we still live together 

Living together doesn't mean a couple is living in marital union.

Not the norm, but also not very rare for a separated couple to live under the same roof, at least temporarily.

 

Best of luck gathering your evidence in response to the RFE.

im just not sure what i can send besides utility bills and a state id card 

You can't send what doesn't exist.

However you MUST respond to the RFE, even if you don't have/can't provide the documents they want.

CR1 / DCF (London): 2012 / 2013 (4 months from I-130 petition to visa in hand)

I-751 #1- April 2015 [Denied]

 

April 2015 : I-751 Joint filing package sent fedex next day 09:00am from UK ($lots - thanks). 
Jan 2017: Notification that an interview has been scheduled at a local office. Bizarrely still no RFE... 
Jan 2017: 2hr wait, then interview terminated before it began, due to moving my ID to another state 2 wks prior. New interview 'in a few months...maybe.'   Informed them that divorce proceedings are underway, but not finalised at this time. 
March 2017: An Interview was scheduled - marked as no-show as they didn't actually send out a notification of interview. FML 
April  2017: Filed an official complaint with the ombudsman, and have requested Senator & Congressman assistance
August 2017: Interview - switched to a (finalised) divorce waiver. Told that decision will be made that afternoon, but no problems foreseen with my case. 
October 2017: Letter of Denial received - reason given as 'I-751 petition was not properly filed'. Discovered ex-spouse made false allegations to USCIS in 2015. No opportunity given to review & refute allegations  - contrary to USCIS policy.

I-751 #2 - Oct 2017 - Mar 2021[Denied] 

 

October 2017: Within 72hrs of receiving denial notice, a new waiver I-751, divorce decree & $680 cheque, sent to Vermont via FedEx overnight 9am priority.  
Dec 2019: Filed FOIA request for full A# file
Feb 2020: FOIA request completed - entire A# file received as a .PDF; 197 pages fully redacted, and 80 partially redacted. Don't waste your time!
March 2021: I-751 #2 denied for lack of evidence. No RFE, no interview, and evidence in previous I-751 not reviewed - contrary to policy. Huge errors in adjudication.

N-400 - Feb 2018 - Apr 2021 [Denied]

 

February 2018: N-400 filed online.  $725 paid to the USCIS paperwork wastage fund

February  2019: Interview - cancelled after a four hour wait due to 'missing paperwork' on their end. Promised Expedited reschedule.

March 2021: Interview letter received, strangely dated after I-751 denial. No I-751 interview conducted. N-400 interview and test passed, given 'cannot make a decision at this time' paper due to the ongoing I-751 nightmare...

April 2021: N-400 denial received citing recent I-751 denial as basis for ineligibility, even though it should have been a combo interview 🤯

I AM JACK'S COMPLETE LACK OF SURPRISE

Service Motion - March 2021 [Sent via FedEx & COMPLETELY IGNORED by USCIS]

 

March 2021: Service Motion request sent overnight addressed direectly to field office director, requesting urgent review and re-opening, based on errors in adjudication - citing USCIS policy, AFM and memorandums as basis for errors. This was completely ignored by USCIS.

 I-751 #3 - June 2021 - Jan 2024 [Denied]

 

IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY

June 2021: I-751 #3 (30+lbs/5000 pages of paperwork) & another $680 sent to USCIS via FedEx ($300+..thanks) .... 

June 2021: Receipt issued, card charged, biometrics waived, infopass scheduled for I-551 stamp number ten.....

Feb 2022: RFIE (no, not an RFE, a Request For Initial Evidence) received, for copies of the divorce paperwork that they already have 😑

July 2022: Infopass for I-551 stamp number eleven.....

August 2023: Infopass for I-551 stamp number twelve....

January 2024: Denial received, ignoring the overwhelming majority of the filing, abundance of evidence, and refutation of a provably false allegation. The denial also contradicts itself in multiple places, as if it was written by someone with an IQ <50.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

2024: FML. Seriously. I'm done.

I once dated a woman who's ex lived in the basement. That was a little weird, especially since he answered the door on our first date. 😮 She claimed he wanted to live near his kids, but that seemed a little too close.

You just didnt send enough proof. I got the same RFE. As the OP stated just send more evidence from the ones listed on the letter.

 

Did you guys have  join bank accounts ( send copies of bank statements from the period you file  until now.. Even is those accounts are now closed, you can still go to your bank and request those bank statement)

join Lease agreements 

Car Insurance policies

Most recent tax joint tax returns

 

 

My mistake was, that I did not send enough evidence to begin with. When I got my RFE, I sent  all docs I could possibly send,

Mortgage deed

Home insurance policy

Bank Statements 2015-2018

Credit Card Statements showing each other as auth users

401k Showing him as Beneficiary

Life insurance policy

Birth Cert for our son

School records showing him as the guardian for my two daugthers

Medical records showing him as the emergency contact all three children

Medical Insurance policy and cards

AAA membership renewal letter showing both of our names

And two affidavits. 

 

I even sent an email conversations I had, one with my attorney, family member and my old landlord.

Photos are secondary evidence. You will need more than photos.


They want paper proof, like bank account statements, insurance, vacation receipts, letters from family or friends attesting to your prior relationship. Photos are on the low end of what they consider.

Do you have access to ANYTHING from when you were on the same financial stuff together?

If so, Send that, file the divorce waiver, and send anything else you can to prove that your marriage was bonafide. You can write a statement saying you don't have X, Y or Z and that this is all you could get due to the marriage failing.

Photos only capture a moment and time of your relationship, you will need more than that, And it’s normally used as secondary evidence.

If you are really concidering divorce, you really should send the additional evidence with the divorce waiver. I believe being transparent it’s always better.

1.  Photos show that you two know each other, not that you had a bonafide marriage.

2.  The RFE is not asking for photos---it provided a very specific list of evidence they will consider.  Send what (you have) they are asking for.
