Forgot to include I130a form

[masole95 28]

Hello everyone, my spouse is a US Citizen and im overseas, USCIS recieved the petition on Nov 16th 2018 but we just found out he accidentally forgot to include the i130a form. We are concerned we would get a RFE but, our question is.. is it most likely to get a RFE or a denial instead? 

Any helpful answer thanks! 😌

Did you guys get a NOA1 yet?

If you forgot the actual I-30, you're probably going to get denied right away. If you sent it nov 16th you should have at least NOA1 by now. If so, call USCIS, give them your case number and ask if you can send the missing paperwork. If not, just wait for news. No worries tho, you can apply again. There is a chance that they will take your money at this application, so make sure your next application has everything included! <--- Do not apply again before you have any news on your current application!

Ah sorry, gotcha. Didn't see the a at first. I would let your spouse call USCIS, give them your case number and see if you can send I-130a with some kind of letter of explanation. With the new rule they're more strict in when to deny a case (or better said, denying is case is easier for them) and you don't wanna pay the full fee again 😩

Most likely an RFE.  Did you actually "forget" to put the already completed I-130a in your package, or did you find out later, it was needed?  Carefully studying form instructions and following them, is going to be critical to your ultimate success.
