Today I (RK) received I-797 Reject Notice because I made a date error on check submitted along with I-129F petition. So the rejection was totally my fault but I just want to know proper/recommended procedure for re-submitting to avoid any potential additional errors I might make during resubmission.

The I-129F petitition I had originally assembled and submitted was returned disassembled from the original clips/fasteners I had used and then re-assembled with one large staple through all pages of the packet plus the right hand page of all forms and supporting documents had been stamped.

My specific questions are:

1. Do I/may I resubmit the stamped pages [and with holes in each page because of the staple] or do I have to redo all this?

2. Do I need to re-do cover letter? And if yes, then do I include old cover letter with stamped pages too?

3. What other recommendations/advice do Visa Journey members have which I may not have thought to ask?

Thank you very much for your always welcome assistance…

We had the same misery... wrong amount on the check (430 $ instead of 340 $)...we sended new papers, and we had no problems. You have no casenumber yet so they will treat your petition like a new one. Good luck!

she called them twice and ask them what does this status means even we also did not get the NOA1 hard copy, she asked them also about the address where they are mailing but they are not telling her and saying you should wait until you get the mail or if you do not get it then you should contact the local office that is almost 4 hours drive from her appt.

we will try to call them again on monday and will see what will they say.

usually they are not answering her what she wanted to know and keep saying her you should check your case status on website, so if all we have to check on website it means they are not performing their jobs well, this is not called CSR.

Same here. They didn't answer our questions at the so called "helpline"... Keep your mail in check and wait what is coming there. In our case, they sended the NOA1 again (we got it 3/28, it was dated 3/8) and a letter and this AR-11, which is only for address changes of the alien, so we didn't have to file this. If you call again, maybe request to be transferred to a higher level, but it's not sure they'll so this. Good luck!

P.s. To check the case stutus on the website isn't helpful either, our's just shows the message (that our petition has been processed and filed to the adress on record)and the "inital review" button isn't blue anymore. But even after we called it didn't change, they said it'll change again when our status is going to change (f.e. when we will be approved)

i just checked my case status and i found this there,

what does it means ?

If you move while your case is pending, please call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

We got the same message some weeks ago. In our case it turned out that USCIS made a mistake with the zip code of my fiance. They sended us the NOA1 hardcopy, but it was re-mailed to them because of the wrong zip code. So they sended it again with a letter and a form AR-11, asking to correct our address. It definitivly not an approval, but they don't send back the whole petition, don't worry. I guess in your case it's something you can easily straighten out too

We are march filers too! Good luck to everybody

Hi everyone!

Recently I have posted a thread in relation to the email we got from USCIS saying that the status of our case is document/card production...I'm sure you've seen those. Yesterday we got a hard copy document in mail.

when filing I-129f in November our lawyer put Warsaw,Poland in Q20 ( when they ask about the consulate). Although I'm a Polish citizen I reside and work in Dublin, Ireland. Couple of weeks ago we called, since we wanted to have that changed. We really want the interview to be in Dublin since it will save as a lot of money, not mentioning the hustle!

What came in mail was 2 things.

Simply a note that we made the request and that the consulate will be chosen by the State Department when the CSC approve the petition.

BUT

Along with that came a note that they received a changed of address request and want us to fill out a AR-11. Which doesn't make any sense to me... they ask in that form to fill out present and last address...which would be exactly the same in our case! ?They're also asking for Alien number and port of entry details which do not apply to me. Any one has any insight or thoughts to share?

What is more they're telling us in that note to fill out that form (AR-11) and send it to address in London...why London? Does anyone know?

We're getting frustrated...we're almost on our 5 month mark and were hoping for an NOA2 soon... We were hoping to get married on memorial weekend...

How should we proceed with that? I know you'll probably say to call them...which we will...I'm just hoping to get some insight from anyone with proper knowledge and/or experience.

Hi, like I told you I nearly got the same message. We got this AR-11 too. In our case it turned out that USCIS made a mistake and had a wrong zip-code from my fiance, they tried to mail us the NOA1 but was re-mailed to them, so they tried it again and attached this strange letter and AR-11. The AR-11 only applies for address changes of aliens. My fiance tries to call today to correct the zip code. Maybe check if they have a wrong address of you or if something else is not right in the data?
