Supplement to fix mistake? (Passport Photo)

[Pangoleen 66]

Hello everyone,

 

I was hoping to get some input into how I should go about structuring a supplement to fix something that would most likely result in an RFE.

 

When I went to visit my fiancé this most recent time, I took the copy of our I-129f package with me and noticed that one of the passport photos he'd printed out turned out incredibly pixelated and blurry (I sent him a high res digital print version just before filing last year but the shop had trouble with it apparently; his turned out fine).

 

If possible I want him to print and send out a new one to replace the one we originally submitted. However I'm not sure how to title and frame the supplement, where to leave my case number to make sure it gets assigned to my case, etc.

 

Sorry if this is redundant, I'm having some trouble with the search function so I'm not sure if there's already a thread that goes into this exact issue.

 

Any help is appreciated!

The petitioner (the person who filed I-129F) can send a letter to the service center, noting the issue. The letter should include:

 

* case number

* name of beneficiary 

* name of petitioner 

 

Included with the  letter should be the new photo and a copy of the I-129F receipt aka NOA1

Thank you for this, I had no idea this was possible! Thank you so much.

Thank you from us as well! Do you think it would be fine to just mark the envelope with 'Supplement' or 'Correction' (like you'd do with 'Original Submission' or 'Response to Request for Further Evidence')?

I used to believe  this was pointless and instead  thought it was better to wait for an RFE. However a  q/a session from a USCIS ISO on Reddit this year changed my mind. See 

For an error such as that in your case, it cannot hurt to get ahead of this issue.  Well worth the $10 in flat rate priority mail postage

I think that is fine. I would not put the case number or A number on the outside of the envelope though.

I'd give you praises, but you're already a super star  Now I know why

 

Seriously, if this is a valid path to pre-avoid a RFE, isn't a sticky warranted?
