recieved hard copy of rfe

[NikkiWicki 3]

Hi guys! i am about to send my rfe reply which is making me kinda anxious and very very careful with ff instructions. along with the blue notice, the white paper they sent me an an empty envelope with a po box in it. I read in uscis guideline that u have to use that envelope. apparently my documents wont fit because of its thickness. so what i did was stuff some in that empty envelope then used a big one for the other documents left and wrote the same address in front of the envelope that i used. is that ok? please comment!!! thank you so much!!! ?

What has been recently recommended by other VJ members to another member in a similar situation, was to securely tape the provided envelope to the outside of the larger envelope, containing your RFE response/evidence, and mail it back in that manner.

You will likely be okay, if the return address you placed on the supplemental envelope is EXACTLY the same as what is on the provided envelope...

YMMV.

Good luck on your visa journey.

I couldn't have possibly fit our evidence in the envelope and by passed it all together. I just made sure the address was the same on the envelope as my package and I had their cover sheet on top of all my paperwork.

Yes putting that blue cover sheet on top is key so that when they open the envelope and see it, they will give it a higher priority.

Use whichever envelope you'd like, tape the return envelope onto your envelope. As far as I recall, it has a barcode on it. Put the RFE notice on top of everything else. Delivery confirmation or tracking number on it, whichever you decide(only for the purpose of proving it was sent beforte deadline if it ever came down to it).

I laughed so hard when witnessing my husband(then fiance) trying to squeeze all the papers into the thimble-sized return envelope. Nooooo can do!

We put "RFE response to i-129f petition" on bottom left corner of our envelope also. From when it was sent until approved it was less than 3 weeks, including shipping the RFE resonse. One thing is having it approved quickly but my point is that it was matched up with the original petition fast. Status updated online, too.

Correction, it took less than 2 weeks from sending the RFE response until NOA2. (it wouldn't let me edit)

thats what I did. I actually scanned the original envelope, then printed a bigger picture of that then pasted it on the big envelope that I used. yes the blue paper was on top and i also inserted the small envelope they sent me. thank you so much!

i tried doing that too!! okay i actually did the long route of this reply cause all the papers are coming from the philippines. apparently fedex doesnt accept po box mails!! so I had to mail it to someone in cali. then they will be the one to mail it csc. what a journey!!! hahaha

Sounds good.

Hopefully the minions at the USCIS will promptly process your RFE information and get you on your way to the interview.

Good luck on your visa journey.
