The RFE Master List

[hazel mike 0]

Are all you guys received your Noa2 already after replying RFE to USCIS? How long really does it takes? Is it true after RFE Noa2 is next? coz ours is 26 days now since they rcvd our RFE reply still no Noa2.

I got mine APPROVED 8 days after I sent my RFE express mail. But I guess it depends who handle it there. Just got my NVC letter yesterday.

Hi-

I just got an email from CSC Center that I just got an RFE on my NOA2 for the I-129 Visa. I don't know why!! My fiance is Australian we meet while I was in grad school and have been together over a year. I sent in everything they needed, photos, airline tixs, emails, letters etc and still RFE. Its 12am on the west coast so I can't call to find out more. It this normal? do most people get a RFE, why do you think I have gotten one?

Thanks!

Hello,

when it comes to RFEs i don`t really think it matters the country your fiancee is from and u won`t find out much by calling; you`ll have to wait to receive it in the mail to see what`s missing from your petition.Don`t worry it might be just that you didn`t tick a box, who knows?

this has been tremendously helpful and has actually helped to alleviate some of my stress and worry regarding this process. I am especially grateful to share in everyone's experiences and to learn.

this whole site is amazing!!

Hi Guys-

Ok I got the RFE letter today and I am to submit another copy of my proof of citizenship (I submitted my birth certificate but I guess that wasn't good enough and more evidence that my fiancé and I met in person in the last two years, even though I submitted tons of info.

For the proof of evidence what I submitted was emails, pictures, airline tixs etc. I did not submit the pages in our passport of the stamps that showed our visited to match the airline tickets. They also want date stamp photos as well, which I do have THANK GOD!

In the letter it states that this DOES NOT constitute of evidence of meeting: disc, video, emails, letters, phone bills and greeting cards.

So my question back to them is on their instruction form they never say specific what does or does not consist of evidence of meeting so why are they calling it out now! Lesson learned make sure you include passport pages and anything officially with the dates that you have been together.

Also they want full copies of both mine and my fiancé passports.

I have all the info they need so am working to get it all together and send back to them.

Any advice anyone can give would be great and I will keep you posted as I move along

Hi Jazzkat,

try looking for receipts from any purchases you made while visiting each other and i don`t know what u mean by airline tickets (intineraries or boarding passes) but if u sent intineraries send in boarding passes if u have them.

Also read the guides again , they explain the difference between primary( boarding passes, receipts, passport stamps) and secondary evidence (photos, emails,call logs, chat logs, letters etc).

Wish you good luck!

RFE means "request for evidence".

So I haven't yet sent in my I-129F application, and I've been combing through this thread making sure I don't make the same mistakes. Luckily I have saved a lot of my boarding passes and train tickets. We recently traveled to San Francisco together and stayed in a hostel. The hostel was in my name and he paid in his name. I just called the hostel and they have agreed to send me a confirmation/receipt via fax stating this information. Do you think this will count as proper evidence? I can back it up with airline receipts and bank statements as well, I just though something on an official document might help.

Also, did you guys just photocopy your pictures (in color) or did you print out originals for the application? If you're including original photos, what is the best way to display them in the packet?

I printed our pictures out on plain sheet of paper. I pasted the photo onto Microsoft Word and added a caption on the bottom. The caption included a short description of the photo, location, and date.

Good forum.

I will tell you my experience about RFE:

We got an RFE because in the 1st pak, not sent any evidence. USCIS asking for Our letters of intent, evidence about citizen status of my fiance and evidence about our relationship.

We sent on june 2 and now our case status says that it received. We are waiting for NOA2 but it based on some timeline, people who got a RFE, we expect it before june 30. We hope so.

Bye.

NATY.
