Hello. My wife and I just received an RFE for our I-751. I am preparing documents for our reply. When I have everything put together do I include everything I sent in with the original package?

I honestly have no idea how we got an RFE, literally everything they are requesting I sent with the original package minus birth certificates of children because we don't have any.

Anyhow, thanks for your help!!

What exactly is the RFE for?

If it is for several, specific things that you are sure you sent, it is possible they lost it. If it is for something more nebulous like "bonafide marriage proof", then what they are mostly looking for is evidence of financial co-mingling, so joint bills, bank accounts, being listed as eachother's next-of-kin at work etc,

It is for bonafide marriage proof. And it goes on to list things they want.

Insurance information for our car, home, dental and medical....already sent it.

Joint tax returns for the last 3 years for state and federal. already sent it.

Proof of shared residence...I sent the deed to our house and a lease we had prior to purchasing out home. Plus various utility bills in both of our names.

Birth certificate for any children...We don't have any.

Any other evidence of a bonafide marriage. I sent tons of evidence and well put together package with cover letter.

I don't know if I should resubmit the whole package our what. We were shocked we received the RFE.

Bank statements?

I sent 2 years worth of all pages of our bank statements.

I'm going to get a power of attorney and will for both of us and get life insurance on my wife. Other than that I don't know what else I can send in.

Those additions should do it! At least you know that they looked at your file! Good luck.

Mahalo/Salamat!

You Mentioned that you will get a power of attorney and will for you and your wife plus a life insurance and list yourself as beneficiary? My question goes to you and any one who has gone through RFE and has some experience. I myself I received an RFE and am gathering more evidence. Here it goes: can you create or make a new evidence after receiving and RFE? Will that not seems suspicious to the IO? I know that some people like me might not know about all the evidence you need to get before filing Form I-751 let alone expect receive an RFE! Your thoughts will be appreciated.
