Rejected for address, help!!

[meadow 2]

Please help! I just got the I-797c notice that my I-129f was rejected. It says that ¨The application/petition has not been fully completed. One or more of the following field(s) were not completed: - Your Address¨.

I have 3 possible guesses as to why it was rejected:

1. I am the USC but am currently living in Mexico City with my fiance. However, mail here is unreliable so I included a supplemental sheet in which I clarified that I had put down my current address, but would like to receive mail at my permanent residence in the US. Maybe this was too confusing?

2. In my address on the I-129f where it says ¨state or country¨I put `DF`, instead of ´Distrito Federal`or ´Mexico´. I also handwrote the street address, although I wrote it very neatly.

3. Because my physical address is unreliable for mail, I put down an organization where I worked as mailing address on the I-129f, but put down my physical address in Mexico on the G-325a.

I`m planning to eliminate the letter and just receive mail in Mexico to avoid that confusion, and to write Mexico instead of DF on all of the forms. Should I just put my mailing address as my physical address too even though I don't live there?? If they took my passport photos and evidence photos and put them in their own bags before mailing it back, can I just leave them as is or should I put them in plastic bags again? Is there anything else I can do guarantee that it's accepted this time??

Thank you!

If I were you, I would wait until you receive the petition back in the mail. It may have an explanation on what they are looking for that was missing. It might be hard to speculate right now.

Also, just resubmit the petition exactly like you did the first time, with the corrected information of course. Do you have a relative you can use for an address in the states? If you use your address in Mexico, write it out EXACTLY as if someone were to write you a letter and send it to you by mail.

Just a side question, have you thought about marriage and a DCF with the Embassy in Mexico? It says in the Embassy information page on VJ that they accept them.

Good luck!

Thank you, Bumbero, for the fast response! I actually got the rejection notice in the same package with my whole petition (including the returned check) but without further explanation. I´m also now wondering if the address was rejected because Mexico City addresses have a different format than US addresses.

My address here is Street Name 111, Colony Name, Mexico City. I had put the Street name and number as well as the colony name in the street line. If I write "see attached supplement" in the street line, can I leave the city and country names blank and put all of the information on a different sheet?

I had looked into doing the DCF, but I've been living in Mexico on a tourist visa (I came down here as a long-term volunteer,and am now working as a long-distance consultant for a US organization)so I'm ineligible for that.

Thanks again!

Unless someone here corrects me, which is possible, yes, I would use a seperate sheet and put "see attached for address" on the petition. Then on the seperate piece of paper PRINT out the entire address with NO abreviations.

Ok, thanks! Sorry for another question but i really don't want to mess up again... Should I write "Mexico City" or "Ciudad de Mexico" as the city??

I think the abbreviations and supplement sheet probably did trip them up. If you can get the mail that is sent to your US address, then use it instead. It has always been advised to use a US mailing address on the I-129F so you can receive your important notices from the USCIS. Mail in Mexico is terribly unreliable and while the NOA1 receipt notice might not be that important to have a hard copy of, the NOA2 approval notice is. It will be needed for AOS after you are married.

Thank you for the feedback! My doubt about using my US address is that while my permanent residence is in the US, I have been living in Mexico for the past two years, and with my fiance for the last 6 months. In terms of evidence of relationship and writing down addresses for the past 5 years on the g-325a, it seemed to make more sense to put Mexico. Can I write down a mailing address in Mexico on the I-129f (it's an established organization with slightly more reliable mail)and put down my physical address in Mexico on the g-325a (And for both of them put "please see attached" in the blank and have a supplemental sheet with the full address, explaining that the address format is different in Mexico)? Thanks again for the help!
