I have just gotten an email about receiving an RFE after waiting for so long. Please can people who received an RFE tell me what was sent initially, what they needed from you, what you sent back to them and if you’ve been approved? Also, does the RFE letter explicitly state what it is required of you? Thank you!

Hi, Wife and I got an RFE and were later approved.

What they'll be asking for will entirely depend upon what evidence you sent them and what they felt was lacking. In our case it was not enough Bank statements, Health Insurance coverage information, and a couple other things. The letter will likely tell you everything they have from you that you sent in, why it wasn't enough to prove whatever they feel needs to still be proven, and then offer a list of suggestions for documents you can send in to satisfy them.

 

For us we sent the RFE back a month later, were waiting for some credit card documents that never came in, and then heard back a month after that that we were indeed approved. Our case was at the Potomac Center, but each center's times vary, so unless yours is also there, the time frame won't really help. I hope the rest of this was useful though.

Thank you so much for your response. It is useful. Okay, I’ll anxiously wait to see what is required. Mine is with CSC and Congratulations on your approval.

Congrats. I received mine on the 10th as well. The tracking # originally was shown an estimate delivery on the 12th but surprisedly it was in the mailbox literally next day. Good luck to those who are still waiting! Potomac finally had stared moving. I waited over 3 months from the transfer till I heard something from them, and it was finally approved about 1 month after I re did my bio.

Print all 12 as the pages will be marked 1/12, 2/12 and so on and we don’t want missing pages. Same thing with insurance documents, there were 30 pages of home owners insurance documents with our names in like 5 pages but I included the whole 30 pages. The packet was about 500 pages thick. Sorry the format is all wonky, please feel free to let me know if u have any questions.

Finally after forever my case has movement! Just a few minutes ago I got a text message about action being taken. Looked on old website (through the app) and it now says it was transferred and new office has jurisdiction. Maybe because I also filed for N-400 already? Will give update here when I get the letter. In the meantime can some share their experience with the same or similar scenario please? Really glad to finally see something happen. Lol. Thanks!🙂

 

**Just checked new website and status still stuck on “Case was received” since June2018

 

**Case number WAC18198XXXXX
