I129F returned for review

[Tod & Jie 0]

I received my approved NOA 2 on February 28. My application was returned to USCIS for further review from the State Department on March 25th. I called NVC to inquire about the reason and was told to call USCIS. USCIS states they can not tell me but to wait 120 days for a response. They also stated my NOA 2 would expire before a response was received. I called my congressman and he was able to obtain the reason for the return, Part C on the I129F was incomplete. I corrected the error and sent it back to VSC. I then sent a follow-up email to VSC. They responded that it would be a long time before my case was reviewed and they recommended starting a completely new application. Now I don't know what to do. Should I wait for the review or re-file? Shouldn't USCIS have caught the omission on the initial review and sent me an RFE? I can't believe an error that should have been caught by USCIS will result in having to start the process all over again. Does anyone have experience with this type of thing?

An omission in part C could cause some question on the part of USCIS and DOS. If you simply failed to check a box then I would think that it should have come back as an RFE. If you checked No on question 2 and through the background check there was a hit and then you went back and checked yes as part of your correction they may be thinking something else.

What was the error you corrected?

I forgot to check "no". I don't have a record.
