Is it OK to get RFE only for K2? And what could this be? Request for original documents??

 

USCIS may send an RFE for any case as necessary.  You will have to wait for the actual RFE letter to get the details.

There is some activity now

 

I received notification through the case tracker app, on my K2 that RFE was sent, but on K1 no any updates.

When i log in to my USCIS main account there is no any activity, still the same : Case was received and thats it.

Is it OK to get RFE only for K2? And what could this be? Request for original documents??  I sent my package almost same as first time( added few papers), first time there were no RFE for my K2 at all, just one RFE regarding tax transcript request. 

What are they doing there? One time is like this, second time is like that,( i dont even mention when they rejected my application due to fact that no priority date can  be found on my initial i129F( approved i797c( there is no priority date listed).

Getting stressed out with all this. Btw K1 is mother of my daughter which is US citizen through CRBA. 

I just saw this today but I know my stepson's RFE was because I did not provide proof of my citizenship.  At the time, I did not have a copy of my birth certificate so I sent my passport scans.  They were lost in the shuffle, so I sent them again.  Now, I have birth certificates for the future.  But it is probably something like that.  Going through the first part with the I-129F, you remember seeing others stress over an RFE that they definitely sent the correct document but USCIS "never received it."  You've got this!  Just stay positive on it or at least neutral because you are providing information to them again to justify your package.

*** Moved from K1 Process & Procedures to AOS from K1 Visas forum ***

 

 

I assume you married within 90 days of US entry with K1 visa?  If you are filing I-485 based on marriage after K1 entry, you need to submit a copy of the I-129F approval notice.  Did you submit the I-129F notice with your 2nd I-485 package?  Also, on the 2nd I-485 form, did you list the receipt number and priority date of the approved I-129F petition?

 

I don't see a priority date on our I-129F approval notice. We are still haven't filed the I-485 yet. How to know the priority date of our I-129F approval notice?

The picture, its from I797c approval notice, no priority date listed. Some said here on forum, the day when I129f was received by USCIS that is priority date, i left priority date field blank on my I-485.

Hello forum. Small update, after all this messed up USCIS attitude  case was approved January 23 2024, without interview, awaiting green cards. Total loss over 12000$. Conclusion, USCIS plays its own game where everyone is trapped like a mouse, they are 2 steps ahead of you, follow strictly guidance from USCIS to avoid complications because they don't give a ####### about you. I did not use any lawyer as they are useless goons and only application fillers, easy can do it on your own.

  My advice, get online account with USCIS and check it EVERYDAY(if you have no app case tracker, if you do - once a week enough). Get app case tracker which is good app, but also not reliable because did not update case progress sometimes( its a must do copy paste within app to see progress of your case online). Watch your case and don't  give a chance USCIS to screw you. USCIS did not send few letters to me which resulted in case denial in first filing, even motion to reopen(with lawyer service) did not work(after case denial)as USCIS stood their ground and told me Foff basically. My last(3rd) filing went over processing time and i did online e-request, which gave me useless reply we working on it,  but after 2 months case was approved.

Follow instructions and monitor  your file and progress of your case aggressively  yourself without rely on USCIS notices(as they cheat and don't send the most important letters(RFEs). You may see it online on your account if they sent anything in Document tab, but if you dont have online account and rely on paper letters you will be in very weak position(that happened with me when i filed first time).

 

P.S. USCIS play dirty, but they do it smart way in form of invisible hand. Nobody should pay twice for the same person for the same immigration benefit, that is their job to deal with it, they dont, you pay twice or even more than that.

 

Best wishes.This forum is a life savior when you need help. Thanks to everyone here.

Congratulations on getting approved! Yes, USCIS tough, and it should be always taken seriously. Immigration has a lot of small but important nuances.

Couldn't agree more. They're a government agency, not a friend, who seek to deny not approve cases, unless you give them all forms and evidence to prove otherwise.

I disagree with this statement. I filed I-485 with a good, competent lawyer, and I'm glad I did. No RFEs, no issues, relatively fast approval and total cost of under 5K including filing fees back in 2019/2020. Otherwise, I'm not sure how many mistakes I would have made.

Agree with this. Immigrant should be proactive. Also recommend signing up for USPS Informed Delivery. Also recommend not moving while any USCIS petitions are pending, because moving creates a lot of potential for mail to get lost.
