OOPS!!!!!

[Dave-n-Oksana 49]

Okay, I pulled a bone head maneuver.

I just got confirmation that our I-129f packet was received, so I decided to look at my papers again, and realized that in the place where I was supposed to put my middle name, I only placed my initial.

Am I hosed or because my SSN and Birth Certificate are enclosed am I panicking for nothing?

BTW I am the USC.

Honestly I think it depends on the adjudicator .... you could possibly get a RFE ... there really isn't anything you can do now but wait to see ... I actually made a error on my G-325A ... small mistake like yours as well ... in the box where you check what kind of visa being applied for I put I-129 on mine and I-129F on my fiancee... will all depend on the adjudicator I think

[Hell0W0rld 10]

because they have to run background checks, it may or may not be held up in that process..

[YuAndDan 153]

Probably wont be an issue.

Aren't both of these incorrect? You may have submitted form I-129F but it was for a K1 Visa.

If the question is "What visa are you applying for" neither "I-129" nor "I-129F" are valid answers. There is no visa called the I-129F visa. I-129F is a form. K-1 is a visa. Right?

Correct the I-129F is just a petition for a K-Visa. So you are applying for a K-Visa NOT an I-129F.

However form G-325A does not ask what visa is being applied for it asks what the G-325A is "being used in connection with" which in this case I-129F.

I've already sent off my I-129F, I just forgot how the question was phrased and took the OP's word that it asked what visa was being applied for.

considering these people just started the process, let's give them a break, and not be so technical. the OP asked a question we should reply with answers, not technicality that is off topic.

What do you want? I didn't memorize the G-325A and consequentially didn't realize that the OP was incorrect on this minor point. If it asks what form the G-325A is connected to then yeah, saying I-129F would be correct. Six one way, half a dozen the other.

Dave...

My guess is that you'll be OK. I say this because I sent my I-129F to USCIS without a single box being checked with an "X". I filled out my I-129F online and printed it out. It didn't print out a single "X" in any of the boxes. I don't know why. So much for double checking things!

I never received an RFE. As a matter of fact, it was never an issue until the very end of my fiancée's interview at the American Embassy in Manila. At that point, the Consul Officer required my fiancée to submit another original page 3 of my I-129F before she received her K-1 Fiancée Visa...only this next time with an "X" in the box asking whether or not I had ever been convicted of any felonies (nope, no crimes). Apparently, the Consul Officer didn't care about all of the other unchecked boxes. I guess the CO (correctly) assumed that I was male.

My fiancée had a great interview up until that point. She wasn't too happy about having to make another trip to the Embassy to submit one single piece of paper, but she did enjoy another three days of vacation in Manila. As for me, I was a bit embarrassed by my oversight. On top of that, it cost me a forty dollar bill to FedEx express that single piece of paper so that it would be in my fiancée's hand in three days. She received her visa the next week.

I think you'll be OK. If not, it's an easy fix. Hang in there!

I like how he also assumed (correctly) that you are not a Nazi war criminal or whatever other stupid questions were skipped.

Hi Mike B....

I thought it was strange also. I just now looked at my I-129F again. Here are some of the questions that were left unanswered:

> male or female

> My marital status

> How my citizenship was acquired

> Have I ever filed for another fiancée visa

> My fiancée's marital status

> Has my fiancée ever been to the U.S.

> Is my fiancée related to me

> Have my fiancée and I met within the last two years

> Did my fiancée and I meet through a marriage broker

> Have I ever been convicted of the following crimes...

> Mitigating circumstances regarding crimes committed

I swear to you that this petition made it all the way to the U.S. Embassy in Manila, and all the way through my fiancée's interview, up until the final minute, when they asked her to simply provide another page three (with an answer to the question about any crimes committed).

Dave...I wouldn't worry too much about your middle name vs. your middle initial. But, just to be on the safe side, you might want to send your fiancée a corrected copy of that page...just in case. You never know what the CO is going to want!

Dave:

I think if the adjusicator does a little checking he will find your middle name listed elsewhere in that package and be able to make the connection to his satisfaction. An RFe is not so much because you made a clerical error, but because the adjudicator simply cannot justify making a conclusion.

If it says "David F. Bonehead" on the petition and "David Frank Bonehead" on the birth certificate, G-325a, SSN maybe a divorce certificate, etc., I think the adjudicator can make a decision for himself that the middle name is "Frank".

I think you are OK.

Good luck
