Potential RFE

[Saif Abu-Shakra 0]

Hello, my finace and I have mailed our I-129F packet to the USCIS, we made a very organized and neat package but we forgot to check the ethnicity question where it asks if she is “Hispanic or Latino” or “Not Hispanic or Latino”. 

The packet was recieved by the USCIS yesterday, we still didn’t get a NOA1.

Should we mail them the corrected page of the I-129F and ask for it to be attached or should we wait for an RFE? 

And HOW LONG does it take to receive an RFE after the NOA1? 

And is that question important enough to get an RFE if everything else about her origins is filled in correctly? 

Detailed answers appreciated, thanks.

I would NOT recommend submitting another form. They get thousands every day and it would be difficult to cross reference another piece of paper with something previously received. 

 

NOA1 usually takes 5-7 days to receive. 

 

I don't know if that's significant enough to receive RFE.  You did mark white underneath so that should help.  I'd think if you were, it would be quick because it's a missed box, not something that takes more time to investigate like lack of a bonfide relationship.

Fingers crossed we don't get an RFE, we have our whole plans on hold for me to get there. Even 2 weeks will make a difference.
Thank you for your input, hopefully the information about her parents' origins and the fact she is white is enough to neglect that part.

DO NOT make any hard plans until you have your visa in hand. Many people on here make a huge mistake of thinking something like - if we make plans for 6 months or 8 months from now, it will be OK - but you never know - people end up having long AP or longer than expected background checks and things don't work out and a lot of money is lost. DO NOT make plans until your visa is in your hands or you could severely regret it. There are many many posts on here about people having done that and now they have to cancel them and are concerned because they can't get money back for places, etc. 

 

Do you and your fiance have any "red flags" so to speak? Or have you met several times, same age, same background, same religion, etc. I do not know too much about the Jordanian embassy - my sister-in-law married a man from Jordan but he was already in the US when they met so it was not an issue.

We did not make plans that involve payments, it's more like life plans sorta speaking, uhmm, we've known each other for 7 years when she lived in Jordan but we got engaged in a short amount of time after we got together when she came to visit Jordan, I asked a lawyer about it and she said "people meet and fall in love all the time, don't worry about it".
We included pictures of our engagement and photos of me and her family, and screenshots of Facetime of me and her parents, also comments from our parents on our announcement of our engagement on Facebook and pictures we took together while she was here, she stayed here for a month and a half.

NOA 1 in 7-10 days

RFE for not marking that box probably 99% no RFE. Now if you left other stuff off then they might send you one.

I would not worry and don't sent anything unless they ask for it.

I stumbled upon a page on the USCIS website after creating a profile on it,  it allows me to correct typographic errors.
Can I use the link provided below to correct the "Hispanic or Latino" check box?
Is this tool made for such a thing?
Here is the link https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayTypoForm.do

I've never seen that link off hand before but I clicked on it and it reads: Did you receive a notice, document or card from USCIS and it contains a typographic error? We can assist you in correcting the error.

As you haven't received a notice from USCIS that had a typographical error on it (your name misspelled, birthdate wrong) or something like that, I would not think that this applies to you. However you are welcome to try it if you want - it's completely your call of course. 

(It also asks for a receipt number which I am guessing you don't have since you don't have any notices from them)

I did get my NOA1 2 days ago, I do have a receipt number. 
Yes I thought about that (Did you receive a notice, document or card from USCIS and it contains a typographic error? We can assist you in correcting the error.)  so I don't really know.
I did some research online and found no mentioning of this page, it must be a new added feature or something.
