Question about RFE

[jef&clk 0]

Hello every one I am new here to VJ and this is my first post and have a question about a RFE that I received from the USCIS. I filed for my K1 back in May of this year and hired an Immigration law firm to handle my case for me. I do not know to much and wanted to make sure that I would avoid any pit falls that one might have with the paper work and sought out a good firm to represent my case. I know people are human and make mistakes but when you hire a professional in the area of immigration you would think they would dot their I's and cross the T's as I still got an RFE for something that was an error on the firms part. they forgot to check all the forms and a signature was left out on the I129 form. After waiting for several moths I called the office to see what was going on and they told me about the RFE. Does any one know if I should be worried in this matter? as the law firm told me that was all that was missing and once I provide the signature the USCIS would approve the file and send it on its way but when I called the USCIS on Monday when I still did not here any thing they told me that the law office should not have told me that and no decision has been made yet. here is a copy of the email that was sent to me by my law office

Dear Mr. xxxxxxxxx,

USCIS sent a request for an answer which we inadvertently omitted to respond to on the form. Once we provide the response they will approve Ms. Lyn's application and forward it to the Embassy in Bangkok.

Is it possible for you to come in and sign this afternoon or tomorrow morning. I am here until 5;30 this evening and I will be in at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow until 3:00 p.m.

Let me know if its possible for you to come in to sign so that we can send the form back to USCIS.

Thanks,

Sincerely,

Paula.

Has any one here ever experienced any thing similar to this or have any advice on what will happen now if that is all that is missing? I hope and pray that all is ok and they will not find something else to send another RFE on as I know this is only going to hold things up even longer now

Thank you and

Happy Holidays to every one :-)

If it is just a missing signiture and checking off a box that is a minor RFE. After that is submitted, they will still have to make a decision on the approval. So the only thing you have to do is wait.

I also had a simple RFE. When I responded, within 2 weeks they made a decision and I was approved. Check my sigiture and/or timeline.

dump the lawyer

I agree. If you followed the instruction here on VJ you will save money and you will have more control over the process.

OK thank you so much every onefor the advice I just got worried after finding out about the RFE and I wish that I would have know about this site before hiring the lawyer and used that money to make another trip to see my baby.

First of all I see something that does not look correct.... Your copy and past of the letter "Embassy in Bangkok". You have on your profile a Philippine Flag. Maybe your Attorney messed up countries or I am in desperate need of a week long Holiday break from work lol...

Lawyers in this case are only good in the event you need legal representation due to a tough issue in the past or second if you have no time to put the packet together on your own.

Good luck
