Case went from approved to RFE or NOI

[Xaushin 8]

My approved k1 visa petition was sent back by the NVC to USCIS, now USCIS is claiming they need more evidence and issued a RFE or NOI, what does this mean and has this happened before?

[Crazy Cat 41,842]

It sounds like NVC found an error.  I would send them exactly what they want.  It is rare, but it happens.

How long does this process take and the request is for additional evidence, what would additional evidence be? Everything was summitted  as per the petition instructions.

Depends on what they found wrong.  Did you include proof of meeting within 2 years and signed letters of intent from both people?

I sent in all required evidence, I94, pictures, everything that they wanted. A agent at uscis approved the petition the first time, they had to have checked to ensure everything was received.

USCIS makes mistakes sometimes.  It could be their mistake instead of yours.  You'll just have to wait.    Are you the petitioner?  

[Xaushin 8]

Yes, which is why I don't know what's going on, will just have to wait for the Notice to appear in my mailbox.

The NOI was just faulty, on the usics website, it says its a RFAE.

RFAE = Request For Additional Evidence.

 

It sounds like the NVC is requesting additional evidence which isn't the same as "initial" evidence.  Initial evidence is simply the required documents/evidence required in the initial filing. 

 

Additional evidence is evidence that isnt required in the initial filing..   Honestly you won't know until you get the notice.

 

But if there's anything such as criminal history, previous marriages, etc.. They may be requesting additional documents for that.

 

👀 I'll be watching this thread.

NVC doesn't request more info from I-129fs.  USCIS does.  I think NVC discovered a USCIS error.  I agree the OP will just have to wait for the hard copy.

Yes, it is very rare that NVC sends back a 129F. It will be interesting to see what the error or additional requirements are.

Hello.

So, in the RFE notice they will send you, you’ll have a list of what type of evidences they want to see.

Right now, guessing is not a good thing to do. I’d suggest that you wait for that notice to get in your mail box and have what they need as soon as you can.

My bad, I meant USCIS.  Not the NVC. 🤣

 

But rest of my comment still stands true. It could be something as simple as a missed signature.  Although I think that'd be under Initial evidence and not additional.
