Extremely important for newbies K1 visa

Do RFEs always slow the process down? I've seen some people on here who received an RFE and when they sent the new info, they got the NOA2 right away. All I sent were a few pictures, but then a translated copy of our lease when we lived together and a translated copy of a bank account we had together, hopefully that will be enough!

Boarding passes never show the year all they write is - say - NOV 23.

For what they know, NOV 23 could be this year, last year, 10 years ago. Of course if you put together a boarding pass, a stamp in your passport on the same day or the next day depending on the travel time, and some pics of the two of you together taken during that visit, I bet you're fine. I didn't know the distinction between primary and secondary evidence, but it sounds like common sense to me.

I flew international united, mine have ddmmyy as well.

Sometimes they show the year and sometimes they don't.

I confirm that NONE of my boarding passes shows the year. I've checked them all: Air France, British Airways, Delta, Alitalia, Ryanair, United, Virgin America, Southwest. I have like 30. Both national (within the US and within Europe) and international (between the US and Europe). they only show the day and the month. I assume that this is a common thing at least among all the passengers that were on my same flights, but somehow I suspect that it is more common that we think.

Starting from that, I applied what's called inductive reasoning (= the process by which a conclusion is inferred from multiple observations), but apparently my conclusion was influenced by the fact that I must have been extremely unlucky to only receive those weird boarding passes without the year.

PS: If I may add a personal opinion, and I speak in general terms because it's a thing that I've noticed quite a few times in several threads, it's annoying to read comments the intent of which is exclusively to point out that other people are talking bullshit.

While that may be understandably annoying, hopefully you also realize that providing incorrect information that people then act on has a much more far reaching impact than a brief annoyance.

Who can say? It's logical that it would slow the process down somewhat, because one could argue that if all the adjudicator needs had been there at the time he was looking for it, they would have dealt with that case and moved it to the 'approval' pile. With an RFE, they wait for the evidence to come back and the likelihood is that it takes them a little longer to get back to your file. And of course a NOA2 arrives after the RFE response is dealt with. Assuming they receive what they asked for.

I got rfe'd a while ago, and it added approx 25 days to the process -- so no worries as that was on the high end -- in regards to sending pictures / email log / chat log --- USCIS may not look at it, but I will tell you this... The fact that we did include this in our petition, it made our interview very easy at the embassy-- the pics and email/phone records were mentioned by our interviewer --- she said " wow you two look happy in your pictures and happy now" and " it looks like you keep in constant contact" -- we were only asked TWO questions and then approved --- so go ahead and send it, since your I-129F is sent to the embassy and they will look it over.

" wow you two look happy in your pictures and happy now"

Yup, our CO said, "You guys make a cute couple" and smiled

i hope you also realize that this is a DYI website,meaning people give advice,they are here to seek and give advice.more often than not high ranked members suggest that the petitioners read USCIS instructions and guides first and then come to this website for help and advice.in the end of the day people are going to commend and give the advice they think is correct,but making the final decision is up to the OP

Of course, but I have no idea what this has to do with the discussion. When false information is given, it needs to be corrected with clear and direct true statements. The member's success in the process is far more important than the feelings of the person unknowingly making false statements and certainly far more important than how a reader might feel about somebody else's false statements being corrected.

[newlyweds2010 208]

oh yeah I totally agree that correcting false statements of law that may induce others to commit painful mistakes is important. I'm just saying that sometimes the way certain comments and replies are written is rather annoying. after all this is a DIY site of people who are going through the same process and may have a different degree of knowledge depending on their own journey and the stages they've already been through. it's not a contest of who the biggest know-all smartass of the web is, there's no rewards whatsoever.

that's it, no grudge and happy Thanksgiving to all.

So then, anybody who doesn't really know what they're talking about should leave it to those that do, to provide the help instead of guessing wrong. That way, nobody would get their precious panties in wad about being corrected. Happy Thanksgiving.

Along with not being all equally edumacated on the immigration stuff, we are also not equally diplomatic on how we say things.. We all have our own personalities.. One thing about the internet, people involved here are from all parts of the globe, so that brings diferent backgrounds, culture, experience, and personalities...

But....

........Happy Thanksgiving...

The thin skinned who over-react have a tough time with this process. I'll take straight talk over fluffy maybes any day. Different strokes for different folks but the advice here is free, so it's wise to take the strokes you get.
