The RFE Master List

[Abigail.et.Nathan 3]

When sending in my 129F. I had to submit evidence for a previous divorce (10 years ago). I went to the courthouse and obtained a CERTIFIED COURT COPY of the divorce decree and sent that in with my package. HOWEVER, I still got a request for evidence because the CERTIFIED COPY did not state on it that it was the FINAL DIVORCE DECREE. I got a RFE asking me to provide evidence that the marriage had been terminated. I had to return to the courthouse and ask them to produce a CERTIFIED CERTIFICATE OF NO APPEALS which stated on it the the included divorce decree was therefore final.

Make sure that if you have to provide a divorce decree that it says that it is a FINAL DIVORCE DECREE, and if not then included a CERTIFICATE OF NO APPEALS which states that the divorce decree is final.

My case was approved by USCIS five days after they received this evidence.

We did, we submitted explanation and photos etc. Biographic, not sure as it's on my fiance's side but I'm assuming not.

This is the question I have too. I want to submit my passport stamps BUT not the rest of my passport. I can't find my passport at the moment so I can't send all the pages if I wanted. i have already copied the bio page, front cover, back cover and the pages with my Visa to Russia and my stamps entering the Ukraine. Will I get a RFE if I send just these?

Okay, now I'm worried. When I first sent my package, I included the separation agreement. I got the RFE notice on Monday, 09.23. Here's what happened in chronological order so there's no confusion.

I called the USCIS on Tuesday 09.24, and asked about the RFE. They told me to wait for the mail.

Wednesday, 09.25. I got the RFE in the mail.

Thursday, 09.26 I sent the divorce decree (the agreement with three pages that stated the marriage is dissolved with a stamp on every page) that the clerk assured me was what I needed. I bought two of them

Friday, 09.27 USPS delivered it to them.

Saturday, 09.28 I got the exact, same RFE I got on 09.25. Nothing different.

Monday morning 09.30 - I called them. They told me to send the other decree I bought to make sure.

Monday night 09.30 - I got a text and our petition was upgraded to "Request for Evidence Response Review

Once a timely response to the request for evidence is received by USCIS, we review the evidence or information you submitted. If you submitted the requested evidence, we continue with the adjudication of your application or petition in light of the new evidence."

Thursday, 10.03 - Our petition was upgraded to "Request for Evidence Response Review

Once a timely response to the request for evidence is received by USCIS, we review the evidence or information you submitted. If you submitted the requested evidence, we continue with the adjudication of your application or petition in light of the new evidence." again.

I'm not sure what to do from here. Are we okay or did I send the wrong decree are they really looking at it? I'll admit I'm beginning to worry a little more.

Never mind my question. I just found out we were approved.... :-)

I know I've read this information somewhere in VJ before, but I just couldn't find the information again. I just received an RFE yesterday. My question is that should I simply send back the RFE letter along with supporting evidence, or do I need to send back the full petition packet along with the additional information requested?

I pretty much forgot to answer one of the Yes or No questions on the I-129F form.

Only send back what they requested. So if this is I-129F form they asking for, sent just that, along with the rfe notification

[geff44 30]

I got an RFE for not completing the criminality question of the I-129f (page 3 part C question 2). I want to mail this RFE as soon as possible but I am not so clear how to answer it. It says to indicate a Yes or a No answer. It looks like I have to either place a check mark or an X mark on the provided space but I want to make sure I do it the right way. Or do I write NO on it? Has anyone been on the same situation before? Thanks in advance.

[SparklePony 238]

I wondered about that too... looking to see what others say.

It does seem silly that the instructions tell you to Check All That Apply, but then you receive an RFE because you didn't specify that it was a No.

Hello.. Everyone VJ... I would like if someone had some case like me... USCIS received our RFE September 5 2013 but to now later 5 weeks they no say nothing... OMG really it's a torture I was reading about similar case but RFE no take so long time... it can be bad .. if they take so long time... if someone lived same experience plz... let me know... THANKS .. my case is in VT from May 6 2013----

Regarding the gaps in job history, just put UNEMPLOYED and the dates between the job lines. So, he would have something like:

Job A - Date XXXX - Present

UNEMPLOYED - Date YYYY - Date XXXX

Job B - Date ZZZZ - Date YYYY

Hope this helps.

As for the unknown father, if he's unknown and it's on the birth certificate, I don't think that's a problem. I mean, it's not like you can invent your father, is it?
