Hey...October CSC filer here. Here's the thing: I used an attorney for petition. I know...bad move. I joined this great group in February, and have learned so much. I contacted my attorney, and mentioned the letter of intent. He said we didn't need one due to the other evidence we already have. I know now that I will probably get an RFE, so I've had my fiance sign one and send it to me. My question is, should I send hers and mine now? Or, should I wait until I get the RFE?

I would wait until you get an RFE. If you mail it now without the slip they send you with the RFE, it might be possible it just gets lost among the sheer masses of documents they receive every day, and that it won't be matched to your file.

I kind of figured. I'll just keep them safe here until I get the RFE.

Thanks for your reply!!

I would wait and see if you get an RFE, and if you do send it in at that time. I would also go over your entire package that was initially sent it. If your lawyer doesn't even know that Letter Of Intent is a requirement, it makes me wonder what else they forgot. If you do get an RFE, I would have long talk with your lawyer about getting some of your funds back because of his/her incompetence. Good luck :thumbs:

The SAME EXACT thing happened to me. I sent out my package in September, mentioned it to the immigration legal aid that was helping me and she said we did not need one, so i didnt send one. However, i had my fiance sign one just in case while i was visiting him. Needless to say, I received an RFE a few weeks ago, and there it was. They needed a letter of intent from us. So, JUST IN CASE u do get the RFE for it, wait for it first, then send it in with that blue sheet they send u. Good job in having ur fiance sign one just in case u need it!

I had called the USCIS customer service number and their staff told me I did not need to send the G325 or the Letter of intent. So now I'm eagerly awaiting my RFE!! Thank God I found this website, I now have all the additional paperwork they will ask for....

My fiance and I almost decided to get a lawyer now im so glad we didnt. I understand you guys are only a handful of the experiences of people who have hired lawyers but seriously how can they not know something so basic? How much have you guys spent on your lawyers?
