Did you keep a copy of your I-129F to review? If so pull that out and review what you submitted. Usually it's just a missed box example the box that asked have you ever been arrested, for some folks it's very hard to see that because of the way it's arranged, lot's of folks skip it and that's a sure RFE, or sending in only one letter of intent to marry (although some get by with only one letter of intent depending on how it is worded), both simple easy fixes. I am sure it's something simple and you'll be able to fix it and get it in the mail, only a few weeks setback.

 

Don't worry to much about it now as there is nothing you can do. Sometimes if you get a nice and accommodating Tier 2 Officer at USCIS they will tell you what the RFE is for, sometimes they will even fax it to you. You can try calling a couple of times to see if you can get that person. There is no data base where you can find that information on what your RFE is for as only USCIS can tell you that.  If you follow the RFE exactly you'll be on your way as most RFEs do go on to be an approved petition. I don't know the percentage, but it's a high rate. For now relax or try to you'll need your wits about you to answer your RFE correctly.

I did keep a full copy of my I-129F.  I have been pouring over it and looking for what others on here have received RFE's for in the past.  As for the letter of intent, I did only send in 1 but with BOTH of our signatures.  I hope that is not the hang up as I will have to fly down to get her signature on a new and separate letter of intent.  Another thing I have been thinking about is the use of "N/A."  Some people are of the opinion that you use it EVERYWHERE while others, only where the question is truly not applicable.  Looking at my copy, I did realize that I forgot to write our names on the backs of the passport photos.  I have heard where they have lost some items from some people's application.  If our photos fell out and I didn't have our names on them, then that could be the issue.  Luckily I have extra copies of our passport style photos....

99.5% go onto an approval. There, nothing to worry about. Your'e over thinking the process and so doing so the boogeyman has scared you. Relax. This is not a big deal. Trust the process. 

 

  
When you receive an RFE (Request For Evidence) the best way to handle the RFE is to read it carefully. Do ONLY what it says. DON"T add tons and tons of unnecessary documents. It's not needed and will NOT help your case. The adjudicator has already made up their mind about your case and if you do what they ask then they are going to approve your case. Of course if something in your past is hanging up the approval, hence the RFE then what you return will answer the question(s) that the Adjudicator has. 

Thanks for the words of encouragement.  I guess I should be looking at this as a positive thing.... they haven't rejected me yet!

Some adjudicators will except one letter two signatures others require two letters two signatures. If this is the case no need to fly anywhere.  Send her your signed copy and send one for her to print to sign. They don't have to be wet.  Yes, we have seen others get an RFE for "lost" documents or photos.

I am so anxious that I have already shave my head bald. Quite effective in stopping myself from pulling hairs.

@Allen Crabtree dollar to a doughnut that's your RFE the single letter of intent!. Easy fix though just draft up another letter scan and email to your partner they sign it and send it back to you simple finished done!!!!!!! As a matter of fact you should do that anyway so it will be ready to send out right away if that is indeed the RFE, be sure to adjust the date on the letter.

Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Once you finish that then return and you will see a flag in your profile. Select it and see what wonderful information will open up for you.

 

Thanks

Well you guys are the experts.  I could kick myself if that's what it turns out to be.  That's what I get for using logic.  I just assumed that a lot of people HAVE to use two separate letters because they are so far apart and do not get to see one another very often plus I was under the impression that it had to have a "wet" signature.  I go down to see her every month so I thought having one letter with both of us identified as petitioner and beneficiary with wet signatures would actually be MORE convincing.  Well I guess we will just have to wait and see.  Hopefully I will get the hard copy by Friday or Saturday but if you lose this bet, I prefer Krispy Kreme....

Stupid question probably but is there like a trend on "when"the case tracking websites are updated (Morning, evening, Monday , Friday etc..) , or it's completely random ?

There's no trend I'm aware of. I don't know if the sites are as bad for AOS as they are for I-129-F petitions about not being updated at all.

[chocolatecookie 13]

I just changed my mind--- start growing back my hair so that i can pull again in a few weeks. 

the reason being, i just got a case update: my NOA2 approved. 

sprinkling joy... now
