I don't think you have anything to worry about. Just provide what you can from that list in an organized fashion and return it before the due date. Pictures really are just supporting evidence. We

At this point, they are asking for proof, so sending in as much as you can is your best option. Birth Certificate is a good start to show you have had a relationship, but the requirement is within 2

There still are 40% of the people from November that are waiting for NOA2 which means that Vermont is not at 4 months. Now with Vermont shipping out applications to other offices, things might change.

Did you send in any relationship evidence? What was it? I can understand an RFE is you sent no evidence at all, it's a easier for Canadians to slip through without primary evidence.

2011-05-21: Matched on eharmony (clearly not in my 60 mile radius preference!)

2011-07-30: Met in Ottawa

2011-08-28: Day I knew I wanted to spend my life with her

2012-01-21: I proposed, outside in the freezing cold!

2012-02-06: Mailed out K-1 via FedEX

2012-02-10: NOA1

2012-08-01: NOA2

2012-08-17: Packet 3 received (email)

2012-09-10: Packet 3 sent

2012-09-12: Packet 4 received (email) with request for 2 photos

2012-10-29: Medical in Toronto

2012-11-06: Interview - Approved!

2013-04-05: POE Thousand Islands

2013-04-20: Wedding

What exactly does your RFE say? Is it asking for proof of relationship or proof that you have met face-to-face within the 2 years prior to filing?

Please answer this question. (!)

Generally they don't ask for "proof of relationship." They ask for proof of meeting in the last 2 years. They are NOT the same thing.

From what they suggested sending as evidence (passport, itineraries) it looks to me like they are asking for proof of meeting. If you send proof of relationship when they are not asking for it you will be denied.

AOS for my husband
8/17/10: INTERVIEW DAY (day 123) APPROVED!!

It depends whether it is an RFE for either 1. proving your relationship together, or 2. proving that you have met in person in the last two years. If its number 1, pictures, birth certificates as you stated and any letters, emails or calls. However if its 2. and you haven't seen each other in the last two years then you have a problem as this is a main requirement. Good luck with your process smile.png

The wording is proving you have met during the last two years preceding the application.

Then they are not wanting proof of your relationship. They want proof you met face-to-face within the 2 years prior to filing, which is one of the main requirements for the I-129F. Primary evidence for this is passport stamps, boarding passes, hotel receipts, ATM receipts, bank and/or credit card statements showing purchases in the other country during the time you claim to have been together. Photos from those visits are only secondary evidence and go along with the primary evidence.

I have replied to my RFE on June 16. On Jun 18 Status changed, but since then no answer. Should I be worried or start contacting my congressman?
