Hello everybody,

I really do not understand why everyone sends foreign fiance's birth certificate -it doesn't say it is required?

Why would we get an RFE for sth that's not required?Or may be I am wrong?

We are getting ready to submit our petition and we really do not know whether we have to include it...

Thaks for the help in advance:)

Ivelina,

No, it is not required , but some folk here ( including myself ) send them in anyway. Should you choose to do so, make sure you have both the beneficiarys original COPY accompanied with proper translated COPY.

Why do they issue RFE's if it is not a requirement? Cos they can.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Well SEND IT IN!!!!!

We just receibed our RFE yesterday and they asked for it.

You might get a RFE if you don't send it in, or not. But why risk it???

If we would've known that they want it, we would've sent it...believe me. Anything to avoid a delay!!!

Diana

PS stop wondering why USCIS is doing this and doing that! It will drive you crazy and you will NEVER figure it out anyways!

Thanks Diana,

I was just thinkin there must be something - may be they think you are not the person u say u are...or they got a hit in some of the datebases where they check your background ...

Thought there should be some logic in all this...

I was hoping we could submit our petition on Monday but now we have to wait for my birth certificate to get translated and legalized....such a long procedure...

I am sorry for your RFE but now you can count on approval soon:))))

i know it sounds stupid but try to look at it from the good side.And yes I have an idea how hrd this is cause we haven't filed yet and I am already getting crazy...

thanks to u guys it is a ltl better...

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY!!!!

PS we can do it if we love each other:)

MOST of the people get no RFE for that. Because it actually isn't recuiered!!!

So that is what pisses me off sooo much.

We get a RFE for something we sent already in (proof of having met) AND for something that isn't requiered!!

How fair is that?!?!

Diana

Someone told me, that the person might have dropped the proof and is to lazy to bend down, to pick it up, so they send the RFE!

I kinda believe that!!!!

It isn't , Diana.

Nothing about this process is fair. I would like to know if we can RFE THEM when THEY make a mistake with our petitions. I know I would love to send them a few and demand they fix the problem within 30 days or they are out of a job . State something to the effect, " Reply within 30 days or else case closed, lights out, adios, and goodbye " .

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

That would be nice!!!

At least I would marry a John then and not a Yohn :(

I liked John better, but if USCIS thinks, my fiance should be called Yohn!!

Oh well...
