There is a forum on this site that called "The Stupid RFE Thread, List all your stupid RFEs here"

If you havent read that forum yet, here is what ppl wrote;

the common RFE i seen with NVC is on DS-230 where lot of people forget to put 'Present' in the address . i think question # 20...

Well I got an RFE because they want two passport photos of me and everything retranslated into Enlgish

Did not fill in the income totals for the last 3 years on question #25 (I-864)

Sending copy of PCC instead of Original

Marriage Certificate needs to be Original not Certified or not translated UNLESS you got married somewhere else other that country you have your interview in

it is always recommanded to fill out the forms completly to make sure you didn't miss one space. If question is not realted to you, put N/A.

Its wise to call NVC in regular basis to find out if there is possible RFE on your case so you can return needed documents ASAP. Waiting for NVC mailing system is a waste of time.

Name on the PCC did not include the alternate spelling listed on the DS-230. Insist that your PCC includes all alternate names, spellings, and aliases that were indicated on any other immigration form.

I miscalculated the year I turned 16

Go over all the answers a lot of times and make sure that every entry is correct!

When completing Aff of Support make sure u list three years of tax returns - and back it up with transcripts

When sending Originals to either USCIS or NVC - make sure you ordered additional cause one or the other is bound to lose them.

When self employed make sure you look at bottom line of Schedule C - they are not crazy about gross but really sorta interested in net on that one

The common RFE ,i have seen in most cases when ppl don't write "Present" in Q # 20.

So the soloution is very simple not to fill out the DS 230 forms in computer coz in Q # 20 computer can only write digits not Alphabetic words.

Need notorized letter from the other parent allowing the child/ren to immigrate to the US. Very important if you are petitioning a child with or without the parent.

They wanted my most recent IRS #######, from 2007. Fine. I was living and working in Japan for just about the entire year of 2007 so I sent them the 2555 I filed (income of Americans working abroad). They RFE'd me, asking for the regular W2 or whatever. I explained to an NVC guy on the phone that I didn't work in the US during 2007, which would be apparent should one take the time to look through my file. Still, I had to resubmit the entire AOS complete with this IRS-2555, everything being identical to what I'd already submitted, nothing different, nothing additional.

RFE: Question 20 - list all the places you have lived since 16 - I listed the three places I have lived at and the most recent periods I lived there, my home town for the past year, 6 months soemhwere else and 6 months somewhere else. Before that i lived at my hometown again, but did not include it, figured i listed it once already. turned out there shouldn't be a gap between the age of 16 and present, so i had to mail the form again.

Left out the W2 & the proof of current employment

NVC says my country of domicile was not listed.

i got an RFE asking for my husbands (USCs) original birth certificate at the I864 stage as they wanted proof he is related to his father, who is living with him and is our co sponsor on the I864A.

Stupid RFE: For India, apparently you have to submit 2 police clearances. One from the District Police and one from the passport office. Especially for New Delhi, you have to have it for NVC, but other embassies in India, such as Mumbai, you can submit at your interview. We only submitted the district PCC.

Country: Egypt Stupid RFE: NVC says husband's military certificate needs to be from Ministry of War, but that name is no longer used.

Stupid RFE: court records from a TRAFFIC stop. If it shows on the PCC, no matter how trivial you think it is, get certified copies of the court records, because the NVC will want them.

Stupid RFE: Marriage certificate stated that it was issued by the "Demographic Service" in Italy instead of "vital statistics office".

my rfe wasi didnt send my cosponors proof of citzenship or permant resident ,i really didnt see anywhere that u had to send that

Hope this will be helpful to someone in the future!

Thanks for your RFE list.... I will try my best to read all the documents 10 times before i send it.The new DS230 the question you were talking to write PRESENT it says there present...so no need to worry.. I am trying my best for May interview for my wife( CHENNAI CONSULATE-INDIA ). I am getting my original birth certificate done at the local level in India(cuz i heard NVC doesnt accept the petitoner's Birth certificate issued by the local Indian consulate here in U.S)
