HELP!! Forgot to enter Social Security number I-129F (petitioner)

[Ketsuban 1,034]

I'm not so sure, they cashed my check before I even got NOA1! Government loves their money I don't think they'd let it go so easy.

We had the opposite experience, we got our NOA1 9 days before our status updated to say our cheque bounced for some reason the bank didn't want to let go of the money! Thankfully our petition wasn't rejected, probably because we already had our NOA1, and my husband was given the option of paying by card over the phone. No harm no foul

Hi there, my name is Nawal (petitioner) and i just sent in my I-129F for my fiance yesterday (8/26/2014) and just looking through the extra copies that I have I just realized that I was stupid enough not to notice that my social security number wasn't on the I-129F!!! luckily it is on my G-325 but now i have no idea what to do. I swear i checked my papers over 20 times and i cant believe i didnt notice this horrible mistake. Before anyone judges me I am only human and checking over 123 pages is very overwhelming even though what i missed was dreadful. I still havent received my NOA1 yet, but is there a way if I call them and tell them my mistake and tell them that my SSN is on my G-325 for proof will they fix it for me on the phone? I have heard that mailing them won't do me any good because it may get lost. I am scared there is no way of fixing it and after a long wait have my whole I-129F denied and sent back due to improper filing. I really want to fix it from the very beginning and not get delayed.

Thanks in advance and hoping for a reply soon.

Complete a new form to include you SS#. Mail it certified/return receipt along with a very clear cover letter explaining that you forgot to enter your SS# on the initial filing. It might get to your file before they pack it up and send it back to you if you are lucky. Send it NOW! It can't hurt. It might not work but if you don't send it there is no chance they will simply complete the incomplete for for you.

Good luck and God Bless,

David

Hey I didn't the same thing. I called uscis and they were able to fix it. All I needed was my case number. Maybe two weeks later I recieved a letter in the mail confirming that they added my ssn.

If anything they will just send you an RFE asking for complete info. Just slows thing down by about 2 weeks or so.

What's done (or not done) can't change at this time.

So don't worry too much.

With little bit of luck, they will catch your SSN from the other doc.

Or they could also issue RFE to confirm the SSN,

In the worst possible case, let's say they reject right away.

Then you simply correct the document and submit it again.

Ok...it will costs you another $340 and little bit of time...but this is the worst case.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think when a petition is rejected right away, they don't cash the check. Again, I'm not sure but I think that's what I've read here on the forum. It's a different story when the petition is denied.

I can see that...that makes sense...!

Thank all soo much for your replies I really appreciate it!! I went to the USPS website and fill out an intercept from for the packet and successfully made sure the people in the Lewisville post office located it and return it to me before it reaches immigration. I barely made it but I'm getting it back soon and this time I will make sure to check everything 1 million times!!

it never occurred to me that I could intercept it .. i literally had a light bulb moment and saved my self from the worry of how the uscis will see my petition.

I hope that you're right, but as soon as I get my NOA1 I want to call and explain it to them just for peace of mind. This process is soooo stressful I just still can't believe that I have put myself in this position.

If it is a problem, they will send you a RFE asking you to re-submit a 100% complete form. It could slow down your form processing a few weeks.

That's about it.

One suggestion. Have someone else go over the forms for you. Sometimes we have seen the forms so many times we miss the thing that we are missing. That make sense?
