The RFE Master List

Can someone please tell me if an RFE is sent to the petitioner as well as your attorney?

Thanks so much,

Mike&Gracey

Now my question earlier was: When we send in the evidence they need, do we send only what they are asking for or do we gather up the whole package again and resend the whole darn thing??! 129f

Cindy

Cindy, you send back only what they ask for, not the whole package.

You can start already by taking a look at your papers and see if you forgot to add something, anything, like a N/A.

I did this while waiting for the RFE and discovered a mistake.....still the RFE was for something else

When they ask for more evidence, are they looking for evidence of your relationship prior to the date of filing your petition, or can you send in recent proof of your ongoing relationship?

The proof they want with the I-129F is that you have met in person within the last two years. They don't want and they don't care about non-physical relationship proof at this stage (like emails, phone calls etc.). At the interview stage in your country, that is when they want the ongoing relationship proof.

what would you say is good non-physical evidence to provide? (in case we get an RFE). we've already filed, and sent pics and other proof.

Good proof to provide at this stage includes passport stamps showing you both were in the same country at the same time, boarding passes, copies of tickets and itineraries, and any paperwork with your name and address on it showing you both were in the same place at the same time (like credit card receipts showing purchases in his country, debit card receipts, hotel bills etc). And of course, photos. You can include written statements verifying the dates and places you were together.

do u think we will get an RFE? all we sent were photos, my itineraries, and a prescription receipt with my name on it, date (and his address) from when i bought medicine when i was there....

[ELW 5]

You included copies of your passport page with visa and arrival & departure dates right? You should be OK. If you are worried, search through all your paperwork at home (and ask him to do the same) and see if you can find other evidence, then copy it and keep ready just in case.

when i was in the US visiting him in the summer, i also bought a cell phone with a US number from T-Mobile. But I put my gf's address (who also lives in the US) on that cell phone bill. still good to include that cell phone bill?

also, does my us fiance need the long version of his brith cert? i think he only submitted a copy of the short form

do you have to submit original copies of your evidence (credit card statements)? or can you submit photcopies?

[ELW 5]

Photocopies are fine. Save all your originals!

Hi ELW,

Are you sure about this?? My Fiance and I were together last about 2 yrs and 6mos before we got the I-129 in. Is 6 mos. REALLY going to be that big of a hairy deal to them??

Thanks,

-Mal.

They do not care how long you have known your fiance. In fact some people who file have known each other only for a few months or less! The only thing they care about is if you have met IN PERSON within the last two years. Waivers for the requirement do exist but I have never heard a case so far where they have approved them. Therefore YES, you will have a problem if you didn't meet in person within the last two years. Please do NOT send in the I-129F application till you make another trip to see your fiance in person, and save all proof (like photos, itinerary, boarding pass, hotel receipts in his country etc). It does not even have to be a long trip, even a week is enough. If you file the application before you meet in person again, it will be refused!

I thought it was required now I just saw your Timeline, so you were approved even though you last met over two years ago? I guess there ARE exceptions. congrats! (The requirement is for approving the I-129F so I would think your Administrative Review at the Consulate level is for another reason.)

Hello Everyone!

We just received the RFE letter today at 4PM Las Vegas time (4days after Case Updated).

Whew! My fiance called me and we opened the letter together. We were so excited to see what was our RFE.

A good grief!!!

Here it is:

1. FORM G325 - Write NONE to questions and informations that don't apply to you. N/A is not an appropriate response. Don't leave any blank unanswered. (What the HECK??? This is the only reason for our 2-3 weeks delay. OMG!!!)

2. Translate in English all foreign documents to be submitted. (GOODNESS! All Submitted documents were in English language already. We called the uscis and clarify the second statement. No worries, just an additional info to be mindful with in case of any tagalog or foreign documents to be submitted.)

---------Nothing Follows------

Guys, you better watch out for this simple mistakes. Our case might help some filers here.

Have a nice day!!!
