I-129F October 2016 Filers (merged thread)

[Alexy_dez 0]

Actually am a little worried now. I scanned through copy of my application one more time. I just found out i sent only the front copy of my neutralization certificate because the back was empty, but instruction says front and back. I hope this does not trigger an RFE all the other sections were completed 100% spotless.

10/24/2016 .... Package sent

10/26/2016 ...NOA1 email text message received

11/xx/xxx ... Noa1 hard copy (awaiting)

Don't worry, I did the same thing. I've researched that question and everyone said that front only is fine because back is, well, blank. USCIS just needs the number off that certificate really, since they are the ones issued it to you.

Let me know if this works out for you all... The backside of my Birth Certificate was "blank" but after looking closely - it clearly shows the security threads used in the paper which I believe is what they are looking for. Not trying to spook you because believe me - just the waiting process is scary enough. Check for RFE's and you will see people have been nailed on this. The best way to resolve this is to prepare the response NOW. Go make a two sided copy and verify that you can indeed see the security features of the Document on the "blank" back side. Have this ready to express mail the response to the RFE back as soon as you can determine you have an RFE - (RFE received in mail or by checking online status). I dont know what an RFE looks like or how you are notified the quickest... but if you are like me you are checking online and the mail everyday. Hopefully that way you only lose a week due to the RFE I suppose.

I am more of a smart-####### and made a TWO SIDED COPY and in my table of contents I clearly labeled it as: TWO SIDED COPY of Birth Certifcate (FRONT SIDE AND BLANK BACK SIDE AS REQUESTED)

EDIT - Why is SMART-A55 a blocked word?

Well that's pretty scary, i made a copy of the back but its still blank-empty paper. On a 2nd thought i'll prepare a response just in case. Pretty nervous at this point but i have to wait and see

Some people send front only, some include blank paper, seems to be very odd number of cases where it was sent back for not copying the blank back side. In addition, it also could depend on where the certificate was issued as some seem to have watermarks of sort on the back. But once again, if they have your number, which is in the front, shouldn't be an issue.
