Mada a mistake on I-129F

[milena stankovic 0]

Need some help! I just noticed that we missed a checkbox on our I-129F application and we are planning to send a letter with the correct information to USCIS. Our case is at the California service center. Does any know what the correct mailing address is ? All I have is this address - 24000 Avila Rd, Laguna Niguel, CA 92677, United States, but I'm not sure if it is correct. 

 

I'd appreciate if there's someone who can advise me on this.

Did you get a receipt number yet? 

 

This is the best I could find on the subject.

 

 

Correct USCIS Form Entry Mistakes After Submission

Wait for NOA1

In order to correct USCIS form entry mistakes, wait until USCIS has received your application. As a result of receiving the application, USCIS send you a receipt notice. namely, this is called Notice of Action 1 (NOA1). As a result, a unique receipt number will be assigned to your case.

For this purpose, this number helps you contact USCIS regarding your case. As a result, USCIS is able to locate your case using this number.

Call USCIS Customer Service Center

Once you receive this notice, call USCIS. Then, tell the customer service agent that you made a mistake on your form. In addition, request if they can fix the error. If the change is a minor one, the customer service agents may be able to fix it. However, at times, they may need some time to fix the error. As a consequence, they will provide you with a reference number. Under those circumstances, quote this number when you call back to check if the error has been fixed.

Send in Information, If Needed

In addition, they may ask you to send in something explaining the mistake.

The customer service agents may not be able to help you if the error is a serious one. In this case, you will have to send a letter to the USCIS quoting your receipt number and explain the mistake. You may also have to fill, sign and send a new form with supporting documents along with this letter, as per the instructions provided by the immigration agent who spoke to you.

If your letter reaches USCIS on time, they may accept the correction and start processing your case . However,  if it is too late and if the agency has already started to work on your case, your letter may not be considered. In this case, you will be sent a Request for Evidence (RFE) . If you receive a RFE letter, send the documents the USCIS requested and corrections, if any, within the time the USCIS has provided. You will not have to pay any additional fee for this.

However, if your mistake is a serious one and your case is rejected, you will have to start the application process again. In addition, you pay the fee again.

What checkbox was missed?

Part 2, number 53 - that we met in person before filing for our petition and number 55, (IMB) not meeting through any international broker. We both provided written statements of how we met. However, I'm just stressed out not having checked those boxes off.
