The answer MAY be somewhere in the email hidden in bureaucratic-ese.

I don't see why they wouldn't tell you what the evidence requested was in the email,

but then government isn't always concerned with efficiency but with fulfilling minimum

"requirements" as stated in the handbook.

No need to give yourself extra worry. Wait until you have the RFE in hand and submit the needed info.

The new form 325A is only one page. I agree...just wait until you get the RFE. No reason to get too worried. At least your wife is with you during this part of the process.

I'm guessing its the G-325a... accdg to the guide you have to send 4 copies.. I could be wrong tho... :) goodluck

10. G-325A filled out, signed and dated. If you are using a newer version of the G-325A it may only contain one page for "Biographic Information". Be sure to make four copies of the completed "Biographic Information" page to submit with the package.

Hi, we both have the RFE, mine is I-693 but I already sent that with my documents. They are asking another I-693, I do not know if they do not accept it because Dr. Arnold signed it.

Better to wait and don't worry too much because I was thinking about mine before because I know I already gave all the required documents.

Hi, I sent my I-693 but still I have my RFE, requesting for another I-693. It's possible that you will receive it, I am not sure of it.

The service will process my I-765, EAD within 90 days of the receipt of my missing initial evidence.

i know,..oh well this hold up sucks :( but i guess things happen for a reason.. we will just have to wait.. and nothing is being mentioned in the email about what it is.. and I've read most of the time it is only in the letter so I can't wait to get that done and over with

Hi, I know what you feel and I understand it. It's hard to be far to your husband since you just married.

In my RFE, it says there initial evidence. Only to find out that it is the I-693 which I already accomplished. Some just sent DS then just asked to bring it in the interview.

Maybe in your case another initial evidence. It's hard to think actually, I know what you feel because I received an RFE email knowing it's all accomplished. Tues or Wed you can receive it and maybe a day after you can response to it.

Dr. Arnold's representative told me that I already completed my shots in the Phil. As a responds to my RFE I went to another CS and same shots I had in the Philippines was required ;) . Well I just accepted it since I need another I-693 and he said the shots will be covered by my insurance.
