hi.. i need urgent advice on a very serious issue.. we received the dreaded RFE with the stated deadline.. we filled the appropriate response 15 days before the stated deadline but due to some delievery issues it got delayed and did not reach the office on time. it clearly shows on the uscis account that the deadline has passed and we have not received any evidence.   what should be the course of action now.. i have filled a case with the courier services as to why they delayed but the damage has been done.. what should be the course of action now... how can i explain this sitatuion to the uscis

If it hasn't been delivered, the immediately re-send another response.  However, you could still face a denial for failure to respond to an RFE.  You might send them proof of mailing on time.

Has your response to the RFE been delivered to USCIS yet?

At USCIS stage it is up to USC to give evidence and prove the relationship

the RFE would have been sent to USC via email

Per other post USCIS wanted to see things like boarding passes,  photos to show her trip / she would have  had these

you are the bene and at this point its up to USC to show the marriage and reltaionship are bona fida

You could have emailed items to her  as copies are ok at the USCIS part 

Instructions for I 130 are clear

 

Evidence. At the time of filing, you must submit all evidence and supporting documentation listed in the General Requirements section of these Instructions. USCIS may issue a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) or a Denial Notice for petitions filed without the required supporting evidence.

 

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-130instr.pdf

 

She should have had the proof needed and sent from her US address and it would have been received on time

 

your part is the interview
