What I heard, USCIS usually list all the documents that they are requesting and you need to send to to USCIS.

Then explain in writing If you dont have the documents that they requesting.

 

Okay. Thanks!

Hi VJ Friends,

 

So i received my RFE letter (I am a divorce waiver)

 

Good Faith marriage insufficient evidence

 

You provided the following evidence that the marriage was entered in good faith:

 

-Weider Rental Agreement

-Irs 1040EZ tax returns for 2015

-Service Credit Union statement for a joint account for November 2016 to December 2016

-Tricare Coverage letter stating joint coverage from April 15, 2015 to March 15, 2017

-Verizon joint cell phone bill undated

 

However, the evidence submitted is insufficient because the Weidner Rental Agreement does not list the names of the party that is renting the location. In addition, joint federal and State tax returns for 2016, financial records showing joint ownership of assets and joint responsibility for liabilities, joint installment or loans and additional evidence showing further transactions from the Service Credit Union were not submitted.

 

Please submit additional evidence to show you and your former spouse entered the marriage in good faith and shared a life together until your legal separation or the termination of your marriage. The evidence you and your spouse have resided together and shared responsibility for a common residence such as :

 

- leases in both names showing joint occupancy

- deeds and mortgages in both names showing joint ownership

- copies of your and your petitioning spouse's driver licenses

 

Evidence you and your spouse have combined financial resources or joint ownership of assets and responsibility for liabilities as:

 

- checking savings or investment account statements showing the transaction pages

- property, life or health insurance documents

- federal state tax returns including relevant schedules and attachments such as W2 records

- utility bills

- loan or credit card account statement

 

.... Any other relevant documents not already mentioned.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Actually what super weird is... I actually sent way more what they mention above. I did send them all the bank statements starting October 1015 till April 2017.

Also a letter from the bank stating that I have a joint bank account with my husband. I had also affidavits, greeting cards from family sent to our address, Our military card including both names, Vet invoices with both our name on it and our address, and way more...

 

So I guess, I will start again from scratch...

 

- I asked the bank again to get all our statements during our marriage. The bank did sent the statements and also a letter stating i was an account holder on my ex-husband's account.

- Requested all the tax transcripts -> IRS (still waiting to get them)

- I still have my old State ID showing our old mailing address, my ex-husband moved, so he hasn't one showing our mailing address

- I requested my medical history from Base in Anchorage, AK (I know he is mentioned in those) still waiting to get them (not sure if that helps)

- In the past, my ex-husband bought a car for me, because i had no credit score at that moment (I guess, I will write a statement)

- My ex-husband wrote a letter stating that I was living with him in our apartment from ... to .... I was unable to sign legally the contract because I was on a Esta Visa. I had to go back to Germany to finish our Visa application. (he was stationed in Alaska)

- I wrote Verizon a letter. I asked them to send me a letter that i was an account holder on my ex-husbands account. (didn't get an answer yet) Tried also via, but they don´t give me any information, because we are divorced.

- I will send them again the military card with both our names on it

- Amazon Orders showing shipped to us with both our names on it, and other order from other websites

- Vet invoices of our pets

- My work contract showing my ex-husband, mother in law, father in law as references

- Pictures of us, with family and friends

- Trying to get old flight invoices (asked Delta if they can send it) I don't have access to my old email address, Hotel invoices, ...

- Affidavits

- Health insurance (joint)

 

If you have any other suggestions, please let me know!!!!!

what kind of additional evidence they have requested? if you dont mind sharing the list

i just replied back.

[wildcrdj 12]

We got a similarly vaguely-worded RFE (it didn't list any specific documents they wanted, but had the "Please submit additional evidence to show you and your former spouse entered the marriage in good faith" section the same).

 

In our RFE response we sent:

* Updated residential lease

* Both of our wills (didn't send / have first time)

* Electric bill with both our names (had to call and argue with electric company to get my wife's name added, as the service predated our marriage. They don't normally do that, but I explained that we needed it for USCIS and they eventually agreed)

* Updated 401k statement with my wife as beneficiary

* 2016 and 2017 tax forms / statements

* Health insurance cards

* Credit card statement with both our names

* Notarized affidavit from my parents

* My wife's family registry (koseki) from Japan

* Photos from our life/trips since the i-751 filing

 

In our original i-751 we had sent:

* i-751 form, passport copies, etc

* Proof of residence (various statements / letters addressed to us)

* 2014 and 2015 tax statements (jointly filed)

* Health insurance coverage information (cards and 1095-C)

* 401k statements/beneficiary

* Adoption records for a cat we adopted together

* Credit card and bank statements with joint accounts

* Trip receipts from joint vacations

* Photos of life/trips together since marriage

 

We just got the "card being produced" email today, so I assume that means it worked...

Don’t worry, you will receive soon combinated I751-N400 interview. I don’t think think your file is yet at local office. I also got notice on February 26 file transferred but it’s still in Cali

Is there any source we can check? I have almost the same timeline with you guys, but I am not sure if we will receive the interview letter this year.
