Help!! Sent Photocopies Instead of Original Forms I-129f...

[Emily & Joy 0]

Hey everyone I need some help. I sent in our I-129f petition in on Tues 9/2. I just realized that instead of sending the original forms including I-129f, G-325s, and statements of intent with our signatures, I made and sent photocopies of all of them and have the originals here with me. So my question is should I just wait to get an RFE??? Or is it possible that our petition could be denied right away because of this?!?!?! GAH, I'm just freaking out a little bit. Stupid me. I would really appreciate any opinions or advice that anyone may have. Thanks

It won't be denied. It could possibly be rejected and just mailed back to you. If they do not reject it, then wait until you receive an RFE.

So waiting would be better than going ahead and sending those forms in?

If they do not outright reject it, then you could send them in with a statement of explanation once you receive your NOA1 receipt notice. You can include a copy of the NOA1 and mail it directly to the service center that is processing your case. It may or may not be matched up with your case file, but you could try. However, you would be sending in the originals with wet signatures, so if they are not matched up and get an RFE, then you would need to redo all those forms/signatures.
