I was very worried.
When I got the RFE for evidence that I already submitted, I just resubmitted the evidence based on advice from the good people here and my friends who just went through the process. I thought maybe they deemed the evidence insufficient but for whatever bureaucratic reason, didn't convey that effectively in the RFE letter.
In particular, I included airline boarding passes from Avolar, a discount airline in Mexico. It was basically a small white sheet of paper not much bigger than a large Post-It note with our names, dates, seat assignment, and airport locations. No logos or watermarks - simply the words "BOARDING PASS" across the top. Something I could have done in photoshop in less than 1 minute. The only other evidence I provided aside from time stamped photos were two bus passes with our names and dates but they were very tough to read and everything in Spanish.
But all worked out well in the end. It's still sinking in right now. I chatted with my fiance on MSN with webcams last night and we both were like ... uuhhhhhh .... hahaha. We would never have guessed we would get approval in just less than four months!!! We are very excited but the reality of it all is quite profound! We've been together for a very long time (see below) and it has been culminating to this one piece of paper. Sick!
