Help with the RFE

[B&ANZ 134]

Back again with more questions.

 

We filed the I-130 petition online. In the begining of April, we received a wierd RFE saying that our I-130 form was not included when we submitted our evidence. It was done online and if we never sent and paid for the I-130, I have no idea how gave us an RFE for a petition that apparently doesn't exist in their system.

 

The RFE also says they need a wet signature of the I-130 and no photocopies accepted. We immediately mailed out a hand-filled I-130. We have had no account updates since. Others who have responded to the RFE online already received notice that their documents have been recieved. 

 

Its been 22 days since we were issued an RFE. Should we also upload the documents on our USCIS account in the "respond to request" section of the RFE? Or should we just wait? I have called a few times trying to get confirmation that they received our documents, but USCIS is saying they do not issue confirmations, when clearly I see others getting them. Our parcel tracking does say it arrived, but confirmation form USCIS would be nice

Also to update. It says no photocopies allowed, but they are asking for a copy of the original I-130. Does that mean an I-130 with a wet signature? Is this what they are meaning?

we filed online too and received an RFE - one of the point was that they wanted only the signature page of the I-130 with wet signature so I printed just that page, signed and mailed it back to them. If they request a wet signature from you, uploading a copy won't do it. I am yet to find out who receives the RFE (I thought maybe it has to do with Beneficiary's country), so I can't answer the why. Only that it happens

That online filing system must be 🥵

 

Reports about problems with it keep showing up.

I would upload it as well. No harm in doing so.

 

P.S. USCIS announced a "Tools Outage" coming up this weekend will affect online filing: https://www.uscis.gov/news/alerts/tools-outage

Thanks. I am just concerned in sending them our evidence twice (mail and upload) and if that will delay their response. Has anyone uploaded and mailed in their RFE evidence back with success?
