Just wait for the letter. Speculating right now is sure fire way to increase blood pressure without achieving anything.

It looks to me like they might've seen a couple of red flags... you listed proof of financial transactions. Does this mean proof of money sent to the beneficiary by the petitioner? If so, that's suspect for any high fraud consulate (though I don't know if yours is one since you haven't listed where you're case is from/for). Also, it doesn't sound like you sent much to support the legitimacy of your relationship. You have to keep in mind that the CO who reviews your file is looking at it from the perspective that your relationship is false, until you've given them irrefutable evidence that it's real. Have you sent them evidence that shows the length of your relationship? How your families feel about your marriage? friends/family memebers' accounts of your relationship being real (and how they know--do they see you together, etc.) A handful of pictures and chat logs isn't much evidence to prove that you're actually a couple. And depending on which consulate you're dealing with, this can completely make or break your case.

mostly beneficiary sending to petitioner but I have from both ways. We got married in Canada. Beneficiary lives in canada but is from Philippines. I sent receipts of trips, receipts of gifts, cards, money tansactions, web cam calls, text messages, receipts of wedding rings, photos of trips together, with fam, and wedding. If thats not enough for them then this process sucks.

Question I sent them, I guess called short form of marriage cert. Was i supposed to send the long form? I was kinda looking to see what it could be and that came to mind.

People may get RFE for different reasons.

Based on your responses, I can think of three reasons.

a)Proof of US Citizenship by birth or by Naturalization ?

b)Bonafide Marriage (affidavit from relatives/friends)?

c) The photo of the Petitioner and Beneficiary is as per the required format?

I am curious to know once you get the RFE, please share the info.. May be it will be helpful for others. Good Luck!

I didn't do affidavits because when i was putting the packet together, I heard from people it wasn't really necessary. I Printed the photos on paper to send. 4 photos per page. maybe they need original photos? and maybe they need the marriage cert long form cuz i just sent the short form i guess its called.

I understand that you send the printout of photos as proof of evidence to your marriage. But I am talking about two passport picture (One for the petitioner and one for the beneficiary) along with (I-130, G-325 (beneficiary, petitioner), marriage certificate, Proof of US Citizenship, etc.... (This two passport picture need to be original).

Oh, I sent the passport photos (original) with the g-325a forms. My passport photo (petitioner) didn't have a stamp on the back though of when it was taken. Is there supposed to be a stamp? because they never stamped it or anything.

I bet that is it, you need to send the official long form marriage certificate from Canada. You will need this if you don't have it, order one now, or have your wife order it from the registrar of the province you were married in. You should be able to expedite by paying an extra fee.

yeh i have the actual marriage cert. to send in to them with mine. But I'm wondering why this poster got a txt, and I didnt even get one? are you supposed to get a txt from them?

I registered my husband's mobile but didn't work.

We just got the email, which both of us could sign in.

Then a few days later, we got the RFE hardcopy

My husband didn't give them his photo

What I wanted to say was like us only 1 original marriage certificate.

So, We just gave the photocopy one not original.

Because DS230 needs the original certificate.

According to my husband's thinking.

He thought we would be likely required to provide additional documents.

That's why he didn't provide his photo in our I130 package.

And not even the below documents

-printouts of webcam calls

-record of text messages

-receipts of money transactions

-receipts of trips

-photo pages of evidence to our bona fide relationship and marriage.

A copy of the marriage certificate is usually enough for the I-130, so long as it is the official document. But like anything else it's up to the adjudicating officer to accept or RFE.
