Screwed Up! Just sent in form and fee!

[JustJanis 2]

So I wasn't even thinking.. I read the directions for the I-129F and thought that all the stuff they were asking for was to be brought to the interview. It was only recently that I realized... they wanted all that stuff with the form!

I just sent in the fee and the I-129F form. That's it. I have all my paperwork, such as divorce papers, Statement of Intent, G-325A forms... Now I'm waiting (not patiently) to call them on Monday. I need to see if they will let me mail in all my stuff to add to the form I mailed in. If not, I'll have to wait to be denied, then re-file, which will cost me more money.. and most importantly, more time! Our petition is schedule to be reviewed in Feb. I got my NOA1 saying the form was accepted on 9/14/10 and is due to be reviewed.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Will they let you mail in the information and just add it to your form? Seems like more work for them to deny it and then make me totally reapply...

.. Boy, I feel so incredibly stupid. Anyone have any advice at all? (And please, no telling me how stupid I am.. cause I already feel awful enough as it is..)

That's what I read in the directions too, that the passport photo's, proof of relationship and letter of intent, etc was for the interview only. It's unfortunate that the USCIS website isn't more specific about what to send in. I read on there that you only need to send in the cheque, I-129f, G325A for each of you and the form for getting email notification (optional) so that's all we sent in and didn't get the package rejected but we will likely get an RFE. I understand if they cash the cheque and send the package to the VSC or CSC that it has been accepted and will not be rejected and that an RFE (or in some lucky cases NOA2) is the next step, hopefully that is correct.

I'll be keeping an eye out on this topic for any more info but I sure wished I'd found this website before filing.

Good luck you to... to all of us for a speedy and successful process

Please read my update near the end of Page 3.

If you only sent in the I-129F, the payment, and the Biographical Data sheets.... do what I did!!! (It's all on page 3!)

Thanks. I read your info but what exactly did you send to add to your package? I'm dealing with a timing issue where my USC fiance will be out of country a couple times during our process so I need to try and time things (as best I can) so that he's states side when the paperwork comes so an RFE wouldn't be the end of the world.

Ugh, this is such a difficult and confusing process... but so worth it to be with my forever guy!

I mailed them basically everything that I would have/should have mailed with the original petition: Biographical data, evidence of having met, passport pics, proof of USC citizenship, etc.
