Should I use the enclosed envelope for RFE

[littlechicken 0]

Hi everyone,

Probably a silly question but just reaching out to the community for input. Our RFE package is ready to mail. The USCIS included a business size envelope to use when we mail our stuff. They wanted three things. 1) Fiancé's signed letter of intent to marry me when he arrives 2) Circumstances of our meeting 3) Last personal meeting. I've created a lot more pages of stuff to support our case and can see that it will not fit in the envelope! It's 5 pages of information but then I want to add more just to support our case

My plan was to use additional supporting evidence and it's the following: 6 more pages from ticket stubs of all the trips to see my fiancé. Copy of all pages of my passport to prove the many times I've traveled to see him in 2015. 4 pages of photos that I've copy and pasted onto a word document. Work orders that show I lived and worked in the country during the time we met and began our relationship. 1 page of our joint bank account.

Can I just use a big brown envelope and tape the small envelope to the front of it? Or, should I just remove the many other airline ticket stubs and passport pages, except the one that has my newest stamp? What would you do? Do you think that enclosed envelope really matters?

Your suggestions are appreciated!

When we submitted our RFE for additional ROC "marriage bonafides" evidence, I included the blue RFE notice on the top of the over three pounds of evidence. Since obviously the submitted evidence was more than could fit in the provided RFE reply business size envelope, I placed the reply envelope behind the blue RFE notice, and submitted all of it in the appropriately sized USPS Priority Mail shipping box.

Though, I would suggest that you leave out the joint account statement. You want evidence that will show that she is your fiancee, not your spouse. It may raise unnecessary questions.

YMMV.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Ok, thanks for the suggestions. I never considered a joint bank account as a sign of marriage but will take that in consideration.

Moved from K1 Process & Procedures to USCIS Service Centers forum; topic is about submitting documentation to USCIS which is applicable to multiple processes.

From what ive read in forums everyone suggests to only send exactly what is requested in the RFE.

Thank you all for the responses. Since it was split 50/50 I called the service center and the woman said that I can use a bigger envelope and that's what I'm going to do.

Sounds good!

What happened? I'm running into the same problem. Won't fit with the additional evidence I want yo send. There is a barcode on the envelope they sent but no blue RFE paper as mentioned.
