This is incorrect and hurtful. I double and triple checked my package against the guides and stickies here, posted questions, researched everything.

I got an RFE requesting a passport photo of myself, even though I had sent the two requested with the original petition. They must have lost the first round of photos.

Also, as Martin and Tricia posted, they got an RFE for a birth certificate even though they sent it with the original package. VSC lost it.

These RFEs are not our fault, which makes me suspicious VSC is just doing anything to buy time. Please do not post your incorrect judgments.

I found the information regarding submitting passport photos very confusing. Especially since they were changing into digital photos for some of it at the same time.

I ended up submitting 7 pictures (all named and signed) to be safe. 2 for EAD, 2 for AP, 2 for GC and 1 extra.

Most likely only 2 were needed but 7 seemed to work in my head when I wanted to be safe

Let's hope you're able to clear the RFE swiftly.

I think people get RFE because they dont use visajourney advice, and fail to provide adequate evidence and information. Make sure all forms are fact checked, and ask yourself what questions may arise from your application. If there are any send the answer to USCIS to avoid an RFE.

I cannot believe that all you needed was a passport photo, and you still have not received your Approval yet. It makes me want to vomit. There is not a reason in this Earth that would convince me that they would need more than 10 minutes to add it to your file and send it on its way. I absolutely hate this agency with a passion. It makes me sick literally.

It makes me want to vomit too - seriously, I get physically ill when I really stop and think about the reality of our situation - over seven months in and we are FAR from over. All in all, it will probably be close t o a year by the time FI gets here - IF we are lucky, and with USCIS, that isn't a given at all.

I have never had any experience which is why I came to this board. I have found most of the members here to be very helpful. You are right, they can ask for whatever they want and I will give it to them. I am hoping by sharing my experience I am helping people, I am not trying to scare anyone, I keep pointing out this is not normal, but, it CAN happen. You are right, whenever anyone gets a NOA2, it is a great experience and moment for all of us.....

Not a problem. I have experience with immigration and yet I am still in this board because when it comes to immigration, I've learned that the best thing to do is educate oneself in anything possible because it might happen to you.

And you are not scaring anyone, it does help all here to know of every nuance and twist.

Best of luck
