RFE after sending I-175 last year- Advice?

[bzabelina 2]

Hey everyone, 

 

I wanted to get some feedback on what my husband and I have assembled for the additional evidence that was requested. My husband also posted on this last week...

 

What I would like to know is if it's okay to highlight certain pieces of information in the papers we are sending, like names and dates to catch their attention. I feel like this would make things easier but I just wanted to make sure this was okay. 

 

Do we need to resend the I-175 form?

 

My husband's Green Card extension is expiring in February 2018, do you think they'd be able to process our case before that point?

 

Also, would you also be able to let me know if the below looks alright?

 

This is what we were able to gather (in order of appearance in the package):

 

• RFE's letter first page.
• Cover letter detailing all the attached evidence, including explanations for every item.
• Copy of our last year's lease, the one that we sent them already, except this time we highlighted both our names on it.
• A letter from our last year's landlord, confirming that we were both living at that address.
• Homeowners' insurance for the old address with both our names on it.
• A letter from this year's landlord, confirming that we are living at our current address.
• A new lease for next year with our current landlord, with both our names on it.
• Bank statements from a joint account dating back to 2015, when my husband was added to the account and up until now, including every single expense and showing the co-mingling of the assets.
• Credit card statements for the past two years, showing all the expenses.
• A letter from our bank, explaining that my husband was added to the credit card as an authorized user, because the credit card statements only have my name, despite us both using it.
• Tax return statement from 2015 and 2016, showing that we filed our taxes jointly and also showing our addresses. (We've already sent them the 2015 one, but somehow they assumed it was from 2014)
• My family's phone bill with my husband added to it.
• My job's benefits explanation paper, showing my husband as my beneficiary on my life insurance.
• Plane tickets receipts and hotel reservation for our trip back in May.
• Dental bills from 2017 showing both our names on them. (We've already sent them our dental insurance policy before)
• My mother in law's letter, notarized and translated, stating that we lived together in her apartment back in Moscow before moving to Korea together.
• My former employer's statement from Korea, explaining that we lived together in an apartment he provided while I was working there.
• Receipts of the flowers my husband sent to me at work several times.

 

Thank you very much!

IN our initial filing I used the post it notes arrows to point out things we wanted them to see. This way when things are scanned in to the system there are no problems with the highlighted items not being able to be read.

So is it okay to write notes for them in post-it notes or no?

We just used the pot it arrows to point to things we wanted then to notice. We did no clutter the forms up with notes just pointed to things we wanted them to see.

Hi All, just wanted to post an update saying that the documents worked. The green card extension was approved in mid January!
