One last quick question...

[metsphan23 2]

On the letter that says we need to provide more evidence, it says once received, please allow USCIS 2 weeks to be in receipt of the package. Does that mean after it gets delivered I have to add an additional 2 weeks before USCIS declares they have received it?

[TBoneTX 45,303]

They might reply sooner. It's just like a business that promises shipment of your order in "7 to 10 business days," but you get your shipment before then.

[metsphan23 2]

So I guess 2 weeks would be the max?

[Cheezees 1,514]

Or not. Expect something around 2 weeks. Don't be surprised if it takes longer although for most it is sooner than 2 weeks.

Oh no. Don't ever be fooled into believing there is a MAX to anything in this journey. But as I understand it they receive truckloads of mail daily and it takes some time to sort it all and check it all in. Makes sense. But too bad they couldn't hire a few more people in the mail room, huh? God Bless

They are only asking you allow 2 weeks for them to receive it. Most people send it overnight with tracking numbers and end up calling the day the carrier delivers it. Nothing they do is predictable. I would give them at least a month after its received. Your package isn't anymore special than the thousands of other packages they receive daily. Be thankful you were able to respond to your rfe. Good luck

I'm a bit confused by this response. Be thankful I'm able to respond? The thing that's confusing is that they waited 8 months to send the RFE and now it's rush rush rush by August 14th.

Don't worry about it.

It can take a few weeks for the USCIS to route your RFE to the desk of the adjudicator and for them to look at it. They mean don't expect a response for at least 2 weeks after you know they've received the RFE.

.....is that a decent draft to have dated, signed, and notarized on monday?

[TBoneTX 45,303]

It should do. See a notary who has a signature/notarization form to attach to the letter.

[metsphan23 2]

also, im printing our cell phone statements from the last year, which shows my wife is on my account. to go back further then a year, we need to contact customer service, etc, but we are sending the packet in another day or two...i guess a year a most recent cell phone statements should be ok?

[metsphan23 2]

Bump...

[metsphan23 2]

Double bump...

Are you only including the affidavit and the phone statements or were you planning to add on more documents? For the phone statements, you can go back to immediately after you filed your AOS (assuming you were on the same account then), you don't need to print every statement every month, I would only print one every 3-4 months and include the most recent one. That's what I did with our bank statements and it was fine.
