I noticed somebody asked a week or so ago if there was a list of all RFEs so people could look out for possible "boo-boos." So here we go! My RFE reason was; The forms we downloaded didn't tell us t

This is where this thread is going to confuse many. Getting an RFE for lack of evidence to prove you have met in the past two years almost always is due to a lack of primary evidence. Supplying more,

Does anyone know if you get an RFE do they usually send you ALL THE PROBLEMS THEY FOUND or is it one by one?

For example, lets say you have a passport photo that needs to be retaken so they send you an RFE. Then you send that in, then they send you an RFE for further evidence of relationship (for example). Is this how it goes?

Or would they both be included in A SINGLE RFE?

It's usually all on the one, but I have heard some people get a second one, not often though. We had two issues and they were both on the one RFE

OK so I am a victim of an RFE too. So please pay attention! :)

I mistakenly sent in my Divorce Petition instead of my Divorce Decree. So they sent me an RFE for the Divorce Decree. I totally overlooked that!!! Pay attention to your forms and be sure you are sending the correct version of it!

Hope this helps someone!

Cheers!

In my RFE notification they said that you should allow them 14 days to process your response. If it has been longer than that there has been no update on your status then I would give them a call.

ok so we received an RFE because they said my divorce final order wasn't enough information, they want the divorce certificate that has the final date of the divorce on it. Darn, thought we had covered everything... :bonk:

I just got the RFE letter from USCIS, as well, they asked me to submit tickets, copy of passports entry and exist stamps, photos must be handwritten of date and place, and Affidavit statements of two person. I wanted to ask you guys that SHOULD I SEND MORE than what they asked for? or just send in what they just request?

I had the same RFE requesting evidence...I sent in more than they requested to show my story... :yes:

If you have what they are requesting but more would help them understand your relationship then send in more.

Good luck, I am sure once you submit the evidence requested.....you will soon see your approval letter.
