I have totally forgotten all about my RFIE that I haven't received yet. Between the excitement of the biometrics appointment and finding out that I'm pregnant.. It just slipped my mind. If all goes well (have lost two before) baby will be due in June which is the estimated date for my interview lol. We will see!

Maybe they will forget I didn't hand in I-944 and I will slip through the cracks. Wishful thinking I know!

Congratulations 🎊

I received an RFE asking for birth cert translated to English. Does anyone know if this needs to be notarized or have some sort of seal stating its done by a professional translator? They're also requesting additional tax/income documentation. I get 3 months to send everything in.

 

Do you have any updates on your end?

Hey! No updates for me yet. Good to hear they are actively reviewing your case. I sent my birth certificate translation by a friend who works as a paralegal no seal required just signs a document that she is fluent in Spanish Signed. I’ll let you know if I get anything back. 

 

If you don’t mind sharing- did you initially submit any tax docs? 
 

thanks!

Has anyone else received a RFIE about the missing I-944?

I've read one case here so far, is that correct?

I got an email from the National Visa Center today requesting affadit of support and DS-260 with applicable fees.

Is this right? We submitted an I-130/I-130A online and mailed in the I-485/I-761/I-131/I-944/I-864/G-1145. My wife is in the US from a K1 Visa.

If she's in the US from a K1 Visa, why did you file I-130 and I-130A. Did you get married after the 90 days? 

[VJ09 10]

No, we got married within 90 days. I thought the i130 needed to be filed with the i485. Sounds like I threw away $535 by filing that.

No I-130 needed. You just wasted 535. You should withdraw the I-130 application. I wish you read the first page of this topic before you filed.

 

What did you choose for the AOS category? (a) or (c)?

 

If you chose (a), there's a high chance your current AOS will be denied since there shouldn't be a I-130. The correct for K1 is (c).

I picked (c) there on the I-485. Need to figure out how to withdraw it...

Ok. So you're good with the AOS part.

 

You can try calling USCIS to see what you need to do.

I did not submit tax docs. Only IRS transcripts. And even then, I may have accidentally submitted the incorrect ones - my own, instead of my spouses (we file taxes jointly). It occurred to me I may have accidentally submitted the wrong transcripts a month after I sent the paperwork over because I was cleaning paperwork out. I need to really sit down and review the RFE though, since it was kind of lengthy and I skimmed over it briefly.

I would speak to a Tier 2 officer. Most likely you will have to write a letter and request it to be withdrawed. You will not get the payment back

Thank you both for the help. I did get through, they asked me to write a letter to the service center, and try for a refund although I am not expecting it. Writing a letter isnt required but a good step since my wife does have status.

Ok I see. I submitted our tax docs but we file jointly as well so not sure how that will play out. No updates yet on my end.

He must use August 25 edition: https://www.uscis.gov/i-765 "Edition Date 08/25/20. Starting August 25, 2020, we will only accept the 08/25/20 edition. You can find the edition date at the bottom of the page on the form and instructions."

 

If he paid the full I-485 fee, then filing I-765 is free. Filing I-131 is also free. https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-485instr.pdf "If you properly file Form I-485 and pay the required fees, you may file Form I-765 and Form I-131 without paying additional fees. You may file these forms together, or if you choose to file Form I-765 or Form I-131 separately, you must also submit a copy of your I-797C, Notice of Action, receipt as evidence that you filed and paid for Form I-485."

Did everyone in here submit an I-130A? The RFE letter I received is asking for that.
