Mailing in REFs

[ischia 0]

My inital filing included 5-7 pictures taken of my fiancee and myself that were recently taken and now my RFE is asking for proof of meeting and pictures are listed as a first option followed by tickets, stamps and so on.....So why more pictures? Did my pictures get lost? Anyhow, I will do as asked but I want to know how many is enough, I have 15-20 pictures ready to mail in! Is this too many? Also, I have heard that it's best to use the return envelope provided for mailing in the REF request, as it seems to get processed faster vs bigger types of envelopes, Any truth to this? I have more stuff to mail in than fits inside the provided envelope and was wondering if anyone has heard about this comment?

If you need more room - then you need a bigger envelope.

I sent about 9 pics in. I'd not hold back at this point. Flood 'em with what ya got now.

I wrote on the back of each pic in black ink; who, where, date.

I would mail them as many differen't types of evidence as I could find. They all help to paint a picture of your meeting. I don't think posting a lot of just one type of evidence is as effective.

Include copies of the 5-7 photos submitted with the I-129F and add copies of the remaining photos in the RFE Response.

Include copies of all the documentation you have (and can find) which prove you were in Cuba during the dates stated.

Where in the world did you hear/read that RFE responses are processed faster when the return envelope is used? Think about it - does that make sense? All letters and packages received by USCIS are date/time stamped.

Further, would you risk having the petition declined (yet processed faster) because some documentation was excluded from the RFE Response in order to use the envelope? Of course not.

Pay attention to the real issues. This RFE Response will be a considerable challenge, and you've got lots of work ahead!

Good luck!!
