I was just e-notified I will be receiving an RFE.

[JFox762 18]

I was under the impression you only needed EITHER your passport OR birth cert. Not both.

I didnt have the long form...so i just decided to send both my short form AND passport

[Transborderwife 4,666]

Did you submit every page of your passport? You might be right.

[JFox762 18]

Yes... even the cover and back side.

[Transborderwife 4,666]

Well all that you can do is wait. No use playing the guessing game it'll likely make anxiety about it worse.

[Amhara 460]

Any previous marriages by either of you? Did you use the most current forms? Did she sign that biographical form G-something of other?

[Loki_Go 126]

I was asked for my long form birth certificate in my AOS interview so that may very well be it.

I am absolutely devastated by this. I thought i sent everything they needed. I sent all the evidence i could. Is there a way to find out why I am getting an RFE before i get the official letter?

As others mentioned RFE could be for many reasons. I received RFE to provide more in person meeting proofs. RFE is not a big deal just fulfill the requirement and it will get approved.

[JFox762 18]

I provided a few photos, copies of boarding pass and itinerary, some screenshots of IM/Text conversations and some phone call records

Guessing will get you no where except for stressed

If you have made copies of the entire packet, I will just check both I-129f and G325A for any mistakes or missing info. If it is all good and you are sure they were signed and dated...then there is nothing to worry about.

my RFE came in an email before the letter. Did you give them a good email ID and check there? i had forgot to sign my middle initial in signature as was on my passport and driver's license.

Popping in real quick here. I stressed about finding out we got an RFE on March 9, 2016 for at least 3 to 4 days. I was beating myself about everything, did I forget something? More evidence? "Oh my god, I did send in 12+ pages of evidence?!" etc etc. No stress. It's actually a really good thing kinda. They're working on your case. We got approved after 2,5 weeks afters sending the response and the only thing the additional evidence was requested for is a copy of my biographical data page from my passport and we forgot to checkbox at question 33. No stress, you probabally will be all fine and it might be an easy fix. Thumbs up!

Two of the most common reason for RFE are forgetting to include the signed letter of intent to marry and if you met on a dating site or social media you need to prove it's not an IMB.

RFE's come in all shapes and sizes and for things as little as forgetting to check a box, etc.

But no, you can't find out what it's for until you receive the letter.

I have never heard of this before. We received an RFE for our AOS, and it was not available in email form. We did receive an email and text when the case status was updated to RFE, but we had to wait for the hard copy.

Oh, that would be so nice and so efficient on the Part of USCIS if they do that and send email or text message telling the petitioner what is the RFE for...Would be so cool!
