How long do i have to wait after i submitted an RFE?

[beaisabel75 0]

I as the petitioner, did not submit the my original birth certificate and NBI(for husband). I called NVC and they said Wait for 20 days after documents submitted before calling them again. They could not tell me if it they already process my papers. Should i submit these missing docs before i received an RFE? I followed the LingCHE wiki page and missed these. Please help.

Wait for the RFE. The NVC doesn't know to look for them, and they may get misplaced if you send them now.

And did you submit your own birth cert?gosshh,,,i forgot this one. I just learned this from my friend who got an rfe for not submitting her birth cert as petitioner for her parents. Isnt that we submitted this at the USCIS stage?

I didn't submit my birth cert. @ USCIS - did all pages of the passport instead. And besides, if you did, you should only have sent in a copy.

i thought as a petitioner, you don't need to send a birth certificate since when you come to the US this was already submitted. Didn't they should have a record for this? I haven't fix my gender typo on my birth certificate. I have only my notarization letter explaining about the typo mistakes on my gender. I hope they wont ask coz fixing this would end me going home to the philippines and would takes 2-3 months, which is impossible coz i have work here can only go on vacation up to 4-5 weeks.

You have to prove your citizenship to USCIS somehow - which is either by submitting a birth certificate or by all pages of your passport - or (I just thought of this, as it doesn't apply to me) your naturalization certificate. Just because your birth was registered locally doesn't mean the federal government automatically knows about it.

When i filed for I-130 i submitted my wife birth certificate, copy of our Marriage Certificate, copy of my Naturalization and copy of my U.S. Passport... When usually RFE coming in? Between what form? Already received NOA2 and approved but still waiting for my case number. It's already been 18 days and counting.

Do you see what I bolded there? That's your citizenship proof. If you bothered reading the post I replied to, you would have seen that you were fine.
