Send a Cover Letter with RFE?

[llaz 232]

I received our RFE in the mail on Saturday, which is stating that they need the actual "divorce decree" for my fiancee and not the signed document from the judge. What I am wondering is besides the blue paper, decree, translated document and certification from the translator should I add in as well a cover letter of sorts? The only reason why I worry is because in Chile there is no such thing as a "divorce decree" there is only a "marriage certificate" with a blurb at the bottom that states the divorce date and it worries me that maybe they will see the name of the certificate and not read the entire thing.

In this instance, it's probably best to make it crystal-clear what they need to look for.  Compose a brief cover letter, and perhaps even put a yellow sticky-note on the decree, with a big arrow pointing to the appropriate verbiage.

 

Edited to add:  Remember that receiving an RFE is a golden opportunity to add more "evidence of bona fide relationship."  If you've accumulated any since you sent the petition, consider including it now -- placed behind the RFE materials, with a separator/cover page that says something like "USCIS -- please send this additional evidence to the consulate upon petition approval" in big letters.

Perfect, thank you for your suggestions!

So I went to Chile in January 2017 and we sent the petition in November 2016, and I will be going back May 2017, would you then recommend that I send my plane tickets for my January trip and my itinerary for my May trip? We also got engagement photos done in Chile in January should I send those as well?
