:help:Help, I'm freaking out right now!!!! I mailed my petition on Friday (waiting for delivery confirmation from USPS, website tracking states they attempted dellivery, but nobody to sign so a "notice was left").

Now I realize that I forgot to print out and sign the FC-029 form attesting that I'm sending copies of documents and have the originals to present if necessary.

Will USCIS send my I-129F petition back to me because of this, even before they begin processing? How crucial is this form?

I could just kick myself. My cover letter does state that "copies of documents submitted are exact photocopies of unaltered documents etc...." and I did sign the cover letter. So if I have this paragraph in my cover letter, does that take the place of the FC-029 form? Any advice or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. And if I'm just second guessing myself obsessively, anyone is welcome to tell me to chill!!

Thanks in advance.

That form is optional. I did the exact same thing and got approved. As long as you have "copies of documents submitted are exact photocopies of unaltered documents etc...." and signed it it makes all your copies "certified". Get ready for a long and stressful wait. You're be second guessing yourself and stress out. It's out of your hands now so take it easy.

Best luck to you and have a speedy process.

Can I say CHILL? Don't worry about the FC-029 form because it's not necessarily needed. In our case, we didn't include it because USCIS is now allowing photocopies over original.

you end up being complete with your loved ones."

Thanks all for the advice! Because the service center that will process my petition (I wish I lived up north somewhere...) and because I've read the timelines, I know I have a somewhat long wait ahead of me. That said...I will definitely try not to second guess myself from now on and be patient. :blush:

Thanks again.
