      I was notified of an RFE yesterday by text. I called this morning to get more information and they have my fiance as being previously married (common law). They basically want proof that he is no longer in a marriage. The common law marriage was to his son mother. They are no longer living together. They haven't lived together for 3 years. Do I need him to go ahead a get the certificate of non impediment to prove that they are no longer living together? The tier 2 representative mentioned a divorce decree but as I stated before it was only a common law marriage. Not sure how to proceed from here.

what number did you called?

You will need to consult a lawyer in JA.  To be deemed a common law marriage, they lived together for 5 years or more.  JA treats common law marriage just like regular marriage and if the relationship has been dissolved it is filed in court to be considered a legal separation.   His common law spouse can file for child support, alimony, and part of all property owned during the common law marriage.   

 

He cannot just say that he moved out and left 2 years ago.

Thank you so much for your response. I've been checking everywhere and this is the most insight I've gotten on this topic so far.

Help.. We just got an RFE and forgot to send the original copy of the RFE. Shall we resend all the evidence with the original notice ? We are panicking about this. We will have to send it in different envelope too. Hoping the original evidence won't find its way to our case officer as we didnt include our reference number or anything just the documents and a cover letter detailing contents of the pack.

Finally I got an email stating that my petition was approved today!!!

[tomandkatew24 11]

So we managed to hold the mail and resent in the RFE last Monday 29th but im confused as uscis website has updated our case online to say rfe  was sent on August 5th.. Does this mean we have another RFE or is that a late status update. Note it never updated when we got our original

Hi everyone..

Your comments has really been helpful but I am very tensed anyone has an idea what I should do?

I am an October filer

got an rfe on March 25

Replied may 26

USCIS received on June 11 

and until this moment we have heard  from them, 9th of August makes it 60 days..I don't know why its taking long, I have seen people with same date that USCIS received their letter get approved..though our rfe was a request for criminal record documents, my fiance has a record from 15 years ago and we didn't include documents in initial filing. wlwe took long to send in our reply because getting the documents from the court where his case was handled took a lot of time..

Has anyone had a similar case before, I am worried!

28 days since they received our RFE reply (and counting..) apparently I check the uscis website too often because my IP address is blocked now lol. Maybe I should take up knitting again because the waiting and doing nothing is driving me insane

I got that message over the weekend. I think it was just a bug in their system cause I wasn't even checking anything. Checking a tracking number on the website requires no human effort on their end, so they wouldn't block you from checking thousands of times a day if you wanted to. Well, maybe thousands of times they might get concerned....

 

As for myself, today is now 3 weeks since my RFE receipt. The waiting is getting pretty tough. Each day feels like a week. I try to keep busy in the meantime, but my fiance and I both feel like all the things we normally enjoy doing, we just enjoy those things less now. Cause none of it compares to if we were just together.

Haha my fiancé got it in his physical mailbox. I never tried the app, but the website still says rfe received. Sorry I got distracted by the way. I know exactly what you mean by trying to just live your normal life and routine but it feels like something is missing. It’s like waiting on standby for your life to actually start!
