We might have left out an important question in I-129F (K-1) and now freaking out
OK, I am having a little freak-out moment right now and I would really, really appreciate your help.
We filed I-129F in mid-December and already received our NOA-1. The money was withdrawn as well.
When we were filling out the I-129F, we first filled out the PDF electronically. Then my fiancé printed it out and manually filled out the empty fields with "N/A"s etc. before sending it to USCIS. Sadly, he didn't scan the final form.
Today I was checking the PDF version of the form and I noticed that the 53rd question was unchecked, which reads as "Have you and your fiancé(e) met in person during the two years immediately before filing this petition?" I know it's one of the two requirements for I-129F approval so I really, really hope my fiancé checked this box with a pen after printing out the form. He said he had gone through the form twice but of course, he can't clearly remember.
We did write in Number 54, however, that we went to school together in the US between Aug 2018 and Apr 2020 until I went back to Turkey, and that we met in person in November 2021 in my country and got engaged. We also mentioned in our letter of circumstances of meeting that we met in person in November 2021, provided his boarding passes, attached photos, and even added the ring receipt from November 18, 2021. Other than that, we provided ample evidence from 2018-2020 with flight tickets and hotel reservations of our trips in the US and in Turkey, lots of photos together with our families and friends. I even added a photo of us and our friends with a cake that had the date "March 3rd, 2020" (the day I converted to his religion).
In this case, what could happen? I hope it'll only be an RFE and not a rejection...
Thanks a lot in advance.

don’t worry. I believe your fiancé must have checked out right boxes. At the most you’ll get RFE.
Rejection happens if you have not signed the form or did not include right amount of fee.

if they took the money, they accepted the case and it’s fine. If there is a problem ur status will say something like ‘case rejected because it was improperly filed’ and they reject the funds. You’ll get an rfe if they need anything but u should be ok.

did they end up asking for an RFE?
