Forgot to include paperwork with I-129F

[player8129 0]

Hi everyone,

 

I submitted my I-129F last year, but today I realized that I was supposed to include a copy of my passport, passport-sized photos, evidence of intention to marry, and evidence of an in-person meeting. All I sent was the form along with a check for the petition fee. I'm worried that my petition will be denied, especially because of how long I have been waiting to get approved. 

 

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Does anyone know if I will receive an RFE or a complete denial?

 

Thank you!

Yes.

Total lack of documentation may trigger denial ..or the agent may be in a kind mood and send an RFE   Cant say which will happen …

 Did you read the instructions for an I-129F? I would expect an immediate denial.  If you are lucky, they will reject the entire petition.  I suggest you read the VJ guide for fiancée visas.

Wow.  Didn't look at even one shred of the requirements, eh?

Consider this an extremely expensive lesson in properly following directions.

 

Both you and your fiancee should research this process better and should review your paperwork together before submission. Otherwise you're both in for more costly mistakes.

Now that you have all those documents in hand , prepare a Hail Mary and send it off ASAP.
 

Write out a “ Supplemental Filing to I-129 F case xyz / Supporting Documentation separated from initial submission in Error “  and mail it out to the address on the Filing Receipt Notice .

 

Also set up a USCIS online account and if allows you to link the case, upload under additional evidence. 
 

Make sure the Intent to Marry Statement ( keep it simple for each of you) reflects a signature date from BEFORE initial submission a year ago. 

 

Try calling USCIS to find out the exact Service Center where your case is currently and if different than the one on your NOA 1 , also send them a copy. 
 

Definitely worth the effort AND don’t lose hope, excellent chances you will get RFE .

And that would be falsifying a document.

It will be at the California Service Center, with 99.9% of the other I-129F petitions.

@Jorgedig , kindly note OP stated that he did not include, not that he had not prepared the Statement of Intent to Marry. My statement is based on giving OP an opportunity to double check his documents and in no way presumes his and fiancé’s intention was NOT to marry. 
 

Your Flagship Fraud/ Falsifying warning is perhaps a bit rash and unfounded..though certainly predictable. At least allow OP an opportunity to respond to ANY scrutiny questions YOU may have..or other posters ( like me) a chance to clarify any such serious allegations you freely dispense.

@player8129, are you playing us?  To answer your question, no.  I have never seen anyone send a naked I-129f.

As predictable as your Pollyanna-ish unicorns and rainbows and any error or misstep along the way is no big deal and can be overcome with thoughts of ice cream?

Yes.

Seems odd they would cash the check, these petitions do go through an initial screening and in your case a bare I-129F would call for an immediate rejection and return to you. Does not seem likely USCIS would miss something so blatantly missing. IMO as @Crazy Cat suggested you are playing! You submitted your petition late last year, but now all of a sudden you just discovered you left out the most important parts of the petition? With every form that you get from USCIS there is an instruction form to accompany it, if you download it, hard to believe you would not read at least that. I don't buy it, but its not my money good luck to you!

Why did it take you almost a year to realize you didn't send any of these documents?
