We got a letter saying they want me to provide an "original" statement to establish intent to marry? Our lawyer already sent that why would they need another one? What do you guys think this should look like? I am so upset!

We had an RFE for the exact same thing, best we could guess was it was over looked or lost. Our original and replacement ones were basically identical. We sent one from both of us in, since they didn't specify who's they felt was missing, they just quoted the need for them from the instruction page. So we sent in new originals from both of us.

You cannot be sure lawyer sent an original. Just send it in. Remember an RFE is better than a denial.

Did the lawyer send the original letter with your signature in ink, or a photocopy of that? Also did it indicate "intent to marry within 90 days of XXXX's arrival in the U.S." ?

This is the result you have when doing things through a lawyer instead of making sure yourself that everything is submitted correctly.

If you quote exactly the wording of your RFE, VJ users will be able to help you better.

Since they are requesting an "original" they must believe that the first one you sent in was a photocopy or that only one of you sent in an intent to marry. The intent to marry must be submitted by both parties and they must be original--i.e. no photocopies. That is why most people sign in blue ink, but given color copiers these days that is no guarantee. The USCIS employee must have looked at the paper and cannot see when the pen made an impression on the paper. I would get two new letters of intent ready, you sign yours and your fiancee signs hers and get them to the USCIS ASAP.

Good luck,

Dave

We didn't send in an intent to marry letter, our lawyer did say it was not needed.

When we got an RFE, I thought that was why and I was so ready to kill our lawyer..(LOL) turns out the RFE was a request to send in a legible copy of my annulment decree. So Intent to marry doesn't seem to be a pre-requisite at all.

Some people get an RFE for it some don't. Guess it really depends on the officer who touched the case. This whole process is really Craaazzyyy! Just hang on and just give them what they need, and hope for the best! :)

I am often reminded of this Back To The Future II when I hear something about lawyers: The justice system works swiftly in the future now that they've abolished all lawyers.

If only that were true...

Please fire your lawyer once you get the visa, if your case is straight-forward, you can continue the journey by yourself. Remember, you still have AOS, ROC and citizenship.

They could have lost it. Send another signed letter, one each from the petitioner and beneficiary.

Because they are lawyers does not mean a good one. Both of you write an new original letter of intent, sign and date them, be sure to somewhat match your original letter or same topics, cc your attorney. You have an attorney why?

In Arizona its hot hot hot.

This happened to me as well.

Check this out: http://www.avvo.com/legal-guides/ugc/sample-fiance-letter-of-intent-1

It has to be literal. Like literal.

I reviewed again what we sent... and we implied that we wanted to get married... but they just want to have this like this
