approved after RFE

[EmelieSwe 0]

Long story short, in January we received an RFE due to not submitting enough evidence of us living together.

During 3 weeks we gathered absolutely everything we had (old rental contracts, online order history showing shipment to same apartment, bills, bank statement, affidavit, pictures, flight ticket, hotel booking.. yeah you name it, EVERYTHING).

The package arrived at the USCIS office in California on Monday Feb 10 and today there was an update online saying that the new card have been ordered. (Way to go USCIS, that was fast!!).

I couldn't be happier not to have to deal with immigration worries anymore and to just enjoy life as husband and wife. For all of those who are about to file for ROC, I have an advise.. DO NOT DO what we did (send in a super thin file out of pure laziness hoping that it will be enough). Do it right from the beginning, you have such a long time to prepare to file your papers so start it up on time. Cause once you get that RFE, it is super stressful. Save yourself some sleepless nights and send in enough evidence from the start!

Congrats on your approval

When did you file for ROC? timeline would be super helpful. And if you can tell us what you sent and what did RFE ask for?

Thanks

Congrats on your approval! Glad to know that yours went through fast after your RFE response Not all are that lucky - mine took well over 2 months and not without some pushing on my end LOL

I do agree, do it right to begin with, there is no such thing as sending too much - some people might get away with it and maybe because it is due to strong evidences (whatever that means now) they submitted or the adjudicator's mood (LOL). I personally followed the advice of those who got approved with not sending too much and I end up with an RFE as well. Every case is different and every adjudicator is different - what works for one person may not always work for another. I try not to discount people's experiences but I wouldn't advice NOT sending something - and "saving paper" is not a good excuse for not sending evidences LOL.
