Should I laugh or cry?

You may laugh, but I'm not sure I can.

I was just going over my I-129 that I recently sent in and preparing to deliver the originals and a copy to my fiancee. I had several binder clips of evidence detailing each of our meetings, each containing a cover sheet. The last one was additional "assorted" evidence" which included cards and letters. When I made the cover sheet for this, I had not yet decided on how many cards or letters I was going to include, so I just put "XXX" in the place of where the number will be (At work, I always use a couple X's in place of dates and other things that I don't have available but will plug in later.)

Well, in my visa packet, I never went back and put that number in. So the very last line in the table of contents for that coversheet reads: "XXX cards and letters." No, I'm not kidding, I wish I were.

I am absolutely beside myself. I'm imagining the reviewer seeing this and thinking I was trying to be funny and burying my petition. My only hope is if they don't read it too closely.

What in the world can I do to rectify this??

should be no prob

All they want is evidence of MEETING in person...passport stamps mostly, relationship stuff is for your interview.

probably will give the person a chuckle in a day of checking papers. I wouldn't worry at all.

No problem. Cover letters are optional and cards and letters are unnecessary for the I-129f. You only need to prove you met in peson one time for the I-129f. Cards and letters do not prove you met in person. I hope you sent COPIES of the cards and letters and kep t the originals for the visa interview where you WILL need to prove an "ongoing relationship" THAT is where cards and letters come in handy. You could have left ALL of it out and still be OK. The "cover letter" could say..."it's all in here, good luck finding it".

Frankly, after doing a K-1, a K-2, AOS for those and then a K-2 to follow and the AOS for that, I got tired of the nonsense and did not do a cover letter for the last AOS. No problems. It is processing along normally and we have already done the biometrics, already have the AP. They found everything I stuffed in the envelope all by themselves. I KNEW they could do it.

I'm sure if there had been an obscene word instead of XXX, no one would have noticed. When the packet gets opened, the check is sent for cashing, and the necessary forms are digitized and readied for processing. It's not clear where the covering letter actually goes.

The cards I sent reference recent meetings we had or trips we took, so they supported other evidence we had, that's why I included them. And yes, I did send copies and my fiancee will have the originals of everything for the interview.

I double and triple checked it, or so I thought. How embarrassing....but thanks to everyone for their comforting words!

I have to say, if the person reviewing it pores over these cards looking for XXX material, he/she will be sorely disappointed!! We didn't send THOSE cards.

I have a friend who is an immigration lawyer, and she said that the reviewers rarely even read the cover letters. They just go in the trash. I wouldn't worry too much about it. This process brings out the paranoia in everyone, and you will have plenty more moments where you worry about little things or big things for that matter. We just do the best we can and hope that everything goes well. You should be fine! Good luck with the rest of your journey.

"XXX cards and letters."

That much dirty talk? You included XXX pics? Now that is going the extra mile to prove a Bona fide relationship!

[SophWeb 25]

I think they would be much more interested in the content rather than the cover letter

[halimandserena 0]

go ahead & laugh....no sense beating yourself up.

if you put numbers on all the other cover sheets I would hope

whoever is working your case will be smart enough to figure out

what happened. lol

im sure you provided them with i smile too.

this immigration stuff is way to stressful......

take care & remember it will all be ok in the end....

Your fine. I'm sure this will not be a problem. Relax....breathe.

It really doesn't matter. The reviewers of your packet have seen it all and would likely just yawn...
