they process your application :-P

Thanks!

I think you should be ok since your check has been cashed and you received NOA1 already. If something was wrong you would have received a RFE. Now your package is probably piled up with all the others waiting to be checked out. Good luck in your journey!
