Have you checked your status on-line today. I just did and for the first time it came up. My husband's card has been ordered. :-)

Got RFE'd....Dang it!

Sorry to hear that... So, "RFE Awareness Month" isn't only for CSC...??

OH MY GOSH, I just checked our status online and it came up for the first time we applied. Our receipt # wouldn't work before on-line... but it just did and this is what it says

"On March 18, 2011, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you."

WOW... I can't believe it...

Bobalouie and Gypsyangel, sorry you got RFE'd. How did you find out about it? Your online status changed or you got it in the mail? Thanks & good luck.

We found out about it thru an infopass appt last friday and got the letter on saturday. We were trying to get the I-551 stamp in the passport because we were worried with how long it is takeing and my wife and I will be traveling back to Russia here in a couple of months. I didnt get an email notification at all, so I checked my online status and it hasnt changed.

For those asking about evidence, yes, they want more, and it is my fault. When we got married, I checked around about adding my wife as co owner of our house, and everyone told me I would have to refinance to do that (this includes title company people), and I was not going to pay closing costs again just to get her name on the document to satisfy USCIS. Turns out, you dont have to refi to do it. I found out today that you can file a Quit Claim deed with Joint Tenancy and she can be added. So, I spent a couple hours in the courthouse today getting all that done. Hopefully they dont freak about the date (being today) that she was added. I am also going to include all the titles for our autos and such, which I didnt do before hand since I included documentation about her being the sole beneficiary for all my life insurance, 401K, etc, as well as tax statements showing that she and I have a joint checking account. Lesson learned...

I am also thinking of includeing the bank statements, which I didnt include in the original submittal. I really dont understand how bank statements showing withdrawls for the entire period of our marriage shows that we are in a good faith marriage and continue to share a life together. You cant see who made the withdrawl on a statement, and the USCIS really doesnt need to know what/where we spend our money. But if they want an additional 200 or so pages of bank statements, then so be it.

Hi!

What did you initially send and are they asking for anything specific now? Thanks.

yeye · March 21, 2011

Hi Yasi,

Congrats on your approval!!

1) Could you share with us all the docs you sent for RFE response?

2) You mentioned in one of your postings, that the RFE envelope was small. Did you fit all the docs in RFE envelope or did you send all the docs in a bigger envelope?

3) How did you send the RFE response, regular mail, certified regular mail or priority mail?

Thanks and enjoy your approval!!

Thanks yeye...

For the RFE, I sent our old apartment lease with both of our signatures on it, our move-out paper from that apartment. I sent 4 pictures of our wedding and celebration in Iran with his family, copies of PG&E bills from 2008 & 2009 (didn't send too many just every few months), again 2008 & 2009 taxes filled jointly, again copy of title of our house we purchased together, copies of bank statements since I added him to the account (not all of them just every few months), and also we had the registration of our marriage with the consulate of Iran translated and included. I don't think this was so much necessary but we wanted to proof this is for real. Most importantly, I wrote a one page letter explaining what we were including to the response of RFE & the fact that we are happily married and have been living together since the first day of our marriage. Really emphasize on that... that you have been married from such a date and been living together and these are the documents to back up your statement.

As for the envelope, since all these wouldn't fit in the small envelope they sent, I put everything in a big envelope and taped the small envelope to the big envelope (where you write the address where the packet is going)... I sent it first class mail, certified and return of receipt. This way you can track it easily and find out when they receive your packet.

Hope this helps and good luck.

yeye · March 22, 2011

Hi Yasi,

Thanks for your response. With the RFE you sent couple of items again (taxes & title of your house).

Also, it's interesting to hear that you taped the small RFE envelope in front of the envelope you sent as a response. Looks like lot of people do that.

Good Luck!
