No, you're not the only one, there have been a few, we just haven't been keeping track of them on the list. 

 

Did they give you specifics of what they were looking for? Often there are some suggestions in the RFE notice.

 

Either way, just bury them in paper, if you can - every joint bank/credit card statement, every bill with both your names on it, your (presumably joint) 2016 tax returns, pictures of the two of you together, affidavits from people who know you as a couple (especially professional people like teachers, pastors, lawyers, doctors, etc), updated medical insurance, car titles, leases/mortgage etc.....

 

If you really believe you sent everything, remember that over a year has gone by since you filed; so you might as well send all the same stuff from the past year that you sent before. 

 

The only wrong way to handle this is to be late in sending a response. At this point, worst case scenario you'll get an interview and  you can prove you're "really married" in person. 

 

At least they have your correct address - based on the threads today, that should be a big relief!

Thank you for your reply!

The RFE asks for lease, rental agreement or mortgage.  We don’t have them with both our names on it because my hubby has a criminal record. You know it is impossible to get the lease approved as every apartment complex does background check.

 

we submitted both our driver’s license with the same address.

two years’ tax transcript.

joint credit cards and statements thereof.

 

we submitted all the mails have both our name and address on it (att and joint accounts statements, some electricity bills). 

And  tons of photos for traveling and celebration.

 

there is no way I can get lease rental agreement for RFE.  I don’t know what to do.

New evidence may include updated joint account statements, credit card statements, att statements for both cell and cable.  

My 401k just started in June and I have the beneficiary blank until today. My previous employer didn’t provide 401 k.

 

Life insurance certificate with my hubby’s name on it, but it is fairly new (March, 2017). Many updated photos as well, which may have little to none  help.

 

The attorney is trying to do some affidavits attesting my lease and rental situation, but who knows if it will work.

 

I am super stressed.  My job demands 100% focus but I cannot even fall asleep at all right now. My hubby is very sad to see me like this.

All,

I've been checking my case everyday for the past week. Finally, today status says "New Card Is Being Produced."

Good luck to everyone else!

Well, congratulations on your approval!

I think the June filers put themselves in July because their applications didn't actually arrive at CSC until July.

Thanks!

I understand that your husband cannot be added as a leasee, but can he just be added to the lease contract as an additional resident? When hubby first moved here, my complex would not add my husband as a leasee until he had a pay stub, so I had him listed under additional residents and that seemed to be sufficient for what USCIS is looking for - that you're still living together. Hope that is a possible solution!

Thank you for your reply!

The RFE asks for lease, rental agreement or mortgage.  We don’t have them with both our names on it because my hubby has a criminal record. You know it is impossible to get the lease approved as every apartment complex does background check.

 

we submitted both our driver’s license with the same address.

two years’ tax transcript.

joint credit cards and statements thereof.

 

we submitted all the mails have both our name and address on it (att and joint accounts statements, some electricity bills). 

And  tons of photos for traveling and celebration.

 

there is no way I can get lease rental agreement for RFE.  I don’t know what to do.

New evidence may include updated joint account statements, credit card statements, att statements for both cell and cable.  

My 401k just started in June and I have the beneficiary blank until today. My previous employer didn’t provide 401 k.

 

Life insurance certificate with my hubby’s name on it, but it is fairly new (March, 2017). Many updated photos as well, which may have little to none  help.

 

The attorney is trying to do some affidavits attesting my lease and rental situation, but who knows if it will work.

 

I am super stressed.  My job demands 100% focus but I cannot even fall asleep at all right now. My hubby is very sad to see me like this.

 

At the time we filed ours, our life insurance policies were fairly new too (We took out the policies only 3 months before the date we filed) and no questions were asked. So I think you shouldn't be worried about that part. Can you get a Power of Attorney or Wills? Those can be helpful also.

Do you think getting POA or wills now may be too late?

Thanks for your reply.  I talked to the leasing office.  Unfortunately, they said anyone 18 and older has to go through background and credit check in order to have their names on the lease.  This is driving me nuts.  I just don't understand why USCIS treats us like this.  We just want a peaceful life.  Now both of us are super stressed out.

have the leasing office put that in writing...that they are a private landlord, that they know your husband is living with you in apartment XX on their property located at [...], but they refuse to add him to the lease because on date XX  they ran a background check in him and he did not pass it in accordance with their standards.

It's always better to have them earlier and later, but it is what it is now.  I'd suggest that you bombard them with a ton of new evidence and have your attorney write a thorough letter explaining the lease situation. Power of Attorney can be easily made on sites like legalzoom. Good luck!

That's really weird. Having his name on the lease solely as a resident causes them no harm. So he can live with you without a background check ... then what's the problem with listing him? Sorry, this comment is for me being dumbfounded, not helpful for you.

^^ I would try that, but not the second part. Just an acknowledgment with contact information that has has indeed lived there. Sorta like an affidavit? Maybe get some of those from some close friends/coworkers stating that you've been living together at the same location for the past X years. Yes, affidavits don't carry as much weight as solid evidence, but hey, every little bit helps.

I've scoured the web for filing the N-400 online but I haven't had any luck. Would someone kindly point me to the right direction? A direct link to filing the N-400 online would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance!

Thank you. I created an online USCIS account, however, this is all I can see on the home page:

 

On the image below, it says, "USCIS is currently allowing a small number of applicants to submit their Application for Naturalization (N-400) online. If you are not part of this small group, we will redirect you to the webpage where you can download the paper application. You may then follow the form instructions and submit it by mail." Could this be why I am not able to see the option to file the N-400 online?

That looks weird ,not the screen I use to check my ROC, but I guess that it might just be for the n400.   I know they spent millions so people could file their N400 online and I know they had problems with it at first.  I guess I wont find out until I apply in February. Perhaps the question on the N400 section as I am sure someone there could help you.

Pass.

There is a big 'apply' green button at the top for me, and when I click it, then sign in, it lets me fill out the N-400 form (even though I am not eligible until february).
