I 129F Instructions! has anybody else been as stupid?:(

[Ilovemyman 147]

zooxahoy, if it makes you feel better i did the EXACT same thing and got the EXACT same response and also felt VERY stupid and ashamed of myself.

i also almost crapped my pants when I got the "Intent to Deny" letter and I'm currently scrambling to put together the evidence packet. I also don't remember exactly what happened that I didn't realize the evidence went with the I-129F, but looking back on the official government instruction sheet now, I can see how it's an easy mistake to make, and I wasn't aware of VJ yet...

how'd it all turn out? any tips for someone in the same place you were at 2 months ago?

Thanks and good luck!

Well, when my fiance sent the things they were asking for, we were approved 8 days later they got the papers

I hope you send the papers on time and get approved.

I did the exact same thing and even made the check out to the wrong department! It has been 2 weeks since they received my partial petition, I never received an NOA 1, they never cashed my check or contacted me with anything. I sent out a new I-129F but this time with all the information needed and also a check made out to the right department. I am worried because I sent out my second petition before they contacted me but I heard sometimes if you mess up as bad as I did they sometimes will not even contact you. Any information for me would be greatly appreciated. I plan on calling on Monday to let them know but I am worried that this is going to cause more problems than problems it will solve. Also I just filled out my first I-129F and I believe it was the actual USCIS website, once you click first steps to getting started all it says is send in the I-129F and a payment fee, it does not say anything about all the other documents.

thanks

Dont be worried, if you sent a new patition to the right deparment they are going to send you your noa1 .

Dont call them, you are going to know from them very soon.

My fiance sent my patition on june 7 and they got the paper june 10 and they sent him the noa1 very quick

Thank you for the reassurance! That is what I was thinking, since it had been about 2 weeks since they received it and they did not cash the check or send me anything I kind of think it might have been thrown out just because I messed up so badly. I also heard if you mess up pretty bad like that, that sometimes they will not send you anything back so I figured I would send another. Thanks for the reply!

The form instructions do indeed tell you what is required to be sent with the I-129F.

You may want to cancel your first check just to be on the safe side.

As I and others have told you, USCIS will not just "throw out" your petition. They either cash the check and put it in line, or send it all back to you. You have another thread on this.
