Confused: I-129F RFE

[W Mark and Carol 0]

Hi Everyone,

I'm curious to know if anyone else has had a similar issue:

We got our first RFE today stating that our I-129F Petition is incomplete, please submit the following:

INTENT TO MARRY: The beneficiary must each provide an original statement (signed and dated) indicating that they plan to marry each other within 90 days of the beneficiary's admission to the U.S. and are both free to marry. Make sure you write your name, sign and date at the bottom of the statement/letter.

We certainly did submit an intent to marry, each. Both were written using the samples provided here. I signed and posted mine to my fiance from New Zealand where I was at the time to ensure he sent the original.

The only thing I can think - is that our letters were dated at the top of the letter rather than the bottom.

Anyone have any other ideas??

MARRIAGE TERMINATION. "The Judgement/Order summaries submitted as evidence of marriage termination between [my fiance & his ex-wife] is not sufficient evidence. Submit a legible copy of the full final divorce decree that shows proof of filing, or the death certificate, signed, dated and issued by a judge or civil authorities that terminated the prior marriage(s) between.....

We submitted a copy of the ENTIRE five page Divorce Decree document, as signed by the judge and stamped with the date of filing. Although the first page has a main heading "Judgement/Order summaries" - it is definitely entitled "DIVORCE DECREE" on every page and is signed and dated by the Judge. There is no other document..

We were very careful to organise and clearly label everything in the package

Any ideas?....

Is it possible that USCIS have lost some pages of documuents we submitted? Any similar experiences?

Off the top of my head...

Originally when I wrote the Letters of Intent. I noticed that mine said "within 90 days of MY arrival in to...", so I had to change that.

Also, I did get both of mine notorized.

That is the only thing I can think about. Neither of us have ever been married, so I would not know about the rest, but good luck on your journey.

Thanks for replying here. Good point there - but no, my fiance wrote "upon her arrival.."

We'll call California Centre on Monday to enquire, but I have already posted another original letter, this time dated next to my signature. Hopefully that will work...

I see no mistakes on your part. Looks Complete to me. But, there might be a good thing to this. A RFE gets attention and when the matter is cleared your odds of a Faster Approval Increase.
