We didn't have anywhere near as much evidence as I would have liked, but the main pieces we had were tax returns, lease, and joint banking, along with some odds and ends like him being under my dental insurance and cards addresses to the two of us.

We just got the Biometrics letter, so does this mean that we will not get an RFE or does it have nothing to do with the status of the case? Is the Biometrics notice just sent out X number of days after the package is received?

Any insight would be much appreciated. :blush:

Dang, it looks like they want the Biometrics stuff before they start reviewing the case for possible RFEs. I was hoping it would mean that we don't need additional evidence, but everything is still up in the air.

You can still get an RFE!

^^ Agree. Biometrics is just one step in the process but doesn't mean there will be no RFEs.

Good luck. :thumbs:

Normally, RFE and Interview letter comes after Bio and it's unexpectedly and no matter what you provided enough evidence or not!!:wacko: (in other words, it seems selected at random)

Let's take "June filer" for example...

VJName.............Date of I-751.....NOA1 Date......Biometrics......Approved....

TRUFFLES...........06/04/10..........06/14/10.......07/27/10........10/28/10.... (Interview letter received 10/08 for 10/28)

LINDSEY Y KOKI.....06/07/10..........06/10/10.......07/20/10........10/13/10.... (RFE received 7/31, responded 8/06)(Interview letter received 9/18 for 10/01)JMK................06/11/10..........06/16/10.......07/29/10........09/24/10.... (RFE received 8/15)INCORRECTPOLITICS..06/12/10..........06/14/10.......07/23/10........11/05/10.... (Interview letter received 10/13 for 11/05)

LQUINTERO88........06/14/10..........06/--/10.......07/22/10........--/--/10.... (RFE received 10/01)

LA VIDA ES BELLA...06/16/10..........06/19/10.......08/13/10........09/23/10.... (Early Bio 7/26)(RFE received 8/16)

NICOLAS_HAWAII.....06/23/10..........06/25/10.......07/20/10........10/19/10.... (RFE received 9/21)

I can confirm this. Did bio 2 weeks ago and RFE is on it's way. Probably because address information was inconsistent on the paperwork as we were in the process of moving.
