My wife and I got married in July 2011 and I received conditional PR in December 2011 while in Michigan. We subsequently relocated to California. In September of 2013 we jointly filed for ROC. Last Saturday January 18 of 2014 I received RFE citing insufficient evidence in good faith marriage and specifically asking the evidence to "cover the period of time from the date of the marriage (July 24, 2010) to the present date". Now a mistake in the date of our marriage was made by USCIS because our date of marriage was July 24 of 2011. I doubled checked our initial filing as well as I-751 and the date was correct in both and there was no mention of 2010.

My question is how I should go about correcting this mistake? I plan on send in more evidence but obvious there won't be any before July 2011. Should I open my response in informing USCIS of the mistake then proceed to attach more evidence? Or I should first make sure this mistake is corrected through other means? I don't know what there is but I have heard about the face-to-face session of Infopass - is that a viable option?

Also in terms of "present date", would that be to the I-751 filing time, the RFE time or up to the time I send in my response?

Thanks for any advice!

Please respond to the RFE with a reply stating that you got married on 7/24/2011 and that the immigrant spouse came to US on 12/xx/2011 and that you have the joint evidence from 12/2011 or 1/2012 onwards. Also attach a copy of the marriage certificate and copy of the Green Card again. They will understand their mistake and will accept the evidence from 1/2012 onwards.

Agree with this, marriage certificate being the key.
