RFE received 03/22/2013,

[Daniela7777 0]

Hi guys, we received RFE yesterday. We need your insight and advice on what should we include in our response.

What we sent in July, 2012 was:

1) Joint tax for 2010 and 2011

2) Lease for the period of 04/2011-present

3) Joint savings account opened by our landlord with our rental deposit in it

4) Bank statements joint savings and joint checking accounts but only for the 3 months prior to July, 2012

5) Phone and cable bills. Phone bill shows both of our numbers, but both bills are on my husband,and he is the primary user

6) Copies of our state ids, showing shared same address

7) copies of our bank cards

8) photos from various occasions

In the RFE it is said that we did not send sufficient evidence and they need more evidence for marriage of good faith.

My husband and I married in 08/2009 and had lived together ever since. We changed address once. We rented apartment which was his uncle's property; however, we did pay rent and we had an original lease. I do not have a copy of the lease, as I gave the original to the lawyer we used for filing AOS, and she submitted it with the paperwork. I never thought of making a copy of it(huge mistake).USCIS is saying that we did not provide information for living together for the period of 08/2009 to 04/2011.

Another issue is our tax returns. We did file jointly and married, however the address we used is my mother-in-law's. It is the address my husband has been using before he met me, and we never changed it(we do taxes with the same person every year). USCIS concluded that we lived on this address and we never provided information about it.

USCIS also wants bank statements for the period of 2009-2011. I already went to the bank and ordered copies of our statements from 2009 to present.They said it will take a week(both banks).

My questions are:1) Do you think if we have our previous landlord(his uncle) write a letter saying that we rented for the period of 06/2009-04/2011 would be enough evidence?,2) Taxes- would writing a note in the package we are going to send explaining why we use my in-laws address be fine?

We do not have any life insurance together. We do have family care with the state at the local hospital though, would this be something I should include?

Also we just bought a car, which is on my name. My husband has a very bad credit. However, we are both included in the car insurance. My husband was added to my credit card account in 10/2012. I was not able to add him for 2 years,nor was he able to get one on his own due to his credit.This is why we never had joint credit card account.

I apologize for the long post. I do appreciate your time reading, and hopefully some of you who already went through RFE can give us some advice and help on how we should handle our RFE and what evidence would be appropriate to send.

Thank you for the response bigdog!We do not have many of the things you sent. Right now we are gathering all our bank statements for both accounts from 2009-present. We asked several people to write affidavits, and we asked our previous landlord to write a letter explaining that we did rent with him for 22 months. I do keep some of our rent receipts from 2009 and 2010, so I will be including this as well.
