RFE and travel

[Grux 0]

We just received the dreaded RFE. I have a 1 week trip booked to Canada next week and I'm wondering if I'm ok to travel. I plan on sending in the additional information when I get back. Thanks!

Does it say the RFE how many days you have to submit the new evidence? I think usually they give you about 90 days to submit it. Obviously the sooner the better. As long as you dont stay in Canada longer than the time given to send the new evidence then you should be fine. You can always call uscis if you have any doubt.

Can you send the new evidence before your trip?

PS. What was the RFE for? AOS? K1 visa? Please fill out your timeline when you can.

Ya they gave us 90 days to submit it. The RFE was for removal of conditions. Was smooth sailing up until this point. I want to get signed affidavits when I'm home to submit with everything else. I think I will call just to make sure..although I'm pretty sure I'm fine too.

Has anyone else had any first hand experience with this? The office is open until Monday and I'm wondering if I should cancel the flight or not. I came in on a k1 visa.

I called USCIS today and asked them about traveling abroad with an RFE pending. They said an RFE does not have any affect on your travel or work as long as your have your 1 year extension letter and your expired visa when coming back into the country.
