i am looking at the website for the consulate in mumbai and it says that we have to go to a vfs office and pay a fee and show them our documents before the interview. but we don't have the documents. nvc has them and i dont have copies of all of them. anyone know if we need to show these documents to the vfs? nvc said they would send the documents to the consulate when they setup an interview date. im thinking it might not be mandatory to show those documents to the vfs. becuase i asked the operator and she said we have your documents and we will send them to the consulate when the interview is scheduled. she also said we missed the october schedule. hopefully we can have our interview in november. but im going to stay with my wife in india next week so i will be there until she gets her visa inshaAllah. so i'm not as worried as i would be if i were here in america. at least i'll be with her during that time. thanks

Mr. Simps, you dont pay anything to embassy, you already paid for the IV bill and the AOS fee. That fee your speaking of is for K3 filers and K1 filers, does not pertain to you!!!! Enjoy your time with Mrs. Simps, send her my best.

Jeany,

Ifs it been past 2 weeks since you were informed of the RFE AND your hubby has not received the hardcopy in mail, he MUST keep calling USCIS. This happened to me, they USCIS did not mail out the RFE, there was a computer glitch, USCIS thought it was mailed out but it was NOT. Tell Warren to keep calling till he has it, cause they give you a certain amount of time to answer RFE, and if they dont get your evidence they asked for, by the deadline date, well they will deny your case, then you have to start all over again. And we dont want that, this process is too hard as it is now. Oh Jeany, tell him to also email them , call, email , till they are sick of it.

Hugs,

Beth

Hello everyone,

I posted this on the main page but get no respond. Can someone please help me with this? I've received the following letter from USCIS (see below).

-------

Request for Evidence

On September 1, 2009, we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence or information in this case I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the requested information. This case will be in suspense until we receive the evidence or the opportunity to submit it expires. Once we receive the requested evidence or information and make a decision on the case, you will be notified by mail. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

A request for evidence is made when an application/petition is lacking required documentation/evidence (initial evidence) or the officer needs more documentation/evidence (additional evidence) to determine an applicant's eligibility for the benefit sought. We may send you a request for evidence at any stage of our review. The request will indicate what evidence or information is needed for us to fully evaluate your application or petition. The notice will explain where to send the evidence and will give the deadline for your response. Your application or petition will be held in suspense during that time. If you receive a request for evidence and have questions about what you need to submit, you may call our National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

I got the RFE hardcopy in the mail on September 15, 2009 and mailed out 6pm on the same day. I mailed to the following address as stated in the letter (see below).

USCIS - California Service Center

P.O. Box 10590

Laguna Niguel, CA 92607-0590

The RFE is set to expired September 27, 2009. The date is now is September 21, 2009. This mean I have only 6 days left. I called 800-375-5283 for "RFE Received Confirmation" but the operator say I have to wait 60 days for the system to update and there is nothing they can do to help.

Is there anyone out there that had this RFE experience? How would you know that they received? I checked on USCIS website and it didn't show RFE received.

Btw I mailed to the above address on a regular mail not certify or anything like that. Is this the same address that you sent your RFE to? On my RFE letter it doesn't tell you exactly to mail your RFE to clearly. On the very bottom of the letter it say the following (see the exact wording below).

"You will be notified separately about any other applications or pettions you filed. Save this notice. Please enclose a copy of it if you write to us about this case, or if you file another application based on this decision. Our address is:

USCIS - California Service Center

P.O. Box 10590

Laguna Niguel, CA 92607-0590

800-375-5283"

Thank you so much for your help! I'd greatly appreciated!

Do you know if they signed for it? I sent mine, and when they got it, I had a signature of who signed for it. Turned out the officer who issued my RFE signed for my evidence packet.

No I haven't write the case number on the 2 things that they requested. All I did was placed the original RFE papers and 2 requested items in the envelope. On the envelope I wrote as the following:

From:

Randy and my home address

To:

USCIS - California Service Center

I should write the case number on the envelope and the 2 items but didn't because i'm to quick to mail out.

For what it is worth... I would be sure to write the case # on ALL documents and send it at least priority with a comfirmation receipt, after all, your being together IS a priority so be sure to treat your correspondance as such... Best wishes for speedy NOA2
