It was a bad month, so much happening in my house and I decided to file I130 for my parents living in canada at the same time. I sent I130 with their marriage license and my birth certificate. But I forgot my proof of citizenship. 3 hours after I mailed the package out, I had those OMG moment. I tried to stop the mail but doesn't look like USPS is doing its job after getting $11 from me. I am thinking stopping the checks and refile that after a month. I heard that if I get the RFE it will delay for another 5 months (?). Would I get into trouble by stopping the check?

I wouldn't suggest stopping the check. I don't know what will happen if you do, but the idea doesn't sound good to me. Worst case you would get is an RFE and it doesn't necessarily mean a 5-months delay as I've seen a lot of people here, even myself got an RFE (with my own visa processing), but got into the process as soon as they received the missing document.

Take a deep breath. Watch for the mail and respond to it with your proof of citizenship. Good luck!

Just send in your naturalization certificate copy with a cover letter explaining. DO NOT try to stop the check. They will join up the packets together with any luck.

Okok. I will just wait for my receipt number and then send in my proof of citizenship with the receipt number.....if not worst case I would get RFE right? Anybody have experience how long the delay is?

I was born in Hong Kong and am a canadian&US citizen. So, I have to send in citizenship cert or passport I believe.

Hi all,

I got the receipt number. It said it's sending to Nebraska Service center. Should I send the document to Chicago or Nebraska?

Thanks again.

Belinda

I may be wrong, but if I am you, I would wait til I receive the RFE. I imagine they would have a separate stack of files whom they requested RFE from. So if you just send it out without them requesting for it, it may get lost.

That's just my theory though. Somebody here may have a first-hand experience with this type of issue.

Good luck!
