It is very frustrating to learn that it took someone only 5 months to get approved without sending any evidence and after 9 months of waiting I was denied for lack of evidence :angry::huh: . without any notice what so ever to send more. Now I had to file another form to reopen the case and send all evidence. And probably have to wait another 5 or 6 months. Very unfair how they accept some papers and not others. These forms are not the cheapest. I know it will be all worth it in the end because I love my Fiancee very much, but it's just very unfair. Just wanted to vent :bonk:

Actually a vj member did post about this, however her sponsor is active duty. So maybe the requirements for active duty military are not as strict.

You're right ... some people do get an RFE :yes:

Mar 2011 - After 5mths denied for lost docs - Attempts to follow up failed. Mar 18 2012 - I-129F sent - No sign of NOA1 but they have banked the check...Jul 24 - Update - USCIS has located our file
Infopass Apt - they sorted through everything - our 2011 and 2012 file keep getting mixed up - getting us a Case# (still waiting) Dec- Infopass Appt- expecting to get a case # in about a week ..Still no Case number

Mar 2013 Infopass - advised file was in a box somewhere,and it would be quicker for us to refile. Life gets in the way... New petition submitted July 2014 .
