Hi,

 

Few days ago we send our I129 form , and i put our picture evidence very simple binder. For some reason i didin't notice the guidance part to not use binder.

So what's gonna happen our application? Im extremely worried that we need to start everything all over again, and it will delay our application a lot. Anyone has any advice on this? Thank you in advantage!

You'll have to wait and see how USCIS handles it.  They could reject the package, or they could just return your binder.

USCIS  gives directions

don't  make it hard  for officers to disassemble  to scan your documents to the computer system

 

https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/tips-for-filing-forms-by-mail#:~:text=All forms and supporting documents,will be returned to yo

 

• Please do not submit evidence using digital media, photo albums, scrapbooks, or binders, which cannot be processed and will be returned to you.

I know that i didin't read too carefully the guidance. Im just thinking how long it will take them to send it back? How long the delay will be?

Impossible to say.  Depends on how the USCIS agent who picks up your case is feeling.  Some might nope out and return it, and for just cause, because disassembling over-packaged petitions weighs down processing times for everyone else.  Others might work with it anyway, since they are feeling nice.

 

Good luck, be more mindful next time.

No one can say and there is zero point in wondering. It's water under the bridge. You'll have to wait.

Binder part will be fine. Don't sweat it. They will not refuse it over that.

I used a binder for every application I-485 , I-751 and N-400 and had no issues.

We just received our receipt number, NOA1. What are the next step?

Are we able to check our case with that receipt number?

Congratulations! You can check your case status on the USCIS website using your receipt number here: https://egov.uscis.gov/

 

Otherwise, nothing to do but wait for NOA2.

There are some 3rd party app that allow you to check status, CaseTracker being the best probably. Note this is not an official USCIS app. It makes it simpler though as you don't have to deal with CAPTCHA.
