Hi! I think I dont understand what you’re saying. Request for evidence is short fo RFE. Im sorry please make me understand better with what you mean

For initial rfe, they check to see if you meet all requirements by submitting the required evidence, if not, they ask you for it immediately after they review your file for the first time for completeness. In  about 15 -16months, when they open the case to make a decision, for example, when an officer is not satisfied with your proof of bonafide marriage evidence on file, then he or she sends out requests for additional evidence to prove bonafide marriage before a decision can be made, it is also called rfe but they specify the  word "additional" meaning what you submitted was not enough, in this case, you will have to respond with new documents that you did not submit before.

After USCIS received your package, they can request you more evidences for example birth certificate, devorce certificate if you didn't submitted with the package. It is request for intitial evidences. But after USCIS has reviewed your case and they ask you to submit more evidences like moral character, residence... It is REF. 

It is my understanding after filling my vawa. 

Pls ask more Sandra if you need something better for your case.

Hi Everyone! After 8 months of approved I-360 (March 2018), my kids and I finally received a letter for AOS interview!!! Thank God! 😀 I'm excited and nervous at the same time... nervous because I don't know much of what to expect in the interview. As I have read, is it really just formality with questions asked based on the I-485 application? how should I prepare for the interview? I hope you could give me an advise on the preparation because I have decided to just attend the interview with my two minor kids and opted out the offered services of a lawyer due to budget concerns. The interview is just a week away and I have been doing my research and prepare myself for the interview. I would gladly appreciate your input and advise. I would post on an update as well after we go through the interview and share our experience. Good luck to all of us and thanks in advance. 😊

- Make sure to have an updated medical for you and your children (less than 1 year ago). 

- Go through the I-485 form that was filed and make a sheet of all changes that have occured since filing (I.e. updated addresses, employment history, marital status, etc.). 

- Answer the IO’s questions briefly, don’t say things you aren’t being asked. Stay short and precise in your answers.

- Tell the truth as you are under oath. 

- Bring originals for all copies that you submitted to USCIS (I.e. marriage certificate, divorce decree, your birth certificate, etc.)

- Bring a valid ID (passport or driver’s license, birth certificate for kids I assume)

- I suggest to bring all original notices and documents that USCIS has ever sent to you. 

 

The IO will go through form I-485 with you and also ask the yes/no questions. Respond truthfully always but be short. Don’t interrupt the IO. If you would like to hand them a document or say something, ask for permission.

Uscis will not issue RFE(new cases) anymore asking documents such as police clearance ,copy of birth certificate,copy of marriage certificate etc, if the person failed to submit mandatory documents USCIS will deny the case without issuing RFE.  USCIS will continue issuing RFE if they need more evidences of abuse /bonafide marriage.

Haven't you received Courtesy letter to request a new medical record (I-693) for interview from USCIS? I am waiting for interview schedule as well, but i received from USCIS Courtesy letter with their clear indication for preparing I-693. 

Pray for you and your kids to get AOS approval soon.

  I need your help with I912, fee waiver request if any one would like to guild me . 

 I applied 765 (c09) for my children and my self , also my children's 485,sent them with my I-360, i-485 ,I-765(c31) receipts a month ago. But I got rejection of it yesterday. 

it said my I-912 were denied .

   I did applied I912 with my I360, I485 before and it was approved and my VAWA 360 , and i485, I765 (c31) were got fee waived . I thought it would be works with this I-765(c09), So , I did not summit i912 again. 

   

My questions are :

  1. What they need from me on this G-1054? I can not read 2b what they said . sorry about my pool english that can not read the curl hand written.  

2. Do I need to file new forms( I-765, I-485)?  with I-912? Or I need  send the forms uscis returned  to me ? it was marked on "DENIED" , and received stamp. 

3. Do I ask Uscis close my I765(c31 ) or just leave it open when I reapply new I765 (C09)?

 

 Thanks so much for your time. 

  wish good luck to all of you. May God bless you.

I haven't received any courtesy letter for new I-693. Should I still bring one just to make sure?

Yes. Make sure that you need to bring new medical to interview appoiment. Donot forget it, because it can delay your AOS approval.
