Didn't make copy of I-129F before sending it out

[cortez72483 1]

so i didn't make a copy of the i-129f prior to sending it out. however, i do have copies of the majority of the documents i did send out. am i screwed? have i just wasted 5 months of my life waiting for this?

Hey I didn't either and i never had a problem. My fiancee is picking up her visa tomorrow. It's advisable to do it and its a really good idea but I didn't know i was supposed to because i didn't find this site until after i sent it. You will probably be fine, it's just a precaution.

Me too. I wasn't able to do this. I found out about VJ after I sent my documents. Is that okay?

[Haarp425 26]

No you did not waste 5 months of your life. You are not screwed. You are fine.

Once the I-129F has been approved I-797 Notice of Action, you need to make copy of it and don't loose that document.

I didn't get copies of anything, except for the original NOA1 and just now, our NOA2. I will be printing these off, as well as TONS of other supporting documentation/evidence. I'm hoping that I'm not screwed either for not making copies

thanks for all the inputs.

wow! so many goof ups (including myself), here! i'll throw out a little prayer for all of us:

to the heavenly power above... we, your imperfect children, gather together on visa journey today to ask you a great favor. having found our soulmates overseas, we find ourselves having to deal with this massive mountain called the "i-129f petition for alien fiance(e)". with great determination to be with our partners, we gladly take on this challenge and ask that you help us along this long and tiresome journey. we know that we may not be the most deserving of people but hopefully with your divine power to bring our loved ones to us, we can learn to be. amen.

Hello VJ members!

I made copies of everything except the I-129F Form... My fiancee's case has been sent to the Embassy last week, Hopefully she'll get packet 3 soon.

I read somewhere on the web that I have to send my fiance a copy of my entire -129f packet... Can I just send her everything but the i-129F form which I didn't make a copy of???

Thanks in advance

The reason for sending a copy of the I-129F petition package to the beneficiary is so that the beneficiary can be familiar with exactly was was included, claimed, stated, etc., and be able to discuss such things in the consular interview. If this familiarity can be achieved through other means, then that's just as effective.
