RFE IN NEED OF HELP

[Nat & Mark 4]

Ok we have had an RFE and they are asking for the intent to marry, this was sent within the package but it dont seem to be there now ( we are using an attorney for personal reasons), the attorney is now saying Quote "We also recommend to include more details about your relationship as you did with the first relationship affidavit. In Tami's recent email she also included these instructions once more. If you have any other photos, emails, chat logs, money transfers, skype logs, facebook chats, or other proof of relationship we should include copies of these as well.". The RFE is only asking for the intent to marry thgough

I think they are asking for a written r typed letter that you ivory intend to marry each other like about future plan and where will you live or what is your in your mind or plan in future and once your fiancé comes where will he/she live and how you will do the recprtipn or maybe a private wedding whatever your plan is. Good luck

Did you BOTH write a letter saying "I___ am legally able to marry ___ and intend to do so within 90 days of (his or her) entrance to the US on a K! visa?

[Nat & Mark 4]

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has reviewed your petition arid supporúng evidence. You did not

submit required evidence to establish the france relationship with the beneficiary, Mark ********. USCIS

acknowledges receipt of your proof` of meeting within the two year period prior lo the petition and divorce decree

ofthe beneÍ`1eiary's prior spouse. In addition, USCIS acknowledges receipt of your proof of U.S, Citizenship, photos, and

Form G-325A (Biographie Information sheet) for both you and the beneficiary; however, you did not submit statements

regarding your intent to marry. Therefore, additional evidence is needed.

Provide an original statement establishing your intent the oeiieîîtiàrfwithin 90 days of his admission to the

United Sums. also süiornit copies of any evidence you have to establish your mutual intent to marry one

anotller.

Provide am original statement from the beneficiary establishing his or het intent to marry you within 90 days of his

admission to the United States. You may also submit copies of any evidence he or she wishes to submit to establish his

01' her mutual intent to marry.

If you submit a document in any language other than English, you must include a full English translation. The translator

must certify that the translation is complete and accurate. and that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign

language to English. Official extracts are acceptable, but only if they contain all the inforrnation necessary to malte a

decision on a case. Only extracts prepared by an authorized official, the "keeper of record," are acceptable. A summary of

a document prepared by a translator is unacceptable.

This is a coppy of the RFE we got

What is it they want ???

Yes but our attorney is now saying we should add more photos and skype chat etc

You should only respond to an RFE with what they specifically ask for, nothing more, nothing less.

So you say all that is needed from that is the letter of intent ??

[Hypnos 6,576]

If that's what they asked for, then that's what you should give them.

Well, the RFE is asking for a statement as well as evidence. That's a good question, regarding what evidence to send. Especially since they acknowledged the proof of meeting in the two year period. So I guess you could send more records of correspondence, skype logs and screen shots. Do you have documentation of wedding plans? I realize it's hard to plan the actual wedding when you don't know when they'll be here. Maybe some vouch type letters from family members, from the priest/pastor (or other expected officiant) for the upcoming wedding. Phone records, fedex slips, etc. Records of other trips you made to see your fiancee that you might not have included in the first place. Seems odd to me because I thought this is the kind of stuff you want to have for the interview at the embassy. I don't think you can err by sending too much unless you send something that would suggest something to the contrary of your intentions.

Be sure to sign the letters of intent. Also make sure they are written properly. I almost forgot to change the wording for the two of us because it's so similar. (eg. fiancee vs fiance and upon her arrival vs upon my arrival, him vs her, etc.) Stupid stuff, but I am blonde.

Our wedding planner has agreed to write a letter if we need it for evidence. We have seen each other again since our filing of the petition, and of course there is always ongoing conversations and telephone calls. We just didn't want to send in too much information because a lot of times it is advised on here not to. The letter clearly states for statement for intent to marry, but then it throws in that we can send in more evidence if we want to. So it makes me a little paranoid. Of course our attorney is advising that we send all the extra stuff in as well. So have to admit I'm a bit stuck on what to do... Just send in the statement? Or the statement plus all the extra evidence? ...

No -- NOT always. Being able to respond to an RFE is a golden opportunity to provide not only what the RFE requires, but also to add further evidence of a bona fide relationship. USCIS will not care, but will forward the material to the consulate when the petition is approved. At tough consulates, the additional information never hurts, at minimum. The additional evidence can turn a sure rejection into a fighting chance for a visa, or turn a borderline chance into a visa approval.

(For example, I secretly hope that Ecuador filers receive RFEs so that they can pad their petition packages with additional evidence -- it's just as effective as front-loading the petition would have been in the first place, except that the information that's sent along with the RFE requirements can be newer and fresher.)

A brief cover-letter can say "Here is the ____ that USCIS requested. Also enclosed is additional evidence of bona fide relationship, for the file. Please ensure that it is sent to the consulate after the petition is approved."

For London and for other VWP countries' U.S. embassies/consulates, additional evidence beyond satisfying the RFE requirements might not be as big a deal. Regardless, VJ members should avoid misunderstanding the "one London filer to another" comment as applying universally.
