Small mistake on I-129f package, what to do?

[xcowwyx 3]

 

Hi everyone. 

So on our official papers and required documents for the I-129f there’s no mistakes but we added declaration letters from us both where 2 dates are different from each other. 

I wrote March 26th, 2021. He wrote May 26th, 2021. 
And I wrote we went to the usa on November 10th and he did on November 15th. 
 

We didn’t notice this small mistake until later on but we have strong proof of bona fide relationship. I also have proof that we actually met on March 26th with train ticket+Airbnb booking. And that we left to the usa on November 15th with flight tickets from both of us and on my I-94 it has the entry date nov16. 
I’m just very scared it will be denied cuz of this and I don’t want to have wasted over a year if it ends up getting denied. But I also don’t want to wake up a sleeping dog and cause more hassle for us in case they don’t believe it was a typo even with the evidence. I hear people saying you shouldn’t sent in more unless they ask. 

 

What should I do?

 

Ps. We have called USCIS before and the lady said this wouldn’t be a problem but we could sent up paperwork to the address about the mistake if we really wanted to. But I’m worried this could push back our petition and we are already quite a bit in the process.

I just don’t want to get denied cuz of this, I’m ready to receive a RFE for this since I have enough evidence to back things up but I’d rather avoid that. 
 

Should I inter file the documents rn and correct my mistake?

I would let it be.  Correct the travel dates at the interview. Bring updated letters of intent to interview.

We have our intent to marry and declaration letter separately. 
 

do you think this would cause us to get an RFE or be denied?

If it causes an RFE, supply the corrections.

Otherwise, volunteer the information at the visa interview.

So currently not do anything about this? Sent nothing rn?

cuz it won’t cause a denial right? Just an RFE at most? (If everything else is correct ofc)!

RFE st most.

RFE st most. 

We have our intent to marry letter saying that we are legally allowed and going to marry writhing 90 days of arrival once issued the k-1 visa and then we have a letter stating how we met and a few times we met, when we got engaged and what we love most about each other (declaration letter).

 

hopefully an RFE at most, so just do nothing for now? 
cuz if I can avoid an RFE by sending in documentation rn I’d love to do that, bc we are trying to get married/move in together end 2023/beginning 2024. And we just hit 136 days of being in the i-129f process.

This is my answer; not changing it.

Okay thank you, the whole process is just nerve wrecking and I’m nervous I didn’t do it well even though I’ve filled the I-129f in properly, added all the mandatory documents and the additional declaration letters. 
 

do you think it’s okay that we only added in 2 pictures of us together? We have added multiple plane tickets, USMC ball tickets, hotel intenary’s and then the 2 photos.

Apparently it should be enough for the pictures yes, I also added only 2 pictures of us, and other evidence like boarding passes, copy of passport stamps etc. Some embassies are more difficult than others though and people tend to front load their petition.

Mhm, I plan to bring more pictures to the interview. 
 

do you think I should sent in documentation about the dates rn or just wait until an RFE or the interview?

Yes bring all possible proof to the interview of pictures, travel etc.

We are already 6 months into the process now, and sending extra paperwork worked for us.

My fiancé initially inserted the wrong divorce papers. I got stressed out, and we sent in the right one at the end of July with a cover letter explaining this, and our case number.

I was sure we would get an RFE for this.

He called them a few weeks ago and the correct divorce paper was successfully added to our file.

I would say, that if you are really stressed out, you can send them a letter with corrections (but I would think it is not really necessary, the mistakes are not huge, and making mistakes is human)

Do you think it would cause our case to get delayed and pushed back? Or does the process time still stay the same? 
 

im anxious about it but I rather avoid an RFE and just sent it now since processing time is still so long anyway. 
 

how did you guys sent in the additional paperwork?

I honestly don't think it delays your case, it does not do anything, you remain in line until it gets processed.

I just refused to wait to get an RFE in an already insanely long process.

We just sent the documents to the address on the NOA1 in California.

We made a cover letter explaining that he inserted the wrong divorce papers, which also changed the official date of the divorce. Make sure to make a copy of your NOA1 and clearly mention your case number in the letter.

On the envelope, we mentioned our case number again (very clearly), and we also added in big letter "additional evidence/information", and my fiancé's name and address.

 

It worked for us, and I'm grateful for that, because I was really stressed out.

So it doesn’t make processing times any longer? They just add the paperwork to your package and you don’t start the waiting time all over again? 
 

that’s what I’m worried for too, I don’t want to get an RFE since it’s already such a long processing time and we are planning to move end 2023, beginning 2024 latest. 
 

my fiancé, like the other people here say I should just let it be and not wake up a sleeping dog. I don’t think it would do any harm, I’m just worried about it pushing our case back
