ANOTHER QUESTION

[JDGam 6]

I was looking through our paperwork and just realized we are missing a letter we received late

Dec, 2012. We were asked to show proof of a bona fide marriage. We had an Infopass apointment on January 30, 2012 at 10am. We gave in a lot more evidence than we have now available. My question is, do they keep this evidence and send it to the consulate? It was asked for the I-130, before it was approved. We had showed the letter to the lawyer and she said she had never seen a letter asking for this kind of evidence before an I-130 approval. Has anyone had a similar experience and if you did, did the evidence end up being given back during the interview? Thanks!

Okay you got an RFE a year ago about what? what was asked and what did you submit?

Usually if its originals you can request back no guarantees. No originals ever are to be submitted to USCIS unless they ask and they don't ask photocopies you give them.

WOW an RFE over a year ago and you still have no NOA2? Yikes.

Did you read my post hun? It says they asked evidence of a bonafide marriage. We got our NOA2 several months ago, in February of 2013, the RFE was for January 2013, I got the year wrong sorry!! They asked for leases, bank accounts, credit cards, photos, etc.

And we submitted all of that stuff. I just wonder is that evidence then given to NVC and sent to the consulate for the interview? We are just waiting for our case complete now because we had to wait for my husband's waiver first.

I was asking for clarity sake. You had said Bonafide marriage that can mean anything to many different adjusicators. Also you stated your lawyer had never seen a request for evidence like this so I thought it strange and just was asking for clarity.

All evidence submitted becomes part of your case file and goes along the path to consulate hopefully.

Thank you for the point. And hopefully it does go to the consulate! I would just hope for more certainty.

Often it does, but sometimes it doesn't. You can send all the evidence you want (including what you sent to the USCIS) with the IV package to the NVC. I suggest also bringing a copy of everything to the interview.

[JDGam 6]

We sent the last stuff from the checklist on Monday. Should I still send in the other stuff too? Like an album of pics for example, would that be ok to send in? And another set of evidence, basically the same sent for the RFE, should I send that in again?

If you've already responded to the checklist and are waiting on a case complete then no, do not send in things to add. The best time to send it would have been with the original IV package to the NVC. Bring the evidence to the embassy. It should make it there, but sometimes it doesnt so it's good to take a copy.

So now another question!!

We sent a new AOS packet with a co-sponsor last week. It was received at NVC on Jan 4. We sent it because I had not worked steady for the last 3 years because my husband is the main bread winner. Today we received our INTERVIEW LETTER!!! It is for Feb. 4. However, I am worried because it says that the case has not left NVC by what it says at the CEAC site. So, I dont understand. Weren't we supposed to get a case complete letter??? I dont get it. Someone please help us!!

Why don't you call them. What you will learn I bet is they received your documents gave you case complete and their was an interview slot open and you were scheduled immediately.

Case Complete emails don't come until a week after case complete. But you got interview thats all that matters. But call them to find out when ypou gpt case complete. I will add you to case complete interview thread.

Also why would you worried. You just were assigned. It usually doesn't get sent off to embassy for a few days. It doesn't matter when it gets sent out you have interview. Call them to ease your mind.

Congratulations. This is great news for you.
