Here's the link I am going by from USCIS;

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD

"I-129F $170.00

Service Center

11/24/06. Prior edition dated 05/23/06 will be acceptable until 02/18/07."

I should feel okay about it but I must like to worry!

Not sure what to say...on the new form, it says that if the old is received, they'll return it to you with the check uncashed.

Let's hope they don't happen to notice, or they'll cut you a break since it was only released in the last few days of Jan.

Does the posting of the new form mean that the USCIS posting that the 2-18-07 date is now void?

The USCIS themselves said the old I-129F could be used until 2-18-07.

Whew! That's what I was banking on.

This post may be a silly thread but maybe someone else has the same fear of falling between the I-129F expiration date crack.

Relax... you did fine. Worrying too much about the old form won't do any good. YuaAndDan's right so don't sweat. Good luck on your journey! :thumbs:

They JUST updated that form. I filed on Jan 26th and it came out a few days before that. There were lots of problems downloading it too. I just got lucky and could get it. I checked a few days after and they still had the old form up to download... Hopefully those processing the forms notice we are still before the 18th!!! :blink: Good luck and welcome to waiting!!!

Where did you get that old form from?

I hired a lawyer in Thailand because my fiance was struggling and it made it easier for me too, as a single dad.

He had her fill it out and sent it to me. He made a small error/typo and I insisted he correct it and it came back just after the new I-129F was finally posted.

I saw the whole 'new form' then 'old form' posting confusion and knew we had until Feb. 18, 2007 from the USCIS posted accepted date for the old form.

Thanks for the reassurance folks, it really really helps.
