Hi,

 

Finally I received a RFE copy by fax (the actual letter should be lost in mail). I would call this is a stupid RFE though...

 

It requested me to provide a name change proof (evidence must be registered with civil authority) of my name, the petitioner. I put my English nickname on I-130 where it asked other name was used. My legal name has never been changed and I have never put this nickname on any of my legal documents.

 

My question is how I should respond to my RFE? Can I write a letter explain my name situation? And submit the Affidavits from my brother and dad for supporting?

 

Thank you.

I wouldnt have put anything but any other legal name there.  I used several last names during school but never a legal name change so I didnt place them in this spot.  Im not even sure how you answer this other than a statement saying you placed a nickname not a legal name in that column.

Correct, had you added the word "nickname" in the initial filing, this could have been avoided.  Just write a letter explaining it was only a nickname, and has never appeared on any documents.

Thank you NikLR and pushbrk. Will write a letter by myself. Do I still need to have Affidavits from my brother and dad to support this?
