REF FOR K1

[fedo 2]

I’m really curious about the uscis and the guidelines on the I-129F.

Initially with my application (1) i send my biography page of my passport and pages showing the stamps (entry and exit) . i went even further and translate them at a certified translator.

(2) Two letter to intend one for me and one for my fiancée

(3) I send a letter explain who we met

(4) I send the contact of the engagement party. (Did not bother to send pictures)

(5) My divorce certificate.

NOW I GOT AN RFE:

THE REASON IS………… they want proof we met in the past two years!!!!

MY RESPOND TO RFE WAS :

1. I send all my passport pages (cover to cover)

1. Send 50 pictures of the engagement party and other places we visited

1. Letters of witness people to our engagement.

1. 600 pages of whats up

THE QUESTION IS !!!WHY USCIS OFFICER not convinced of the initial evidence, my passport stamps even though that i only send my biographic and pages shows the stamps’

While others applicant got approved only with copy of the entry and exit stamps and................. there is not standers no guidelines, I wanna here your thoughts pls

It is my impression that many of these subtle differences are due to individual interpretations of their (USCIS) guidelines by the individual adjudicators. Due to the interviewing consulate that we knew could be difficult (Guangzhou, China), we "front-loaded" our petition, i.e., gave them more than ample information at the initial petition submission. Many folks are fortunate and are able to get by with the minimum. Our feeling was to give them what they want, in spades, and thereby hopefully avoid an RFE or extended AP. It has worked well for us thus far in our immigration journey...NO RFEs. As that your case will be completed at a MENA country, known for evidence and prolonged AP issues, it may behoove you to adopt the "give it to them in spades" attitude too. Check out the MENA Regional forum for information and suggestions about dealing with MENA embassy/consulates.

At least you know that someone is looking at your case.....

YMMV.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

600 pages of WhatsApp don't prove you have met in the 2 years prior of filling the petition, neither do photographs. They're both considered secondary evidence. If you can, provide copies of boarding passes of the trip you made to be with your fiance. I'm assuming you've only been together once in the previous 2 years?

When was your meeting? it has to be BEFORE the date of the application, it sounds like you will get a denial, and what you did was file and then meet??? that is not allowed, Meet FIRST and then file the applicaiton, no way to apeal this one. refile after you get your denial letter.

Copying all pages of the passport make it clear that those stamps actually belong to you, and are not taken from another passport.

it's not a denial it's RFE. AND WE MEET AND WE HAD AN OFFICIAL ENGAGEMENT PARTY. AND STAMPS TO PROFF THAT I WAS THERE TWO TIMES.

we been together for two years i visited Egypt three times. my mistake is not sending them the whole passport pages i only send my info pages plus two pages showing the egypt entery and leaving stamps. also note there is a lot of people that i know they did the same thing and did not get REF. THAT'S MY POINT

Goosh, I'm afraid of a RFE, I sent in pictures, passport stamps, and passport of my son's passport, although not all pages in either, and flight itinerary, but after reading this, I'm just frightened to death......

I sent all pages of my passport .Also I sent hotel reciepts from some places we visited and stayed in ,with both our names.Many other things pics ect...We had a RFE on our Religion asking if Our parents are aware that we are different Religions we laughed and said we are adults we don't need permission but of course our parents knew.Maybe call and see what exactly they want to prove you met in the last 2 years. Good Luck
