  1. Thank you! We had to submit additional evidence of legitimate relationship. Our packet was really, really thin when we submitted initially, as we hadn’t gotten a bunch of documents and were out of time. We submitted another 40 pages of documents, and apparently that was enough to get us across the finish line!
  2. Our RFE packet was received on 9/24. I thought it’d take a while to hear anything. I just got a “we’ve updated your name” notice at 2:15 eastern time, followed by a “New Card is Being Produced” notice a few minutes ago!
  3. Thanks for the help! This is the first time we’ve had any RFEs or hiccups in any petitions (long processing times and Social Security office issues aside). I’ve always put together really strong cases, so this is definitely throwing me off a bit.
  4. That’s kind of what I thought. Thankfully, he already has a state ID, we have mail and updated taxes. I can send in the bank statements for the missing months and time between now and last February. We have photos from our vacation last year, along with our train booking documents. We have mail from his family back in England addressed to both of us. I think the updated tax forms will help as well. I hadn’t been able to file last year before we mailed his packet. This is probably a stupid question, but I can use a larger envelope than the return envelope they sent us, correct? I definitely won’t fit everything in a standard, letter-sized envelope.
  5. I think I can make that work, then. If we set up Power of Attorney forms now, after receiving the RFE, would that look better or worse? I don’t want to make a decision that harms his case. I don’t know whether it’s better to set up more, stronger legal connections now, or whether it would be a red flag.
  6. We sent every other month of bank statements. We don’t have joint utilities or anything because they’re in my family member’s name. We use prepaid phone plans, spouse doesn’t drive because we can’t afford it, etc. We do have trips and taxes and joint bank accounts. We can definitely do other legal documents like PoA. We built the best case we could considering our circumstances with money. We can at least send updated financials and a new affidavit from our family we live with. We have a legitimate life, we’re just broke. 😅 We can easily do updated financial documents and IDs. It’s just the other, more concrete stuff like housing and household bills. To anyone, would copies of other bills that come to the house we share be worth sending?
  7. Well, even though I sent approximately 60 pages of documents, tax documents, photos, Affidavits from people we know, affidavits from the family members we live with (since we don’t have a lease), proof of joint bank accounts, our IDs, they didn’t look at half of that stuff, and they want it all again. They literally only list our photos and tax documents. We’re broke. We don’t have kids. We drive around a car I had before I got married. We don’t have a I picked basically everything I could from the evidence list to send the first time around. I don’t know what else to do. They say don’t send the same evidence again, but I guess I’m gonna do it anyway. Did half our case get lost? Did this guy just not look at it? I’ve known people who sent way less and had no issues. Ugh.
  8. i got a notification that they updated his name on the petition. It’s pretty unusual to get that one. My husband has a hyphenated surname that DHS/USCIS and Social Security Administration have been fighting over since he moved here. SSA hates the hyphen and refuses to use it in documents, even though it’s part of his legal name, and USCIS/DHS use the hyphen. I’m assuming that they’ve either removed or added the hyphen again. Either that or they’ve screwed something up, which also wouldn’t shock me.
  9. Haven’t posted in quite a while. I’ve tried to ignore this process because the world is stressful enough. I got a text notification at 12:10 AM EST and checked my account online, and we’re getting an RFE. Ugh. Now I can’t sleep because I’m anxious. Sent package: ~8 Feb 2021 Received: 12 Feb 2021 Biometrics: Can’t honestly remember. Summer-ish of 2021 Notification of name change on petition: 11 Jul 2022 RFE issued: 12 Jul 2022
  10. Hello all! I’ve been avoiding the forums during the waiting period for NOA1 because it gives me anxiety. But we got my spouse’s notice on Thursday, so I’m back at it again. Filed February 8th Received February 12th Check processed March 22nd NOA1 received March 25th, dated March 20th
