Just curious, how many of you received a RFE for intent to marry even though you sent it with the original packet? I'm noticing there are quite a few saying this. We sent ours but received a RFE for it anyway, and when I called and spoke with tier 2, he told me it must have gotten separated from the original packet. How does that happen? tongue_ss.gif

We got on last week also but hers was not included in the original filing (lawyer error). My fiance faxed me an up to date one and I mailed it in yesterday.

Doesn't the Letter of Intent have to have an original signature on it?

maybe they also issue an RFE if they're having trouble distinguishing if its an originally signed letter or a copy. could also be USCIS's fault for incorrectly sorting files before transferring for adjudication. dunno.. just wild guesses -shrug-. tongue_ss.gif

I spoke to the USCIS last Friday and asked if an email or faxed letter is accepable. I was told yes, a fax is Ok since it is not a legally binding document. Lets hope they are giving good information.


Also, just a note, the fax had a header from the Vietnam post office with date and time.

Our first ones were signed in black ink, so it is possible they thought it was a copy. This time around, we signed in blue, and I also printed up a letter stating these are in fact originals and had it notarized. So HOPEFULLY they will accept that.
