What to do when made an error in 129F form for k1visa?

[GraceHollings 0]

We started our journey for the k1visa last october 2022. Then keep getting notified that there was an error found on our application. We received a RFE from USCIS for evidence support for an I-130 when we filed for K1visa. and then yesterday my boyfriend received an email again saying that he made a mistake on marking (x) on the K3visa instead of k1 . our letters and other documents states that we are really filing for K1 and made calls to clear such simple mistake .. the recent letter gives us like 15days to make an appeal or get denied .. 

I hope i could hear from someone who went through the same problem and could suggest better way to solve this. Another yr of this means 6th yr of our long distance relationship. 

Should we just start over again with the application?

It appears that, in the eyes of USCIS, you have started the K-3 process, not the K-1 process.  The other letters and documents are supporting evidence, but the I-129F is the core petition.  Thus, in their eyes, unless you can provide a marriage certificate dated prior to submission of the I-129f, along with an I-130, your K-3 case will be denied.  This was a costly mistake, not a simple mistake.  Unintentionally, you filed a K-3 petition.  You can try to respond to the RFE with a corrected I-129F, but I'm not certain USCIS will be willing to convert this K-3 petition to a K-1 petition.  I tend to agree with @Mike E.

I just moved your thread to the sub-forum where it fits better.
