Question about RFE

[Sherlock 0]

All through our journey with my wife, I-130, Lifting conditions, and citizenship, we never got an RFE. Now have petitioned her mother and we got one.

They said the copy of my wife's birth certificate was illegible and that we need to send a legible copy or the original. Frankly, the original isn't very legible to begin with, but whatcha gonna do.

2 questions:

1. Has anyone had experience with sending originals? Did you have any problems with them returning them?

2. Are RFEs consolidated? Can we assume that this is the only thing "wrong" with the package, or is there a possiblity they will send another RFE later?

1) Send the original AND a photo-copy with a cover letter specifically asking for the original back.

At the discretion of the officer, original documents may still be required in individual cases. Please be advised that USCIS no longer returns original documents submitted with the exception of Certificates of Naturalization, Forms I-551, Permanent Resident Card, Forms I-94, Arrival/Departure Document, valid passports, or those specifically requested by the officer. Such documents will be returned when they are no longer needed.

2) Yes, I have seen cases where a person gets a second RFE, this is rare.
