Happy birthday Blueberry Pancake :dancing:.

I got the RFE mail today and It is had to do with My first name not on our marriage certificate. I used Only my middle name. I have used the same certificate for the past 11 years without any issue.

I feel so stupid. Anyway we have to apply for the first one to be withdrawn and another one with the full names produced.

Please I need help on the proper way to reply to the RFE. Do I need to send the whole petition again or do I just mail the marriage certificate?

Is there a need for a cover letter showing the content of the envelop? I just want to be sure it is perfect this time.

Many thanks to everyone for all your help so far.

I don't know what this process would have been like without this forum.

Well its just a crazy process, in my humble opinion. Way too much red tape, way too much nonsense, and its because of all that red tape and nonsense that we all have to wait 704 years just to get some

No, you don't need to submit the entire petitions again, just what they asked for in the RFE. I believe the blue paper (the actual RFE) needs to be attached. Since it's just one item they are interested in, I doubt a cover letter is necessary. Did you get married in the US, Nigeria or a third country? Hopefully where ever you got married won't give you any hassle. Best of luck to you!

Yup! The blue paper that comes attached to the RFE has to be sent back with any evidence you send back.
