I spoke with USCIS Customer service last week (feb 16) and the woman I spoke with told me I could send in my I-129F with all of the evidence except my fiance's signed papers and passport type photo.

The reasoning behind this was Feb 20th was the 2 year point from the last time we saw eachother.

I sent the packet complete with my G-325A and passporet pics, plus evidence of meeting and ongoing relationship.

The woman at USCIS said that I could send just the I-129F and the Fee by themselves and that would "get my foot in the door" as far as the deadline on the Two year timelimit.

Anyone else ever run into this?

My Fiance is a Flight attendant and it just turned out that everything went wrong this last month with her being able to print out and send me all the forms.

According the USCIS customer service lady I should be recieving a Request for information requiring the missing documents.

Does that sound right?

Also, as a side note. When will the CSC Cash my check for the fee??? Will they do that before they have the completed application or when they recieve the I-129F?

If they don't reject upon reciept - they go through the list to make sure you have all required docs (not that their correct - just that they are in the package).

However, I think you might be in trouble - I think the date USCIS goes by for the (2yr mark) is when they accept the petition (date it gets past the door) - if that date is after the 2 year mark, they will reject it (later, when they finally look at it in detail)

Interesting case - I looked at some rejected cases on the USCIS site and saw some rejected when they were only a few days past the 2 yr mark - hope you made it in time.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

The NOA1 is proof of receipt...in other words, proof that they received your petition, entered you into the system, and cashed your check. Most peoples' NOA1 date is the same day that they cashed the check. You should receive your NOA1 hardcopy in about 1-2 weeks, but don't freak out if it takes longer. NOA2 is the most important notice other than the visa itself.

Good luck.

They signed for it on the 18th (20th was deadline) and I just saw they cashed the check, looks like they deposited it on the 19th, so i think thats a good sign right?
