Depends where it's going, I guess. How long does it usually take mail to get to you from the US? About that long, plus a day or two for it to get out of the mail room, I imagine!

 

Is your timeline updated?

I got a letter in the mail of what evidence they wanted in about a week.

would you mind if i ask what documents they adked for. I received an email last november 2013 that our case is for RFE..But unluckily our hard copy was sent to Kuwait, me and my husband lived there begore but we already changed our address online. Anyway we already talked to the uscis people and they admitthey made a mistake and they told us they will send an expedite request forour case in CSC which ourcase has been transferred. Im still confuse if that means expedite should we still need to waitfor a hard copy of RFE and respond to that? Anyway, just to be prepared what documents they asked you for?

I dont know what else they need, in our applucation its obvious that me and my husband are living together in kuwait with a 1 year old baby, we assumed that is enough proof that we are genuinely a married couple. Living together in kuwait for almost 2 years..

thanks a lot

No problem, They asked me for 2 people to write a statement saying they know we are in a relationship. In this statement they must include there full name address and how they know you. It can be a very brief statement. I got my dad and a co worker to write one.

Then they wanted a letter of intent to marry from both of us. This must be original copies. You can find examples of this letter online.

Also Two passport style pictures 2x2 in size of both you and your fiancée. You must write your full names on the back of these.

Also I sent 4 pictures and had to label them of where they were taken. They just need evidence for their files. Everyone has to go through this mess.

That is what they wanted from me. I did not include this in my petition when I sent it.

To expidite means they will just re-mail it to you. I would definitely keep on top of this. Time passes by quick.

I am open to answer anything to the best of my ability.

thank you so much... i think they will ask me the same thing. Except for the paspport size picture,i already included that on ourapplication. If they will just re-mail the hard copy why they didnt just tell us that they will do it, why thry need to tell us thatwe will here something from them on friday? God weve wasted two monthssince thry emailed us that we are fot RFE.

Thank youso much
