Easy RFE ?

[RFEMAKEMECRAZY 6]

When returning the RFE, do you have to send it back in the provided return envelope or can you just send the requested info in any envelope to the address on that return envelope? My reply might not fit. Thanks!

You got an envelope????

I read on VJ to mark the outside of the envelope (the side with the flap) with RFE in big letters so that there is no doubt what it is.

Mine would have fit in a normal envelope, but it would have been a bit tight. How many pages are you sending? Is it what was requested or are you fluffing it up with extra stuff?

I just used a typical full-sized envelope (so no pages were folded or bent) and sent ours return-receipt so that I would KNOW they got it. They didn't touch it after that for over a month.

Good luck.

Is "RFE" a USCIS term or a VJ term? If the latter, I don't think writing "RFE" on the envelope will help.

Check out this official USCIS link:

RFE Project

See that clickable link right there above the word PROJECT?

While writing that on the envelope didn't seem to help me (or maybe it did--who knows, maybe when my aprover got back from a month's vacation, then s/he said--"Oh, this should be easy..."), I don't see how it can hurt.

I am willing to do anything that is cost-free or pain-free, if it can help. (That is why I have a link to MY RFE ADVICE in my signature. It is something K-1 filers can do while they are waiting and writing back and forth to each other anyway and would only cost them the amount of ink it takes to add one or two lines to any of their letters. This was something that was requested, and to be told to get something in a hurry that I could have done painlessly several months ago, well... it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.)
