Questions about RFE

[stevo 0]

Hello!

I just got my RFE letter today and I have some questions on it. any advice would be helpful. The RFE is requesting more evidence of meeting beneficiary in person preceding the filing of the petition. I do not have copies of my airline tickets, but I did send an Itinerary and boarding passes from my return trip as well as a baggsge calim sticker with the corresponding flight number and date including year. I sent 8 photos of my fiance and I, which i wrote the date and location in back of. I aslo sent a copy of the hotel registry receipt showing that we stayed in the same room at the hotel on the same dates. These are in Portuguese and English, I am going to resend them as well as fully transalated copies. I did not send copies of my passport and stamped pages but I intend to do so with the RFE. I am not sure if the photos need to be resent due to the fact that it seems they want the dates to be film dated. I am not quite sure what they mean by this but I am guessing it has to have a digital date stamped on them. Las of all I am going back to Brasil in 2 weeks and I am wondering if I should wait and send proof of that trip as well, even though the request is asking for proof preceding the filing of the petition. Oh one last thing my request did not ask for the benificiary's birth certificate, which I did not send. I noticed on some other threads some people were asked for this. I never reas anywhere that it was required and I am wondering whether to obtain it for fear of being sent another RFE requesting it. Thnaks for amy input.

Hi,

I'm not an expert at this but I have gone through the process you're going through now. If your pictures don't have the date imprinted you can download a free program that will do it for you, http://snipclik.com/. The program will use the time stamp in the pictures as the date. If you have the pictures in digital format you're set (if not then I'm not sure how you can do it.) Finally print the pictures at Walgreens or Costco or wherever they take digital prints. I believe any pictures up to 2 years old will be ok.

excellent!

Do you not have passport stamps for your visit?

sounds to me like thats enough evidence you sent there now. and i totally agree with you when you say rfe is very vague. an attorney once told me that the notices are very generic they didnt sit there and write it directly to you its sent to everyone with similar situations so its your job to figure out what parts of it actually applies to you. good luck

I received a similar RFE, and had to send copies of bank / credit card statements showing purchases / cash withdrawals for the dates I was in Bangkok. Did you send these?
