The RFE Master List

[R_n_B 4]

Hello all, my fiancee and I received an RFE for our K-1 filing. The RFE states that "the evidence submitted indicates that you may have met the beneficiary through the services of an International Marriage Broker (IMB).

My fiancee and I met on Filipinocupid.com which is not an IMB as far as I am aware. We met each other by me messaging her and us talking online before meeting in person in Manila; no one helped us to meet each other.

It says, "If you feel that the website/business is not considered an International Marriage Broker, you must submit evidence that it does not charge fees for providing dating, matrimonial, matchmaking services, or social referrals between United States citizens and foreign nationals.

Can someone, anyone, please help with this?

Hey we got the same RFE...my fiance thought it only applies to military so he didnt answer it

My question is...did you also just put a "X" on the line on page 2 of the RFE and then sign and print the petitioners name in the buttom?

Or did you also attach a completed version of the i129f form?

Thanks so much!

Also, how long did it take for you to hear anything back after you emailed them the response?

well we just missed to answer I129F PART 3 2.c.

thats just our rfe.

it takes a month after we sent the reply to receive the noa2.

From what I've read most persons submit the terms and conditions of the website and/or the Wikipedia page outlining the services of the website to prove that it doesn't opetate under the general policy of an IMB.

Same sex couples take note:

Back in March of this year, my partner and I got an RFE requesting us to "indicate in which state the applicants intended to marry". This was due to the fact that my partner lived in a state that didn't allow same sex marriage (we knew this and planned on marrying in West Virginia that does). The RFE added on another 4 weeks to our petition getting approved and issued with an NOA2.

As of today, June 26th, the United States Supreme Court have now ruled that same sex marriage must be allowed and recognised in all 50 US states. Thankfully that also means that all future same sex couples applying for K1 visas will no longer get an RFE simply because the petitioner lives in a state that doesn't allow same sex marriages.

Hello everyone! This is my first contribution here.

So, we just got an RFE concerning my fiancée's G-325A. Since they don't tell us what we got wrong, we think it is because she left the current employment space empty, instead of writing "UNEMPLOYED". Her parents names were correct, so was their birthdates and stuff. She corrected the form by putting N/A to the former/current husband/wife parts, and she added her address from when she lived in the US for an exchange program.

Should she add her current address to Applicant's last address outside the US?

I think that should cover the doubts, right? Can anyone please help?

Without posting any personal information, it'd be more helpful for all if you typed exactly what the RFE asks for or post an image, blacking out the sensitive information.

Sorry about that. The RFE says:

"Please submit a properly completed and signed Form G-325A, Biographic Information, for Marcella."

It was signed, by the way. It just didn't have anything on the first space for employment.

Yes I would fill out the missing information then and of course have it signed again if necessary. There is also a number on the blue RFE sheet to call if you have any questions/concerns. Best wishes!!

My fiancée and I are close to submitting our application, and I've been checking all our paperwork in accord with the replies posted here (thank you all!).

I had one quick question pertaining specifically to the I-129F form. I noticed one person several dozen pages back stated that he or she received an RFE because he or she wrote "None" and/or "N/A" on in the boxes that did not apply to them. Has anyone else received an RFE for this?

The reason I ask is that I wrote parenthetical answers to the question that did not apply to me in order to make it more explicit. For example, for 11.a., I typed "(NO PRIOR SPOUSE)" and all the related spousal boxes following I put "N/A." I did the same for other fields, such as "(NO CHILDREN)", and so on.

Is this not recommended? My intent is to be painfully clear to avoid an RFE, but should I just leave these not-applicable boxes blank? If this is a silly question, I apologize in advance

When in doubt you should always refer to the instructions that come with the I129F form.

3. Answer all questions fully and accurately. If an item is not applicable or the answer is ''none,'' leave the space blank.

On the I129F I left all the non applicable stuff blank. But I did put N/A on the G-325A forms and did not get an RFE for it. good luck!

Hello everyone,

I am going to mail my RFE response back to USCIS.

Should we sent it to the PO Box in Dallas, Texas, or to the California service center?

Thank you for any idea!
