Just wondering...

When you send in the forms (I-130 and G-325A), is it necessary to include the instructions that came with the form? i.e., I-130 is 6 pages: 4 pages of instructions and the actual form which is 2 pages.

We all know how picky government workers can be...

Timeline:

01/31/07 - I-130 fedexed to California

02/01/07 - I-130 received by USCIS California

02/13/07 - received NOA1

04/10/07 - Petition approved (64 days)

04/17/07 - Received NOA2, petition on it's way to NVC

05/07/07 - Still nothing from NVC (those bums!)

----------

04/05/07 - Re-filed I-130 at Tokyo embassy with no problems! (didn't need to canx first petition)

04/12/07 - Petition at embassy is approved (7 days!)

04/16/07 - Received notice of approval from embassy, submitted interview request

04/17/07 - Received notice of interview, which will be May 7

05/07/07 - Had interview at embassy, visa approved!

05/08/07 - Passport with visa delivered!!!!

I didn't confuse them and kept the instructions at home.

Didn't seem to slow the process much.

No, they do not want you to send them the instructions - they are there to help you fill the form(s).

Thanks! That's what I thought (common sense). But you can never tell, and they say that the only dumb question is the one you don't ask.
