All of a sudden, lots of problems with USCIS

It means have the beneficiary list 3 traits about the petitioner and have the petitioner list 3 traits about the beneficiary. It's not confusing or a trick question.

Specially after completing whole sentence:

" PETITIONER MUST list and describe the three most attractive characteristics/traits possessed by the U.S. citizen spouse (petitioner) that initially drew the beneficiary to him/her. The US citizen spouse must prepare a similar statement discussing the three characteristics/traits that he/she found most attractive about the beneficiary."

" BENEFICIARY MUST list and describe the three most attractive characteristics/traits possessed by the U.S. citizen spouse (petitioner) that initially drew the beneficiary to him/her. The US citizen spouse must prepare a similar statement discussing the three characteristics/traits that he/she found most attractive about the beneficiary."

Which way makes sense?

Yes, the letter is boilerplate and they may have copied/pasted and put it under a list of items needed from the petitioner when the first item in that note refers to something required from the beneficiary. The clue is "The USC must submit a similar statement" which indicates that the beneficiary provides the first statement in the list.

It would be slightly clearer if the items were swapped, ie "Please provide a statement about the 3 traits of the beneficiary. The Beneficiary must provide a similar statement about the USC." But this thing is copy/pasted, boilerplate response. They want a list each from each party about the other person. There is no need to over-think this.

But dose the objective " TO HIM/HER" mean whom is required to list and describe the three traits? Thanks.

Oh, this drives us crazy

My interpretation is this:

You describe 3 things about your spouse and your spouse describes 3 things about you.

That's because it is a BOILERPLATE COPY/PASTED item. You are over thinking this++

Our K1 visa application went very smooth and quick with no problems and so did our AOS application until recently.

Recent problems:

1. The fingerprints were not good enough the first time, so we had to make a 2nd trip.

2. They lost her medical from China and requested a new I-693 with vaccination, TB Test, etc.

Now we get a 2nd RFE requesting an enormous amount of additional evidence.

Another G-325a, I-864, birth certs, phone numbers, work numbers, copies of driver's license with notarized signature on copy.

List 3 attractive traits, new color photographs holding a front page of a recent newspaper, payroll statements, check stubs, utility bills, copies of both our auto health insurance plans.

Anyone ever heard of this?

Looks like you have a stokes interview to go to. study up, red flags somewhere.

We are working for description for each other.

APPROVED !!!

Approval took about two weeks after they received our response with no interview required.

Just a follow up to help someone who might get a similar RFE, here is what we did.

Firstly, we carefully and thoroughly submitted all the information they requested even items that seemed redundant such as asking for copies of driver's license three times.

Then, added extra evidence such as pictures, scans of magazine covers showing name and mailing address, ebay purchases, etc.

Lastly we assembled all the pages (around 200 total) and created a cover sheet with an index where to find specific items.

If anyone in the future has any questions please feel free to message us.

Victory! Congratulations, si man!

Yeah, a happy ending. I imagine it was a bit of a pain to collect your 200 pages of evidence! After reading some of the posts on your thread I was getting scared for you! In the end you did what USCIS asked you to do and had almost immediate approval! Lesson here for me: is not to jump to worse case scenarios just because USCIS is asking for more evidence, even though at times it seems excessive or ridiculous to us! I am happy things worked out for the best for you! Have an awesome day!

Thank you.

I guess it's human nature to always think the worst, especially in this situation.

It was a pain. But after we calmed down from the initial shock and disappointment. We just took our time and tackled it piece by piece until we had everything. Also it really helped that ROGERJ sent me a message saying they went through the same thing and after they sent all the info they were approved quickly. It's important that we all share our experiences because it will probably help someone in the future.
