Spousal Visa ???

You asked "My question is this... with the I-129F, do I need to include another set of photos and all of the supporting documentation I already sent to Vermont?" YES. Vermont is not going to send it to the National Benefits Center in Missouri for you. For her son, you just have to list him on her I-129F, you don't need a separate I-129F for him.

Hey we have "another" crazy in the house! = ) We got married in mid November and I sent all the papers to Vermont in mid December. I was hoping my wife would get her visa in April but, it is the little mistakes that may cost me an extra month or two. I work as a contractor in Iraq so, mail takes 2 weeks to the US and 2 weeks back so each mistake adds an immediate month to my timeline.

I have made 2 mistakes so far. I sent in 3 documents which were in Spanish (wife's birt cert, her son's birth cert & our wedding cert). I got them translated no and will be sending them in once I hear back from the USCIS Service Center in Vermont.

I also sent everything but the kitchen sink to Vermont (I-130, I-485's, photos, you name it.) I later discovered that most of that stuff needs to go to Missouri via Chicago.

I called USCIS yesterday and they will NOT fwd the extra crap I sent to Missouri... they will most likely reject my entire package and mail me back everything. I will be extra careful and pay attention to detail THIS time!

For timelines, check out www.visajourney.com There you can see processing times from USCIS... good luck to you!

What are you doing? The I-485 is an application to adjust status from a non-immigrant status to a permanent resident status. It is used by applicants who reside IN the United States. Is your wife in the US?

UC... I know! = ( I know! I put the horse before the cart! Actually, I think I meant to say the I-864 maybe? I'm not certain w/o having my copies in front of me. I think I meant to say the document Affidafit of Support. Either way, I got every form I could find and sent them to Vermont... a big mistake that I realized a few weeks later.

You corrected me and said I wasn't suppossed to send that crap to Vermont and my error is probably going to cost me a few months. I realize now that I should have only sent the I-130 to Vermont and upon receipt of my NOA... I send that form and the I-129F to Missouri via Chicago - along with all the other stuff I sent to Vermont.

I got caught up on the procedures for getting MARRIED in Colombia and I didn't really do my "due diligence" on the visa until I mailed a GIGANTIC packet to Vermont. I have since spent much time on VisaJourney.com and realized the error of my ways!

I had the attorney (Colombian) that presided over my wedding do our visa paperwork and she doesn't speak english. The instructions she gave me were ALL wrong... but, I take the blame because I had "blind faith" in her instructions and didn't double check on MY end.

I chalk it up as a valuable lesson learned!

I don't think it's going to cost you any time. I think they will just ignore all the stuff you sent that they don't need. I'm sure it's not the first time it's happened!

More Time... Yup, my suspicions were correct! They sent my ENTIRE package back... in all, it was probably best. I sent Vermont a bunch of stuff they don't want or need. I went back to www.visajourney.com and tripple checked everything this time. Today, I sent Vermont ONLY the stuff needed for the I-130. I mailed the package on Friday the 13th... I'm glad I am not supersttious! Hahahahaha I also have my I-129F all ready to go... I hope my NOA gets here soon! I wanna start the 3 month countdown for the K3! = )
