I have some question about rfe. Our rfe letter us give us a list of suggestions like what to send for rfe. Some items that we do not have, do we have to write an explanation letter for all the items that we do not have? Or we can just write an explanation letter on some of the item. Thanks. example we do not have joint credit card because cc company always give your good sign up bonus, if we add each other as auth users, only one people will get bonus not both of us, so we do not want to add as auth users. Also like no join loan, I bought my car and get my loan before married to my husband and now the loan is paid off almost one year ago. My husband bought his car in cash so no loan. Do we need to explain about it? Our just give them our joint car insurance it will be good. Thank you for your help.

So you didn't say what the rfe says. I am assuming you are removing conditions from marriage based green card. If so you should have sent proof that you have a marriage that you entered into in good faith and you are still married. You should have send proof of living together such as both names on the rent or deed, co mingling of finances such as joint bank account, joint credit cards, both names on utility bills, etc. Basically items showing you are a couple living as husband and wife. What did you send as proof?

Dont write excuses for what you dont have. They dont care.

It would help if you can post a copy of the RFE, so that we can see exactly what they want...sounds they want evidence of your relationship.  You need to concentrate on what you can provide showing you are together.......your excuses are not what they want.

As it states, you need "evidence you and your spouse have resided together and shared responsibility for a common residence"  Here is what we sent for my wife's ROC.  Maybe it will give you some ideas.  

 

Apartment lease with both our names & signatures
Periodic Joint bank checking acct statements since wife's arrival in June 2017.
Deed for new home with both our names
Mortgage Lender Letter with both our names.
Credit Cards showing both on joint account with same card number.
Amazon delivery label showing both names and our current address.
Wife's Military Dependent ID card showing me as the sponsor.
Tricare Eligibility Letter showing both of us together.
Military pay statement showing wife as my benefic.
Texas Health Care Directives appointing each other as sole health care proxy(Advanced Directives)
Our Texas driver's licenses with same address for both of us
2018 Joint Tax ReturnTax Returns 
Pictures of us on special occasions here in the US.
Car Insurance Cards showing both of us as insured drivers for our car
Boarding Passes for Las Vegas Valentine Day Trip 2019
Utility application showing both our names for our current address    

 

Removal of conditions is something which takes planning from the time a green card is issued.....

on the end of this letter it said do not send what you already send and not having a list of what they received made me wonder what happened. i see pretty much eveyone who get rfe will have a list in that red circle area.....

Do you have a copy of your package?

 

How many months of phone and utility bills?

How many bank statements? 

 

What about eills, living wills, adding each other's as beneficiaries on all accounts (pension, retirement, savings, etc.) ?
