PLEASE HELP

I haven't yet been able to figure out the logic that drives USCIS to sometimes return a petition package and other times send an RFE. The Adjudicators Field Manual strongly coerces them to issue an RFE rather than reject a petition if a question of eligibility can be answered with further evidence or documentation. They're really not supposed to reject a petition package unless there is an obvious ineligibility, and additional documentation or evidence wouldn't change that. Even so, they still sometimes return petition packages for lack of a single document, and other times accept a petition that is obviously missing multiple required documents. Maybe we can chalk that up to the fact that there are humans processing these petitions.

There is at least one VJ member who had sent only an I-129F, and subsequently sent the rest of the required documents without first receiving an RFE, and their I-129F was approved, which would strongly suggest their additional documents were joined up with the original petition. While that member may recommend you go ahead and send your additional documents, there are a lot of other VJ members who have seen the additional documents they sent apparently vanish, and they got an RFE anyway.

You can try to send the additional documents, if you wish. Just be prepared for the possibility (probability??) that your documents will never join up with your petition, and you may end up getting an RFE anyway. If you do decide to go ahead and send your documents then be sure to include a copy of the NOA1 receipt notice for the petition.

You could also just wait for the RFE. If you send your documents with the RFE notice then you know that your documents will be joined up with your petition. If you respond to an RFE quickly it usually won't add more than a couple of weeks to your processing time.

Thank you. I think I will wait for RFE. I sent today express mail to Vermont asking them to withdraw I-129F and transfer my medicals and etc to I-130
