Confused with our RFE

[belinda63 3,055]

The translation statement is a blanket statement for everyone. The RFE is wanting evidence you met in person in the last two years (from the date of filing). If you haven't then weren't qualified to file the I-129F.

There is a note on top of our RFE that goes like this :

• "All foreign language documents must be submitted with complete word-for-word English translation. The translator must certify that the translation is complete and accurate, and that he or she is competent to translate. Do not submit the English translation without the foreign language document."

Question: I am a Filipino and English is like our second language. I don't have any documents submitted to USCIS that is in any other language. Should i write my written statement in our own language and have it translated into English?

Here's a brief background about me and my fiance.

Jeff, my fiance (the petitioner) and I (beneficiary) are both Filipinos. We've been together (2005) long before he migrated to the US in the year 2007 (thru his father) We have two children. One born before he went to the US and one conceived during his vacation here. He's a US citizen now. He had his oath of naturalization last year (2013). He filed I-130 for our kids and I-129f for me.

Our RFE:

• Circumstances of meeting
• Last Personal Meeting

Question:

When my fiance filed the I-129f we included a statement on how we met and stated the times we've been together (his vacations). And this was supported with his passport stamps, airline tickets and boarding passes, photos, letter of intent (both of us) I don't understand why they would ask for this again. What can we send back to CSC to answer this RFE. I'm losing confidence with this. Do you have any suggestion on what else can we send them as a primary evidence?

Any response would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Were these meetings within the past two years (from the date you filed the I-129F)? That is the requirement the I-129F and may be why they are asking.

The foreign documents translation thing is a standard statement, as long as everything you submitted was in English there are no issues.

Thank you everyone for your response.I really appreciate the insights you're all giving us. We will submit a statement/affidavit stating the reason why he was not able to come here (proving extreme hardship on his side). He was on probation with his job and it's a really good job which will be the means of support for us and our two children when we get there. We'll just have to have faith that it'll work. If it doesn't we will follow this advice below. Thank you so much.

K1 approvals agre voi g really fast at the moment ) ... So I would advise him to get his but over there to meet the requirement, then file ASAP.... You could be together by October..
