Ok. Yeah, I actually thought I researched this extensively before applying, but I should have consulted the forum to know that you have to send everything as a packet.

It's actually pretty confusing if you don't search elsewhere. I looked at this:

• You, the U.S. citizen sponsor, must file Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), with the USCIS office that serves the area where you live. See Direct Filing Addresses for Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) for information on where to file the petition. Further information is available on the USCIS website under Fiancé(e) Visas. Note: Form I-129F cannot be filed at a U.S. Embassy, Consulate, or USCIS office abroad.
• After USCIS approves the petition, it is sent to the National Visa Center (NVC). The NVC will give you a case number and send your petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where your fiancé(e) lives.

Based on what this says, I thought I would have to just fill out the form, send it in, and wait to send everything else.

Ok, so based on what everyone is saying, is there a difference between an application being invalid and one being outright denied? Once I get the forms sent back, do I just have to assemble my package and resubmit? Or is there an extra process I need to go through because I messed up the first time?

Hi,

I made a mistake and only sent the i-129F form to the Texas Center. This means that I did not send a check or any additional forms/photos.

I called the center, and they said that I should wait to get my receipt number before sending additional documents. However, I'm worried because I didn't even submit a check. Will they deny my application instead of sending me a RFE? If my application gets denied, is there an additional form I need to complete (a waiver or something) before sending my complete packet? Are my chances of getting approved diminished because of this?

Thank you!
