Dear Proud Phinay,

I am so sorry to read about your RFE. Can you post the precise language of the RFE so that we can get a better sense of what the USCIS is requesting?

Be encouraged! We shall all get through this.

Asking about Children as a result of marriage.

We dont have kids yet no luck yet.

Medical records- we dont have it because we can't afford to have one.

Evidence that you and your spouse resided together-Were staying in our church since my husband is a Pastor of a small church.

The only bills we pay is internet bill. So we dont have lease.

My husband a has a life insurance im the beneficiary.

Hmmm,

Well, we know the problem. You changed address since the AOS, but the USCIS has very little evidence you are living together. I think this is the main issue.

You have no legal document about your new house? Can the church provide a lease? Perhaps the Bishop/Deacons(professionals) can write a notarized letter detailing your living circumstance?

Copies of joint bank account statement and our visa cards from Wells Fargo Bank - did you send statements for each month?

Copy of USCIS online change of address dated 7/30/2012 21:19 - ​did you send previous lease agreement? this time sublease letter or so

Any phone bills? Any membership? You have a car, what about insurance? What about tax return for 2010+ you can send 2012 now

Basically from strong documents you have send only bank statements, one year TAX, and title! Good luck, send them as many papers as u have!

Hi... Sorry to hear about RFE.. You should try sending copies of club membership cards if u have, copies of credit cards, if u have any loans together like car loan or personal loan u can send the loan agreement.. My husband and i live with my parents for now so we didnt have any lease agreement nor utility bills to send but we had all the other stuff i mentioned above and thankfully was approved recently.. So just try to send as much proof as u can..

Getting an RFE is a drag. I know it's easy to say, but don't let it get you down. Send whatever else you have, worst case scenario, you'll get an interview and it will of course be granted.

If it makes you feel any better (hopefully not worse!) I think the RFEs are often random and luck of the draw. You sent more complete evidence than we did, but we got no RFE. TANJ (There Ain't No Justice).

Best,

Add 3/4 Notorized statements from USC's bout your marriage and relationship. Your evidence seems light, ours was over 100 pages.

Sorry to hear about the RFE, Here are a couple of my thoughts on how you should respond.

1. Write cover letter that also shows a time line on your married life together especially indicating when and why you have moved. They may have gotten confused with the different addresses that you have had. Make sure this is easy to see like a bulleted list as i am not sure how much they may actually read on the cover letter.

2. Provide copies of your 2012 income tax

3. Provide Letter from Deacons/Elders on living arrangement in Church. (This should look like an official free lease agreement between the church and the two of you)

4. Additional photos since Oct of vacation, social events, etc.

5. Continued bank account information from Oct to now.

6. Any additional information that you can come up with.

Hang in there as i know this is discouraging........
