Filing Mistake. Not sure what to do, please help.

It depends on the adjudicator. Some will send an RFE, some will deny you.

What you do entirely depends on your preference.

If you're going to wait for the RFE, I would make sure you take the time to gather all the necessary documents, pour over threads about the materials needed to submit, and get everything together.

If you're going to send it in I would recommend the following:

1. Make copies of everything, you don't need to send any originals in, aside from the documents that require signatures. Everything else can be a copy (just make sure the copies of gov't documents show the raised seal) -- you'll need to provide originals at the embassy interview.
2. Wait until you know where your case was transferred to. Just because the Jan/Feb filers were transferred to TSC doesn't mean you were. If you send to the wrong Service Center there's a possibility it'll get lost in the shuffle.
3. Put your receipt number at the top of every single paper, picture, document, etc. This will ensure that it goes to the adjudicator assigned to it.
4. Write a brief concise letter explaining that you didn't understand the process and these are the documents that you should've provided which you didn't. Keep it short & simple. The adjudicators don't need your life story.

Don't freak out about a denial. You can appeal a denial, and you can always re-apply with everything done right. The wait will suck, sure... but it's just a delay when you will have a lifetime together.

Thank you all again for your responses. Waiting for my fiancee to send his half of the papers the signatures over to me. Its been hard since he works a lot of hours. I checked my status online and now it doesnt say july 10 local office anymore, it just says that it was transferred and is processing at a uscis office. Im still so worried sick. I cant believe I made such a mistake. I hope it doesnt get rejected...
