Help! Missing forms for the K-1 Visa?! (merged)

[25Euros 3]

Meaning that it wasn't rejected though, right?

exactly!

Update: NOA1 Received so now I am wondering if the form actually made its way in the packet.

Would it be accepted if the signature page wasn't in there and denied later?

We are just so paranoid about it possibly being denied after months of waiting as we have read stories like that here on VJ.

Thanks guys!

Yeah...folks checking documents after sending it off and finding issues with it

seems to happen more frequently...evidenced by number of similar postings on VJ.

Let that be a good reminder to all for future processing.

That said, check being cashed is a good sign so hopefully all of it made it just fine.

If not you will find out one way or the other (whether it'll get returned or RFE-ed),

so at this point, I would just wait and see. In the worst case, you will lose some

processing time, which you can recover. So don't sweat over this too much right now.

Well, I received the acceptance so I am not sure if it would be returned now that its been accepted or just denied?

It looks like they would have rejected it straight away and sent it back as opposed to accepting it if the forms werent actually in there.

Correct me, if my assumptions are wrong.

It means "hey, it arrived"--no one has looked at the file to determine if they're going to approve, reject or ask for follow up questions yet. Right now your application is "standing in line" waiting for someone to read it and check for completeness and make a decision (if you're based in DC like your local office suggests, then the service center that is handling your paperwork's line is currently 7 months long). They almost certainly (like 99.9% sure) will give you an RFE (Request for Evidence) asking for you to send the signature page, if you did indeed forget it. RFE is not a rejection but it adds a week or two to the timeframe. I don't think that forgetting to send the signature page turns into a rejection.

I realized that I left a check-box blank. What I did was: (1) print out the page with the missing check-box and re-do that page (2) take a photocopy of my NOA1 (it'll arrive in the mail in a week or two for you) (3) write a letter explaining what happened, give my receipt number and mention the barcode on the NOA1, and ask if it is possible to add this to my file. I mailed it to the service center handling my case. I haven't heard anything and I have NO idea if this will work or not. It just is worth a shot because why not? Could save two weeks later on.

Get used to reading that over and over for the next 7 months, I know it off by heart

Thank you for your response. It's strange because other posts I have read said they forgot a signature and the entire package was sent back with no NOA1 at all and that if it did not include the required documents then you would get an automatic rejection and no NOA1. Then on the other hand, people have said that they have had their applications accepted and then denied months later for missing documents.

I just don't want to be waiting months and then get a denial because of this possible mistake!

Everyone receives a NOA1... it just confirms they have received your packet/payment and will begin processing it. If you forget to sign something, submit something that they want they will send you a RFE letter stating what to resubmit/next steps before you can get approved (noa2) as mentioned.

Yea, I know everyone receives an NOA1 but from reading other posts regarding the signature page, the application is often rejected for missing signatures and mailed back.

If you were going to receive an RFE this wouldn't be sent until they look over the package which would be post getting the NOA1 as this is merely to tell you that they've received everything and it's waiting to be processed. Unfortunately because you're being processed at TSC you will mostly likely have quite a number of months to wait until receiving either the RFE or your NOA2 if you have sent away all the right forms. On the up side, if you do receive an RFE it means they're looking at your case and once you send back all the correct forms you should, in theory, get your NOA2 shortly after.

Hope this is of some help, good luck!

Ah I see. I didn't know that. Seems that they must check for a signature before NOA1. Did any of the rejections/RFEs you read about happen because of a signature page? I would be inclined to think that if they didn't send it back right away, theneed you must have signed it.

Thanks! I guess my main concern was that the application would just be flat out denied and I wouldn't even get and RFE and the chance to send in the signed page or missing fiance letter of intent.
