I assume that you purposely didn't list all of the other documents required (I-94, passports, SSNs etc). If that is the case, then what you have looks good to me.

In my application I only included the first page of our bank statements, but I am taking the entire transaction history to the interview so that they can see it is an "active" account and that joint transaction are made daily.

I haven't included call history. I am just taking the section with my wife's name on it and our joint address and the section which shows that my cell number is also on the account (family plan).

Hi Chris. Thanks for your reply. I have all my originals intact. Just going crazy gathering supporting documentation. Also, our lawyer asked me to change from a 3 ring binder with plastic sleeves to expanding folder. She said that the IO will not have patience flipping througn my binder. So I clip all our originals and supporting docs separately. She said it's easier to give to IO if asked for the proofs.

Thanks again and goodluck on your interview.

I can understand, but try and relax too. Deep breathing, music, a spot of meditation, anything that will keep those nerves down. All the best and keep us updated asap.

Glad to see lots of progress on interviews and approvals, and sorry about Mike's bad experience.

We're a little late for the March filers, just submit the RFE response 2 weeks ago. USPS says it's delivered on 5/29/12 (it's sent by certified mail). So far, haven't received any email or sms confirming the receipt. Case status check from USCIS website still showing no activity?

For those of you responsed RFE, what's your experience on turn around time?

I'm just worry it went to the black hole or the case might got denied because they didn't received what we sent. The deadline to response is 6/3/12 (which it's already passed).

What should we do now?

Yes, USPS tracking already showed delivered on 5/29/12. Usually with the e-notification setup with USCIS, they'll email and text sms when the case is touched. It's been over a week, so i'm getting worried, especially te deadline to respond has passed.

Called the USCIS this morning already, they said they wouldn't search for case unless it's over 30 days.

Any other opinions?

It took >2months to respond to RFE? You should have put a signature confirmation on it. Normally USCIS takes their time getting to an RFE especially if the response was slow. Be patient.
