You're probably going to get an RFE. Start getting more paperwork.

Getting an RFE is just a guess, but I do agree with you that the OP should prepare for one just in case.

 

To the OP ( @Henry5555), good luck!

Just think of it this way:

As evidence, people send TONS of  -

- shared financials (joint bank account, credit cards ) which is CRUCIAL

- taxes filled together

- shared health insurance

- proofs of shared address

- shared loans (car loan, example)

- shared apartment lease or mortgage

- power of attorneys

- legal wills or/and testaments

- other shared financial burdens (phone bills, house bills with both names, gym memberships, etc etc)

- affidavits from families and/or friends

- photos

- plane tickets showing they went on trips together

 

And this is just what I thought of from the top of my head.

Versus what you send -

 

- Baby birth certificate (you can have a baby with everyone, don't have to be married for that even)

- Some document saying that you live together (you can live together without being a couple)

 

Alone those 2 evidences are very, very weak.

- quarterly statements from our joint checking and savings account  We don't have a joint credit card only a joint bank card for our checking account 

- 2017 and 2018 tax returns as well as our W2's for those years

- copy of life insurance showing us as each other's beneficiaries

- copy of our leasing contract showing both our names

- copy of our driver's licenses showing our address

- copy of our joint phone plan

- copy of our gym membership 

- affidavits from families and friends ( 4 total)

You need to add a little more proof.

Can someone who included their 2 years old baby's birth certificate (showing both parents names) when filling i-751 still receive a RFE letter?

They can send an RFE for a variety of reasons:

* They lost your documents during uploading process

* Actual info missing from your packet that they feel should have been included to further prove your case

* Overall carelessness of the officer handling your case and him/her failing to see info right in front of them

 

But you have not received an RFE so stop overthinking and driving yourself nuts :jest:

As what have been already advised you should send additional evidences that shows both of you have a strong relationship . Financial records should show both of your names on it.  We have a two year old son who was born at that time a month before we filed for my wife's conditional greencard.  We submitted my wife's application for I 751 not just with son's birth certificate that showed both of our names as parents. We had the following documents sent with the application

 

1. three years of IRS tax transcript with both our names appearing on it.

2. Both our DL and state ID with common address

3. Quarterly statements from our bank since we got married that showed both of our names and address

4. Lease copy from previous apartment we lived with both our names

5. Current house rent with both of us on it notarized by the owner attesting for us

6. Our son's birth certificate with our names on it.

7. Wireless phone bills showing my wife cell phone included on our bill

8 Credit cards statement showing my me and my wife's name on it

9. Medical and dental insurance from work with me, my wife and son showing as members on it

10. 401k. other investments showing my wife and son as my beneficiaries

11. Various pictures were also presented to show all travel we made since she first came to the USA in 2014.

12. Pictures of me and my wife in chronological order from the time we found out she was pregnant until our son's first birthday

13. Attestation letter from family members (notarized) that we are married.

14. copies of our passport 

15. My divorce certificate from previous marriage

16. Our marriage certificate.

17 utility bills with both our names on previous apartment

18 a printout of my work's beneficiary page with my wife and my son's name appearing as beneficary for accidental as well as disability insurance offered at work

 

We did not get any RFE but instead my wife was called for an interview recently. I don't know if our financial evidence was strong enough or applying for N400 triggered the I 75 interiew. We were already interviewed during the adjustment of status phase so were thinking that they would just approve the conditional removal and give us the 10 year green card.  During the interview on the I 751 part  inspite of my son's presence, the interviewing officer did not just say I am approving you on the spot. She asked if we wanted  to present additional evidence that could help our case.  We were ready though coz I already gathered additional proof of our relationship that spans the almost two years we waited for the lifting of conditions. What I showed her was a photo  album with both of us that has over 100 pictures which she peruse and seems satisfied with what she saw. After that she approved the GC.  The bottomline:  be prepared and present your case as strong as possible.  There is no one proof that can satisfy USCIS . You must present as much evidence related to your case.  Good luck.
