Hello my fellow members.

In the middle of September I sent in my I-130 with payment and all supporting documents. It was accepted and I received NOA-1.

I have 3 questions for my fellow members here.

1) When I sent in the I-130 it did not have a barcode printed on the bottom of it.

Will this cause a delay and/or an RFE??

2) On part C, question 17 of the same form where it asks:

"List husband/wife and all children of your relative"

I mistakenly listed my wife here and then the 2 children, where I should have listed myself and the 2 children as her (the beneficiary's) husband and children of my relative.

When I realized this I sent in an update to change this information on that question.

Will this cause a delay or an RFE also?

Did I do the right thing by sending in an update to the form, or should I have just sent in a nw I-30 an asked to have this one replace the previous due to an error?

3) Is it ok to send in more evidence and reference the receipt number as I will have another trip to se my wife soon,

and want to demonstrate to them we are continuous and on going.

Thanks folks.......

Anything you attempt to send to USCIS after filing the petition will very likely not get matched up with your file. I think you will receive an RFE for the error on part C, question 17.

If you do receive an RFE, you have the option of including extra evidence in addition to the RFE response.

If you do not receive an RFE and your file goes on to the NVC, you can throw in extra relationship evidence with the DS-230 package. However, be aware that by including more items than what the NVC asks for will slow down processing of your file there. It will be up to you to decide when the time comes.

One last thing, what country is your spouse from? :time:

The reason I ask is frontloading is essential for some countries while for others, not so much.
