N400 test pass but RFE

[kenh86 1]

Hi, my wife just had the interview today and she pass the 3 parts of the test. The officer gave her a paper stating a decision cannot be made now. They need more documentation for the pass 3 years but some documents I am unable to provide or not applicable. Will her case be denied if I provide some of the documents needed? Thanks!

What documents did they ask for? If you have a valid reason to why you can't submit asked for documents you should be fine....

They needed joint bank statement, credit card statement, mortgage, health insurance, insurance (auto, life, etc.), utility, cancelled checks. Everything from 2013-2015. the utility bill, health insurance, I can get from beginning of 2014. The mortgage doesn't have my wife name because when I applied for mortgage, the bankers said that since my wife does not have credit, it would effect me from applying. If I add her now, I would have to refinance or add her name to it only if she has a job which she doesn't. We also don't have cancelled checks because I manage all the bills and I don't write checks due to the fact I can pay my bills online.

I don't understand why they need some of those bank statements since we mailed them in along with the application. Also we have a child together, file taxes together, pictures, and that should be enough for marriage in good faith.

Provide them with what you do have, as much as possible. For any missing information/documents write an affidavit explaining why you cannot provide these details (example: My wife is not listed on the mortgage because at the time of securing the mortgage she had very low credit and was not employed). As long as you lay everything out for them and give an explanation you will be fine. Make sure your affidavit is notarized and make sure you give this all to USCIS well before the deadline! All the best!

If worst case scenario, they denied the case, will she be able to apply again without any trouble?

I also ask the officer there before we left the office, that instead of mailing in the documents, I can just bring it into the immigration office. Hopefully the documents that I have will be sufficient.

If denied, she can reapply. The reason for the initial denial will be reviewed, but does not mean that she will be denied again.

But you're getting ahead of yourself; submit as much of what they asked for as you can and you should be fine. Include anything that shows that you are living together; health insurance or car insurance with both your names on it, receipts for flights you took together, etc. I assume you already submitted a copy of your child's birth certificate.

applying for citizenship using the 3-year rule , right?

There's more rules of documentary evidence, must paint a picture of a sustained marriage across those 3 years. It's the same pile o stuff for the RoC Casefile, showing financial co-mingling.

Domicile paperwork is just 1 thing. You mentioned a mortgage but what about a deed ?

as to bank stuff - if it's a JOINT account, well, there's 3 years worth of monthly statements (in lieu of cancelled checks) that they can see. Not get a joint account? Oh man, I don't know what to tell you - there's no way back at this date in the calendar, to fix that.

I would suggest that you gave over bits and pieces, and not complete/total on some things. If you not have joint accounts for utilities, ie - both names on the bills, then that's a big problem as well.

I suggest this - go over, here in your topic, what you submitted for the Removal of Conditions Casefile (if she wasn't IR-1 at first entry) then we can make more suggestions.

it's possible for drop off, if'n you got the adjudicator's full name. If that's the case, write the adjudicator's name on the outside of the big envelope, drop it into the drop box, carefully telling the guards at the front door that you want to put something into the drop box.

It's a hit and miss sometimes! Just like you we sent in taxes, the kids birth certificates, some pictures and just some random copies of various joint memberships and we had no issues.

We don't have joint bank accounts because my husband thinks banks are crooks LOL! So he hasn't had one in years! It's never been an issue.

But all you can do now is try to gather up whatever they need.

If you haven't already, consider submitting Wills, medical powers of attorney, and similar documents. These are good evidence but are even more crucial to have in "life."

Right now, I've gather the health insurance for 3 years, the bank statements, the cancelled checks that I've found, the utilities from coned (too bad I don't have the 2013 statement in my coned account anymore, and they take so long to reply back for it when I requested one.) Even though I don't have the mortgage under her name due to circumstances, hopefully with the bank account will be sufficient enough that proves we live together and share finances together.

, that's basically what we did since we mail in the package when applying for N400. I'm surprise you guys got it easy.

I have until March 11th to submit the documents. Those seems like a long time obtain. When it comes to these like applying for N400 and the USCIS request the documents they need, I become very impatient and wanting to get it done over with. I just can't wait any longer.
