I need urgent help to response to the RFE for my I-485 processing.

 

USCIS wants me to prove that I did reside in my home country for at least 2 years after departure from USA in July 2008.

 

I visited USA on J1 visa for a month in July 2008. After returning to my home country I worked there for more than 6 years. I came to USA again on August 2014 on F1 visa.

 

How can I prove that I did reside in my country from July 2008 to Aug 2014?

 

I can do the following

1. Collect letters from my supervisors. They will write to USCIS confirming my full time employment in their project in my country. they will also mention that I did reside in my working place in Bangladesh during employment period.

 

2. Copy all pages of my passport. Passport has information on all of my international travel.

 

3. Request consulate of Bangladesh embassy in USA to write on my passport mentioning I did reside in my country for 6 years betSween July 2008 to Aug 2014. (I am not sure if they are allowed to write this in passport.)

 

4. Collect my bank statements during that period.

 

Please let me know which one will work best

All the above seem like good ideas except for the third suggestion.  I don't know how a consulate would prove your residency in the country but maybe someone else can chime in on this.  If you had a lease during that period, it wouldn't hurt to provide a copy.

Thanks. Actually I did reside in my office dorm and sometimes in my won home. So unable to provide any lease agreement. Besides this, in our country lease agreement does not matter in many cases. You can reside in someone's home based on verbal agreement. Also the utility bill is by the name of the home owner NOT by the name of rentor. Like, now I am in USA but every months utility bill is being sent by my name.

 

So, I shall go for options 1, 2 and 4.

I would probably also send a couple of photos if you have any that might be useful at showing you at certain places along the years.. for my K1 I sent screenshots of some of my instagram posts as they show dates.

Also I would probably also send the travel history to the US.. you can get it in the website where you get your i-94.. it shows your last 10 entries and exits to the states.. (similar to your passport idea, just easier  to read/interpret)

Phone bill/contract?

 

Live, love, laugh.. and try not to think too much about USCIS

Oh yes, I should attach I-94 and cell phone bill.

 

By the way, my I-94 does not show my travel in USA fro 6/10/2008 to 7/11/2008. How can I get that information.
