Oh my gosh that's a rather harsh RFE. Good luck with all that. Your going to have to do some digging I know I am. I am thinking I am going to get the same thing. Already informed of RFE! I hope I can find/supply most of that stuff, wow UGH I do not have many hotel reciepts. We stayed at her friends house for 8 days in Guangzhou. Can I ask my wife to have her friend supply a letter for us stating we stayed at her house for 8 days? Lucky I have pictures of the whole wedding, family etc. I just know I am going to get the same thing. It figures.

Whooooooooow we had the same exact RFE

Provide the Receipt of the hotel that you have and if you could not get a contract stating that you stayed together in that apartment then you should include a letter

with the package to explain the whole situation that you could not get a rent contract with the apartment owner because that's how it works in Egypt .

Good Luck Bro

I'm stuffed if I get that RFE. Seriously. I have no evidence of staying anywhere because I failed to inform my landlord when he came to Japan, and we stayed all over the place in "incognito" love hotels where you walk in, pay cash and no questions asked. I fear that RFE more than I fear death. Pray for me too because we did not submit a heck of a lot of evidence. We don;'t write physical letters, don't believe in cards and I hate having photos taken (so we have hardly any.)

[RightClicK 17]

red section -

ok - so no receipts -

but

do you have any type of rental agreement, or lease agreement?

IF NOT - then 'make one' , retroactive on the dates.

Have the owner sign it.

( I don't care how it's done in Egypt, and neither will any adjudicating officer - make a rental agreement, include paid receipts with his signature, and go forth)

I have a 2 or 3 days receipt only , its with ma wife , anyways i been to my aunt too and i stayed there many days , i will get a letter from her stating that and i will translate it too.

I don't think the man whom rented us the apartment will make any agreement for me , its been 9 months since i was there , so i will be sending a letter explaining how it works in Egypt and what happened with the letter from my aunt that receipt and all photos too .

Sounds like another scumbag lawyer. Hope you can get a refund from him. I sent most but not all of the things on your RFE with my application. If I can be of any help to you, just ask. That is one hell of an RFE! I hope I dont get one like that.

Yea , he screwed me , but believe me , I'm Egyptian and i DON'T leave my rights , so I'm just waiting for the right time and i will screw him and will remind you all ....At least you sent something , HE DIDN'T ....Thanks for offering help to me .n yeah its a hell RFE , Inshallah(If Allah allowed that ) you will not get one like that.

Best luck to all of you .

Lemme tell you something Shirorisu ,There is a say here says " If you got afraid of the ghost , It will come to you ".

So you shouldn't be scared of the RFE , You NEED to PREPARE for it and Work on it instead of waiting scared for it . Find a chance instead of staying still.

Wish the best for you.

Hi Sam.

Really, I moved away from the country I lived in so I have no proof, in fact we tried specifically to be incognito because my ex had abandoned me with the house (rent in his name) having lied to all his co-workers and friends that we were still together (to keep up the Japanese status quo.) I was mailing my landlord in my ex's name pretending he was still here, because I was terrified of being evicted. There are similarly no letters or cards, low amount of photos and all the hotel receipts were always in my name (and I've lost them anyway.) I'm horribly disorganised I know, but as the original intention was to live in UK not US I kept none of this stuff. I feel physically ill with worry, there's just no proof, we supplied maybe 30% of what this RFE asks for and we supplied literally everything we had.

90% of our chatting was via IRC (no records) in a chat room I made or on X-box Live (doubt Microsoft would supply proof) in a videogame with very bad support. I know you got the RFE but at least look on the bright side, you have some proof. Good luck. I only hope coming from a "first world" country wuill be in my favour.

Well, Obviously you don't have enough money to meet your hubby , but i have a good idea for you , Make a joint account in a US bank , your hubby can do it , and obviously you are using a pc , so you can open cams and take Screen Shots (SS) , You can send messages to your husband through yahoo for free , just right click on his mail in your yahoo contact list and then send SMS , Type his number with the country code 001 ,he will receive it , don't he call you , these messages and calls are recorded in his phone company so he can just call em and ask them to send him a call record for any month he want, Believe me you got proofs , Don't put your self down , Just dig for it .

i know its a little hard but it worth it .

last september, i left to the states in january. on my way, my suitcase with my

wedding albums got stolen! thank God i had a couple of them here with my parents.

it gets hard but there is always a way.

Good luck
