RFE Confusion

[peacemanzach 1]

Greetings fellow humans!

I recently applied for an i129f Fiancee Visa, and submitted my 99 page packet to USCIS on 9/23 and it was received on 9/29/11. It was the routed to the California Service Center, where the decision has been pending for the last 4 months. Then, after my daily status check on the USCIS website, I find that the case is pending via an RFE. Disappointed, frustrated, saddened, I called and they told me I had to wait for the letter. I waited and received it today, 2/17/12. They have requested that I submit the fiancee letter of intent. I know for a fact I did this. I even took a video of me turning the page in my packet and it being there. The letters were signed and handwritten and spelt out specifically our intentions once my fiancee became state side and we would get married. I submitted one for me, and her, and text looked something along these lines......To Whom It May Concern,

To Whom It May Concern,

I write this letter to you as a statement of my intentions to marry her name here of Hua Hin, Thailand. here name and I have continued a relationship that started in the United States in December of 2009. Attached you will find additional documentation and photographs as proof of our relationship. Upon her name's admission into the United States, we will be married within 90 days at the Kanabec County Courthouse in Mora, Minnesota. We plan to also have 12 hours of marriage counseling prior to obtaining the license. Neither her name nor myself have ever been married before. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

my name

Has this ever happened to anyone? Thank you for your time and possible feedback.

Sincerely,

Zach

Just write "I hereby swear that I am legally free to marry and will marry ______ within 90 of her arrival on a K1 visa". Something like that is a sworn statement of being legally free to marry and more than intentions. Sign and date in blue, green, purple(etc.) ink. Just something that doesn't look photocopied from first glance at it.

They might have lost it too, it happens.

Did you also send her letter of intent? Maybe they are asking for one from her?

Did you make a copy of your entire package?

sadly, I did not make a copy of the entire package.....I made a video of me putting the 99 page package together...yes I included both letters, Thanks for the help everyone..

Your letters of intent are probably in that stack, they just don't like have 99 pages of stuff to dig through (sometimes more is not better) so they are asking for new letters. No matter - reality is they are the GODS give them what they ask for, even if it is a repeat or no approval.

Keep the letter sweet and simple like the example in the GUIDE. Item 5 on the checklist: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide

Great news everyone! After resubmitting the Letter of Intents, plane ticket receipts, old pictures, as well as new pictures, I received the NOA1 approval!

Hoping that was an NOA2 approval! Congratulations!
