Just got a change of status and email online saying that there is a request for evidence for my daughters I-130 application. The notice was sent out today. My wife (the USC) will be calling to follow up tomorrow, but any idea what it could be? We submitted short form birth certificates with the package, so my first thought was that they want long form, but doesn't that happen at the NVC stage?

Mind is spinning!!!

I just looked at the I-130 instructions: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-130instr.pdf

Your first instinct is probably correct as the instructions ask specifically for the child’s birth certificate and a marriage certificate of the USC to the child's natural parent. If you submitted the short form birth certificate with no parentage on it there is no way to show this relationship.

Our (spouse/beneficiary) birth certificate’s are required at NVC but the kid’s BC are with the I-130.

Yeah, I just realized that both my daughters and my own birth certificate were short form with no parentage. I also don't think I included my wifes BC as well, as we had her US Passport. Do you think that might be an issue too?

If sent in quickly, does anyone know what the delay could be?

Ok, this is interesting...

Told my wife to call today to clarify what was going on. IO said the RFE was sent out yesterday but they would have another office call back to clarify things.

IO calls back an hour later and said she reviewed my wife and my daughters file and nothing is missing and they look to go.

What's the deal with that? Anyone ever had that happen?

Nothing surprises me anymore with this process.

I got a Notice of Intent to Deny because the office adjudicating our files wanted my (beneficiary) BC. Luckily I’d ordered a long form one as soon as I got home from being married. It still took them another 2 1/2 months to adjudicate it after that.

I’d get your long form BC ordered as soon as possible because it sounds like someone is at least looking at your files.

Good luck with the rest of your journey.

Already received my daughters and my own BC, which I ordered in anticipation of the NVC stage. Wife's (petitioner) ordered today, just in case.

I really don't get why there would be a mismatching of information right off the same system. Is there any chance that an IO reviewed it and deemed something missing, and then a more senior IO looked at it again and pushed it through? It just doesn't make sense.

Our file is very straightforward too. No divorces, no legal issues, etc.

Ahhhhh....stress.
