Beneficiary Employment History

[LOve17 87]

Hello,

 

My fiance forgot to include one of my more recent work histories on the I-129F. It was more of a casual freelance transcription job on Rev.com, so he wasn't thinking of it as a full time employment type job. I also forgot to tell him to add one of my old jobs from 4 1/2 years ago that I had for a couple weeks. I thought it went beyond the 5 year time frame, but I miscalculated it by year (I was thinking in years and not month specific).

 

SO my question is, how should we go about making this update to the I-129F AFTER we already sent in our package? I tried my best to make everything in the package so perfect, and I can't believe we messed up on such simple pieces of information. My stress levels are just through the roof today.

 

Thanks!

Hi, are you the beneficiary? If so, you'll have a chance to update them when you fill in the ds160 after USCIS approval. However, if you do have an urge to fix it now, you can send in a supplement to the address in your NOA1. Include a cover letter along with it explaining what you accidentally omitted from the i-129f. It's not a guarantee that a supplement will make its way to your petition, but from experience, I submitted one and it did make its way to my petition.

Also, if you're sending in a supplement make sure your cover letter also includes your receipt number (WACXXXXXXXXXX), NOA1 date, petitioner name and date of birth, beneficiary name and date of birth, contents of supplement, signed and dated by petitioner.

Hey,

 

Yes. I am the beneficiary. Thank you for all the information. Super helpful! 😊

 

Did you get any sort of notification from USCIS when the supplement made its way to your petition?

No problem. I didn't get a response from USCIS for my supplement I sent in, but I also submitted an online form through the new website (typographic error form - sent all details about my 2 omitted fields) and they did respond to that. I don't even think the typographic error form was the correct one to use, but it definitely got it into their system. Good thing you asked, I totally forgot that I submitted that form. If you're going to go the supplement route, your fiance could try calling the USCIS a month after they send off the supplement to see if USCIS received it and that it made its way to your petition. The reason I say a month is because that's a decent amount of time for it to make its way to your petition.

Awesome! Thank you again for your help. I appreciate it 😊

I think we'll definitely be doing the typographical error option. Thank you for your help.

Update: I used the typographical error method and got a response within 2 days to fax in the corrections. Thank you everyone!

Once the information was sent did you get an update about whether it was received through fax?

I just got an email which gave me directions of what to do, after I faxed it over, about 2 hours later I got an email saying there was action taken on my i129f and to check online for the update.  Looked online and it said birth date has been changed.

 

Did you get an email from the person that was assigned to your case, which came with instructions,?

I initially got an email with information regarding the fax number, what to include in the fax, and the attn to number. Once I sent all that information in through fax last week, I did not receive anything else.

Did you get a failed fax or did it go through ok,   did you check status on the USCIS site, sometimes the e-mail system is iffy.

Fax went through ok! But no other notification other than that. Maybe we'll try calling next week. Thank you for your help 🙂
