Medical discharge from the service

[SteelFaithU2 3]

The petition required me to submit my discharge form I have from the Navy. I received a medical/general discharge from boot camp; so I wanted to know does this have any significance or impact on the petition? I don't see any reason why it would, unless there was some kind of disciplinary action taken because I broke military law or something, but I didn't. So even though I don't see a reason why I would get any problems, I've know the government has a stipulation for everything.

So I'm just worrying too much waiting for our NOA2. Any thoughts?

Hunh? I wasn't required to submit my DD-214 in order to file an I-129F. I was approved.

So, I'm a bit confused here.

I was never required to submit my DD-214 as well.

Really? In the instructions for the visa, it says to show your discharge papers if you served in the military.

At least I thought it did, i'm going back looking for where it said it in the instructions or forms...

I think you're looking at the I-129F, Part C, Item 1, which says:

1. If you are serving overseas in the Armed Forces of the United States, please answer the following

I currently reside or am stationed overseas and my current mailing address is:

I put "NOT PRESENTLY IN MILITARY SERVICE" for that question and was approved. There is no mention of having to submit discharge papers.

On the G-325a, I added a supplemental sheet showing my overseas address while on active duty and the periods when I was overseas.

That was all...

Ah ok. Well, I'm looking at my scanned document files I sent, and there's no DD-214 form. I think I was going to send it but realized I didn't have to - it's hard to remember now. Thanks for the help though.

Good deal. This process is definitely a PITA sometimes.

My husband (then fiance) didn't fill in anything in that part because the qn was only relevant to those who WERE serving. He never submitted his DD-214.
