After receiving an RFE in September they finally approved my case. The card is mailed and should be here in the next few days.

This is it. I'm so happy I don't have to deal with them anymore...for now at least.

Good luck 🍀 to those who are still waiting (even though I feel like I'm the last one) 😜

Thank you!

 

Well, I sent them the wrong tax information which wasn't enough proof since it had no evidence it was received by the IRS. I didn't really bother with credit card statements either. We have the same credit cards so I thought sending a copy of just the cards should be enough. Also, I was pregnant at the time I sent the application and all I had was a letter from my doctor. To make a long story short.. I just didn't go above and beyond (like I did when I first started the process).

All in all, I was just tired of proving my relationship to strangers just to be able to live here. That's what got me the RFE. I was annoyed at that, but not too worried and took my sweet time to get the information they wanted.

In the letter they gave me a summary of what I handed in (which was good, because I didn't even make copies of the packet) and examples of what they needed to support those documents.

So...

1. We asked the IRS for transcripts

2. I requested 3 random credit card statements for the years we've been married

3. Sent a copy of a new life insurance policy

4. A copy of our child's birth certificate

5. Plane tickets from this summer's vacation, visiting my family

6. 2 pictures of our daughter's christening

 

They received my response on November 1st and approved the case on November 26th.

 

Hope this helps.
