RFE Notice

[cwatkins69 0]

Hello Everyone

First time to post here and I wished I had known about Visa journey before I sent my I-129F packet in and I would prbly not be with a RFE today.

I went at it with only the guidelines @ USCIS provided and guessed when I had question. My RFE is for Proof of Intent to marry. I sent in my notarized Intent to marry along with our conversions when and where we was to marry when she got here so now I know I need her Intent to marry and if anyone could give me some more info to add to this, it would be greatly appreciated. ( We have no engagement ring ). The other part of the RFE is submit two identical passport style photos of me only. My question is I sent in two passport style of her and two of me in 5x6 instead of 2x2 so should I go ahead and send two of her in 2x2 along with mine even though the RFE says me only. I was so worried i had made many mistakes after learning so much here and I had no help and never done this before but these 2 errors was all the RFE consisted of. Thanks in advanced for any help and my beneficiary is Filipino. Thanks again and good luck to all going thru this journey!

I would definitely recommend taking the time to read through the guides pinned at the top of this forum and then posting again if you have any specific questions. Good luck!

Hi,

I received an rfe also this morning via text message so i havent received the formal letter fr the uscis yet. I know that its probably for the Letter of intent to marry because neither me or my fiance included this in our original petition. So just to clarify, the letter of intent from the beneficiary abroad DOES NOT need to have the original signature? It can just be scanned with the beneficiary's signAture to me and i can mail the copy? Does it have to be notarized? Thanks! Oh, and my beneficiary is also from the philippines (the same as the person who posted this topic)

Notarization = no

If you read the I-129 instructions by USCIS bottom of page one it states if original signature is specifically requested then copies are ok. Now some say that the reviewers at USCIS have sent out an REF requesting original signature omelette of intent from beneficiary. I had my fiancee the beneficiary sign her letter scan and email to me and we did not have a problem.

Now if I understand the second part of your question about passport size 2x2 photos. If younare sure you failed to send correct size. Personally I would go ahead and include them in your response I would put them in a zip lock bag with the name of person on the back on them. Type or hand write a note and sign and date it. Stating you believe you included the wrong size in the original application and was including them just in case.

Yes definitely read the instructions on VISAJOURNEYS the are very helpful but remember the instructions posted by the USG on their site although not clear are the official ones.

Remember opinions vary on here.

You don't need an original signature. I speak from experience.

Im from Romania and have sent my int to marry via email to my fiance, it was a scan, also the form with biometr, there is no need for u to send her original papers, just scan after she signs it, on the other hand she will need several papers from u to the interv on the Ambassy, all originals, not certified copies, originls, ur intend to marry original, aff of suport and proof(paystubs, letter from ur employer,banck acc, etc), ur birth certf or naturalization ( these can be copies), divorce papers if there is neces(certf copy from court), noa2 and a copy of the petition u sent to uscis with the last page with the original sign also ur G form signed plus ur relationship evidence

So, dont worry, i have my noa2 and have sent all of my papers scaned, none is original, after ur petition will be ok u will have to make another int to marry for her with a date much closer to her interv, she will have to do the same!

Good luck and dont stress urslfs, it will be ok!!

Yes you can send her 2x2 photos too.

Signature has to be original, dont listen people who say that original signature isnt needed.

Be sure she send you an original letter of intent and signed in original for her no scan.

INTENT TO MARRY from both of you! A must have.

2X2 passport photos of you - only send what USCIS requests.

Once you get past the petition phase and moving toward the embassy phase jump over to the Philippines forum, good folks to assist you with the process in Manila: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/129-philippines/

Thank you for all the info! One of my questions when getting the packet together was the signature on her (I believe it was the G 325 Form). It did say original signature! I was not sure how to do it but I e-mailed it to her, she printed and signed it, scanned it and e-mailed it back to me and their was nothing in the RFE about it was not the original signature so i'm guessing its ok. I'm still baffled on why they accepted her 5x6 passport pic and not mine.

Thanks again and Good Luck!

I think you can get more than one RFE so this may still crop up as an issue later, but there are people on VJ who have also submitted scanned copies with no issues so fingers crossed this won't be the case! Good luck!
