Just a heads up on the RFE front. I had three operators tell me three different reasons for the RFE. One said the birth certificate looked like a photo copy, the next said it was question #30 and then the final operator said that it was #30, missing police certificate and that the birth certificate had to be from Libya, not Italy...

Make sure you know how many RFE, what exactly they are so the process doesn't get delayed. My RFE checklist is waiting patiently in the envelope for it's two other friends (birth cert. and police reports) to join it before its long journey to NVC.

OK here's what I sent.

I used the barcode from the false rfe that said our 230 packet wasn't there (which it was).

Then I sent an explanation letter too that gave the operators name and time and date of my call as well as what paper I was including.

Hope thats enough!

Its on its way any how!

Yes, the copy is ok for the I-130 but they need originals at NVC. They will give them back at the interview. I know what you mean though. The original Arabic and the certified English translations we only have one copy of each and had to send them in to NVC. That's why I did the signature confirmation and I put on the cover letter to please return the documents to my husband at the interview.

She can use the barcode sheet from the IV bill. She doesn't have to wait for the RFE email.

mmmm I believe thats why I said...

Just a misunderstanding then. I thought you were telling her she had to wait for the RFE barcode sheet, but others have sent the DS230 barcode instead and have been ok.

I wouldn't worry too much about the residence thing.

I listed mine since age 12 I think. That was when we moved to the house I live now. And didn't get RFEd for that.

Some people listed since birth and were fine too.

It all depends on who is reviewing your documents I think.

Keep thinking positive guys! Don't think about RFEs too much, you may attract it to you.

;)

me too.. I wasnt really sure the date that I putted there. but make sure no year space there. :thumbs:

FYI on the RFE's - I know it's a PITA and pre-empting is great. We picked up a mistake and were already in the process of correcting it but when the checklist came in (only 2 days later)... it has something else listed as well.

IMO ... wait the extra day or two for the checklist. You never know what the hell it is they want.

OUR JOURNEY SO FAR: (dd/mm/yyyy)

18/09/09 - CR1 NOA1

16/07/10 - POE LAX (256 days NOA1 to interview)

27/09/10 - Aussie/American bun in the oven due May 10, 2011

06/01/11 - Submitted change of address online to USCIS. Mailed I-865 for sponsor. Neverending!

05/05/11 - Bouncing baby boy arrives

10/07/12 - Sent I-751
