K1, RFE

[JanaWithoutKhodor 3]

Hello all,

We received an RFE in our case and were in the process of gathering all the documents. The majority of the information they requested was information I had to obtain, however, there was a section of the RFE which asked if I knew my fiance's language (arabic), or if he knew my language (english) and if so, to provide certified school transcripts showing how we learned this. I do not know arabic, he knows English and learned it at the university he attended. All of our conversations via email, MSN, skype, Blackberry messenger have all been in English. He was in a horrible car accident last night and fractured his neck, is in the hospital, in a neck brace and I do not know when he will be getting out of the hospital. It is horrible. Anyhow, I don't know what to do, I am leaving for NYC for work on Friday and will not return until the 18th. Our paperwork is supposed to be back to the CSC by May 22nd. Should I send the RFE in without the school transcript or notarized affidavit from him, or should I wait until the 18th hoping he may be able to find someone else to get these documents for him and take the chance it doesn't arrive there on time? I am such a mess right now trying to know what the best thing to do is:(

send in the information you have. See if you can order his school transcript if posible. State the reason why you may not be able to provide the answer in the required RFE. If you have any details, information, which can also show he is in the hospital this will help as well. State, if needed, when available, you will get his transcripts to prove it. Also, if you plan to learn his native language, state so, and where you plan to go to school to learn.

Best of luck to you.

First, let me say that I hope your fiance has a speedy recovery! What an awwful thing to happen.

Were you given a phone number on the RFE paperwork? Perhaps you could call and ask for an extension given the circumstances? If you don't have a phone number, perhaps contacting the USCIS main number would help. Lastly, if none of the above are possible, you can send in the paperwork that you have and a letter explaining why you do not yet have the additional information requested. If possible, provide an approximate date for when these documents will be available to send.

On another note, I find it strange that they are asking if your fiance speaks English when you have emails from him written in English.

Yeah, I found it odd they were requesting the language stuff also, but, I am trying to do everything they are asking of me whether it makes sense to me or not:) I will try to call USCIS, the last time I did it was a disaster, talked to someone who basically talked about the website for 20 minutes before finally passing me on to someone who answered my actual question.

Thank you for the speedy recovery wishes, it is so hard to be apart when something like this is happening.......

Okay, I have a picture of him all banged up in the hospital so I will attach that if I am unable to get the transcript myself. I sent an email to his university asking what the procedure is. Thank you.....
