Got RFE about i-486 form after 6 months, do I need to also submit new photos and other attachments

[LucyF 1]

The RFE I got is generic on form version and finance. While I resubmit all the required materials, should I also re-attach my newest photos, given it has been 6 months since submission? 

 

On a similar note, should I re-submit birth certificate etc that goes with the form requirements? Thank you very much.

No. Only send what is asked.

Photos is not important. If you can post the letter will help us to understand the request better. Remember to cover any personal information before posting.

@LucyF looks like problems with affidavit of support. Did you submit it? Was it latest edition? Did all the pages print ok including barcode at the bottom of every page? Did you provide all the information? Did you include latest tax return transcript?

Hi @OldUser You are bringing really good points, but yeah I checked these are all good... the only suspicion I had was that I had to hand fill some contents due to Adobe not working right, and hand filling not changing barcode...

Hi @Rocio0010 thank you for your reply. I am planning to just send in the asked docs. However my husband gave USCIS hotline a call and the rep there told us we should re-send in photos and copies of birth certificates too...

You feel free to do what you think is best. However, the rep that was on the call is a Tier 1 agent that knows nothing about your case, and they shouldn't be giving advice.
