Form I-129F rejection — frequently asked questions
Will USCIS reject my I-129F for a missing signature?
Yes — an unsigned form, or one signed with a stamped or typewritten name, is rejected outright under 8 CFR 103.2(a)(7)(ii)(A). I-129F has 4 signature blocks to verify before you file.
Will USCIS reject my I-129F if I use an old edition?
Yes. USCIS accepts only the current edition of I-129F — dated 01/20/25, printed at the bottom of every page — and rejects superseded editions. Download a fresh copy from uscis.gov right before you file.
Does USCIS refund the filing fee if my I-129F is rejected?
Generally no. USCIS returns the package unprocessed and keeps no place in line, and the $675 paper filing fee is generally non-refundable — you fix the error, pay again, and lose weeks or months. That is why checking before you file matters.
