My co sponsor makes a lot more too. But we only submitted taxes 2012 so I guess that's the problem. Bank statements for assets, if your income is not enough, have to be for 12 months.

Well..anyways good luck to all filers.. I hope I don't get another RFE :)

Hey everyone! For people who have RFE were they sent before or after your biometrics appointment?

I've been wondering this too. I'm always convinced I have forgotten something.

Biometrics appointment tomorrow, need to leave at 4am. I picked up another copy of my marriage license last week as I'm changing my last name with my documents (Mr L and Ms T-G to Mrs T-L). I heard biometrics can cause problems with that if it's not your passport name.

Our story...

Met online in 2006. Visited in 2007 for three months, found out I was pregnant.

I didn't even think about that. I have my original marriage certificate. I am going to take that with me. My passport is still in my maiden name.

We only had two originals and I sent one with the I-485 and one with the I-130. My passport is my maiden name though. I've just heard people having problems before when their appointment letter and ID last names don't match. I'd hate to drive all that way for nothing!

I didn't send the original because it had said you can send copies of everything because they can ask for the original in the RFE. So I guess I will have to wait and see.

I know others just explained they are going by their married name. Bringing the marriage certificate will help for sure.

I had all copies originally. The night before I sent my package, I was reading through a guide on another website that recommended to send originals of marriage documents. Said some people had got RFE's for originals, even though USCIS says copies are acceptable. I just didn't want to take any chances. There is so much to include that there is little chance I haven't forgotten something, lol.

Completely biometrics on schedule this morning. We arrived at 7:30am, and were told check-in would begin at 8am. We were the second group to arrive, several more came soon after. It was very painful to my English habits that when the desk opened everyone rushed to be first. Ahh! I was sat closest and moved to the side to let the lady who got there before me go first.

Glad I'm not criminally inclined as they now have every part of my fingers on file :)

So rude of them!! I always get bothered by that kind of people too, not a place to start an argument for sure haha
