Not More Evidence!!!

[elephantmaniac22 0]

I checked my email today and my application was finally touched after 2 months. But unfortunately they want more evidence. I sent a bunch the first time, what more could they want. I was looking forward to getting the NOA2, but now this. Not a good day. This happening to anyone else?? It is very frustrating.

Unfortunate and disappointing, but not the end of the world.

You won't know exactly what they're looking for until the hard copy of the Request for Evidence (RFE) arrives, but you can start preparing. Hopefully you kept a photocopy of the entire package you sent as part of the I-129F initial submission. If so, get it out and check it against the VisaJourney K-1 guide. Look for missing signatures, any blanks you or your fiance may have missed on any of the forms, etc. This can help you to anticipate the RFE and start gathering possible additional evidence, so that you can respond to the RFE as quickly as possible after the hard copy arrives.

On the positive side, this lets you know that they're working your case—when your additional evidence arrives at CSC they'll start processing you again, and as long as you've provided what they needed, NOA2 will follow soon thereafter!

My friend, do not despair. This happened to me too. I included a whole bunch of evidence when I filed my I-130 only to have them send back an RFE wanting more evidence. I put an INCREDIBLE package together. I'm including some pictures so you can see. I sent them;

Copy of our mariage licence (again)

Copy of my son's birth certificate (again)

Copy of my pasport showing my monthly visits to my wifes country

Affidavits for Bonafide Mariage (again)

Copy of receipt for engagement ring

copy of receipt for honeymoon hotel

copy of auto insurance policy

and photos of our wedding and sons birth.

You have to wait to see what the RFE states. Then disect it slowly and put your pakage together.

Good luck.

They're right. Find out what's in the RFE letter first before you panic. I had one because I missed a checkbox in one of the forms. Sent it back the next day and just delayed my approval for a week.

Thanks for the replys. Just the thought of another RFE is frustrating. I had one at the beginning because I had sent them a copy of an original when the wanted the original signiture. I hope it is as easy of a fix as that. But knowing my luck it won't be.

Out of interest, can you let us know what form/letter was it that needed to be an original so that others don't 'make the same mistake?

Because you'll be dealing with a tough consulate, your RFE may be a blessing in disguise. See the U.S. Consulate forum and the post regarding "testimonial letters." You can collect these and include them in your response to the RFE. USCIS may not care, but this could pay off big-time when your package reaches the consulate.
