Did I Read my RFE right?

[monytchi 3]

My RFE arrived in the mail today, and it only says "SIGN THE PETITION"--so I guess I sent a photocopy of the signature page and not my actual signature...it's easy enough to fix. 

 

However, that's the only thing it seems to be requesting. My husband (beneficiary) sent me photos of his completed I-130A, but the RFE doesn't ask for original beneficiary's signature. Since I have my original, should I send it in early to avoid delays? Include any additional evidence? 

 

Any advice appreciated! I know I got an easy RFE but it's still stressing me out

 I’m pretty sure that you have to send the original copies of both the I-130 and I-130A

I’m really sure that you have to send the original copies of both the I-130 and I-130A .

I don’t think it’s advisable to send additional documents or evidence other than what was requested on your RFE letter. Send only what was asked for, as soon as you can.

I've heard that I only get one chance to respond to an RFE--would they tack on additional RFEs if they only caught my signature? :/ Are multiple RFEs even a thing? Kinda doubting myself.

The beneficiary doesn’t have to sign the i130a if not in the US. 

From what I know USCIS combines RFEs and I would think that the rest of your package was just fine if they didn’t ask for anything else.

For them to have sent you RFE specififying what they want, they must have gone through your file and ascertain the reason for which RFE was issued. So send what they asked for.

Generally they try to put all the issues into 1 RFE, but it is possible to get multiple RFEs (or even 3). That said, after 1 RFE, if they are not satisfied with the response, they are fairly likely to just deny the petition.
