Has anybody received RFE for bank/utility/credit card statements?

Has anybody received RFE for not providing every month for bank/utility/credit card statements?

 

I was thinking of providing monthly statements for every quarter(every 4 months) instead of every month to make sure the application is not huge in size?

 

Is every quarter ok or should I every 2 or 6 months?

I think sending every quarter is totally fine. I'm sure whoever gets your packet will appreciate not having to sift thru mountains of paperwork (I know I would), especially if they can see there a continuation of use/record from the statements you do send in.

 

This may not help,  because we're still in the process... but we sent the past 6 months statements from our bank,  as well as the last 3 months paystubs, utility bills, credit card statements,  etc. (Which is really just a continuation of what we previously sent for the K1 - so I feel like a monthly copy for the past 2 years is way too much.) I thought they would appreciate not having every scrap of paper we could come up with to just fill the packet to overflowing - I believe they just want to see that yes,  we do live as a genuine married couple and share bills, credit cards, expenses, life, etc. I think quality is much better than quantity in this situation. (But I'll be sure to update you if I find out otherwise. 😉 )

 

We've sent our 751, received our receipt notice,  as well as our biometrics waiver and everything is looking good so far. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly.

When I did my ROC I only sent in quarterly bank statements and I was approved with no RFE and no interview. The key is to make sure the bank statements cover the whole time period from when you were married.

If you have the option of sending quarterly statements, and you feel comfortable with that, then do that. It is up to you. 

Personally, we sent evidence since the date of the marriage and not since the date USCIS approved the conditional green card. That is what the instructions state and that is what we did. I have observed that USCIS likes to see continuum of evidence -month by month or quarter by quarter - since the date of the marriage. Plenty of folks only send evidence since the date the conditional green card got approved and sometimes they get approved. I am just not willing to risk doing that if I know that the directions state to send evidence since the date of the marriage. Again, it is up to you. 

We did keep it big picture and did not include some items that we included for AOS - such as text messages and proof of gifts. We focused on joint finances,  employer benefits, brokerage account, retirement accounts,  proof of cohabitation. We did not even send that many pictures. 

Our bank does not have the option of printing quarterly statements. Therefore, we sent monthly statements.
