December Filer receives RFE after sending in 75 pages of documents and supporting evidence

[extremerecluse 32]

I am a December K1 filer. Today, I received an RFE. On Friday, April 8, the CSC received a packet I mailed that contains around 75 documents and supporting evidence. If they looked in this packet they would have found any missing items in my original filing in December. I knew that I was going to get an RFE for I was missing so much evidence. So, I decided to mail everything that was missing last week. I know they have been working on October filers cases which leads me to believe that my mailing caused them to pull my file early. I am not complaining. Just curious as to what caused them to pull my file. Should I call them and inform them that the extra filing is located somewhere within the CSC? I will send whatever they require of me. Any sound ideas?

Did you send the information before you received the RFE letter? If so, you'll have to send the information again with a copy of the RFE notice (it should say on the RFE letter that you must return the package with the letter on top). The package may have spurred them to look at your case but they will only look at the original file and probably not anything that was sent in afterwards without the RFE letter. Send the information that they ask for in the RFE and your case should continue on. It only took about 10 days after I sent off the info for our RFE and we had the approval.

I don't think the documents that I sent in last week made any difference. I received private messages from other December filers that there petitions were reviewed along with RFE notices. I think this was a case of a supervisor conducting training or another "cookin the books episode". Whatever be the case, I will be ready for the RFE. I just finished making copies of everything. I never knew about this site until one month after I mailed the petition. If I would have known, the RFE would not have happened. That is what you get for going solo. That will never happen again. I have studied in detail every aspect of the visa journey process using this website. If this was a "Cookin the Books Episode", I apologize to all who filed before me and are waiting patiently. It is totally unfair to those who have been waiting. I work in the federal government and it is common practice to jazz up the numbers, especially when a manager is looking to get promoted.

I have a similar situation having sent documents after having sent the I-129F but the application only went on Mar31 so no response other than the NOA1 so far. Did you sent the additional information (75 pieces) to the Texas lockbox or directly to California?

My initial filing was December 22, 2010. I only send the I129F form, I-134(not required) with supporting evidence, G135A with photos, my birth certificate, copy of passport entries showing travel to the Philippines, copy of my divorce order. Not too many items were missing like letters of intent from both of us, proof of meeting and possibly ongoing relationship items and her husbands death certificate. I highly recommend studying this website concerning your needs and following it exactly. There is a lot of knowledge to be gained here. Experience is everything during this journey and some here have a lot of it. Use that experience, because I did not and it cost me so much in aspirin. I sent the missing documents to the CSC which is reviewing my case. I don't think sending them caused the early review because other December filers have sent me private messages stating their petitions were reviewed and they have received RFEs.

we didn't discover this website until the I-129F and some docs had been sent, and as I notice others have, were misdirected by other websites which didn't give such complete information. The worst of it being that we had all docs available but understood from info we had already received that these weren't required until later in the process. There seem to be many inconsistencies with timing etc but I am now glued to VJ. Did you send your following docs direct to California?
