Possible Solutions

1) Contact the Helpline and ask them what to do
2) Wait until u are assigned a UCI Unique Client Identification Number and follow up
3) Wait until they ask you for the additional information

I dont think there is much you can do at this point to solve the problem once an immigration officer takes a look at the package they will advise you of items you may have to resend.

Thanks for quick reply, are there any chances they will return my application? My husband is getting mad at me for this mistake :(

Yes, there is the possibility of the app being returned because it is incomplete. No one can say for sure what will happen; you just need to wait and see.

I had mine returned but for different reasons. It is not the end of the world!! They are much more understanding with American applicants so that is good. Wait for your uci number. I think you will be fine.

I forgot to include country specific checklist and 6 passport sized photos with my application.

Nothing was said and they forwarded my application to Singapore.

Maybe I just got lucky or Singapore VO will request it later on.

I think the checklist is just a...checklist. It is for you to keep track of the document you sent. It is totally optional to send with your package.

The passport photos are required but not utmost mandatory. The CIC can request you to resend anytime if they find the current ones are not adequate. My wife's photos did not meet their requirement at the time they received the application. They took a note of this (in GCMS notes) and requested a new set of photos when sending out the PPR to my wife.

So I think you should be ok in this situation.

that form isn't valid anymore and it's rather annoying they haven't removed it from the package. There is no choice in interview location anymore. NYC does not do any interviews or process any applications for spousal sponsorship. if an interview is required for a us applicant, it will be in LA. your application isn't going to be sent back becuase that form wasn't submitted. it's not a required form.

My guess is that it won't matter. I asked my wife to get those six photos, and I sent the specifications to her in Brazil before our wedding. When I arrived in Brazil for the wedding, she showed me the photos and they obviously did not meet the specifications. Her head was way too small and her eyes were in the middle of the photo. And I think the photo size was wrong, too. I sighed and told her, well, they're probably going to ask for them to be re-sent. She said, "Oh no they won't." So we had a little bet.

Well, she won the bet. Last week we got DM without ever hearing any whining about the photos. They asked for 2 additional photos with new specifications, but that's for the visa and the PR card, I guess. I don't even really know what the original six photos are for.

I have another theory. I think they are asking for two new photos from everyone, because they changed the photo specifications but haven't updated all the country-specific instructions. (It's just a theory.)
