Do all RFE's start with a little paragraph saying Dear So and So you're trying to petition for your alien fiancee. "Additional evidence is required to establish the qualifying relationship".... and THEN they tell you what you did wrong?

OR

is this asking that you submit more evidence of the relationship and then also what they said you did wrong?

Also, the only thing I thought would be RFE worthy wasn't mentioned. Although I didn't do anything wrong (including the RFE they're mentioning cuz I did fill out that part) should I pack the RFE with more evidence they didn't request to make sure I don't get a second RFE?

Thanks

You can cover both bases simultaneously.

Receiving an RFE is a golden opportunity to add additional "evidence of bona fide relationship" to one's file.

Respond to the specifically stated RFE requirement, then create a cover-sheet that says (in big letters) ADDITIONAL PROOF OF BONA FIDE RELATIONSHIP -- PLEASE PASS TO EMBASSY. Include what you would want a skeptical stranger (the consular officer) to see in your file. Select judiciously and don't overload it. Put the RFE stuff on top with the additional material underneath, and send it in.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).
