After I got RFE'ed from TSC on April 7, 2007 and replied to the RFE on April 19, 2007, I just got an email saying that the card production was ordered.

Someone had the theory that you will be RFE'ed anyway if you went through Dallas Rapid Program and will be also invited to an interview anyway since the interview for the AOS was waived (something like that). This is obviously not true. So nobody who had their AOS through Dallas and the rapid program should be worried and think that they have to go to an interview no matter what.

Anyway, good luck with the lifting of conditions! I am certainly glad I am done with that. :dance:

Seriously I had no idea what we got RFE'd for. The letter included a list of suggested documents for further evidence, but most mentioned pieces of evidence was printed in bold and in front of each piece of evidence was a short line where you would expect a checkmark if this document was required. Nothing was checkmarked, everything was printed in bold (even the evidence for military records that I obviously dont have) and even evidence that I already had sent with my original application (like health insurance, joint financial records ...) was on the list again. So basically I had no clue what they want. Other than the fact that I forgot to enclose bank statements with the application, I couldn't think of anything else (since the RFE was so vague - to say the least) and I sent everything in that might be useful. And everything that might be useful ended up in being almost 200 pages :devil: . So if you don't tell me what you want, you will have to deal with the things that I think you might want.

There are other folks here though who get RFE'd for specific documents. I would have preferred that too instead playing the guessing game :jest:, but in the end it worked out and we got approved around a month after we submitted the response to the RFE.

My actual RFE letter is here:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...43&hl=doyle

I didn't have all of the stuff they asked for, and so similarly to the OP, I am sending in approx 150 - 200 pages of information.

What is this "Rapid Program" you spoke of? i'm not aware of it as my wife and I will file for our I-751 Jan'07 (ya, we are trying to prepare early, since we aren't using lawyer this time - we used lawyer for K1, AoS, etc.)

When you file for AOS and you are in or around Dallas, you can make an Infopass appointment, bring your AOS application and supporting documents and can have the AOS interview the same day as you file your application. It is pretty practical in my opinion. Other cities/districts might have a similiar program, too, but I couldn't tell you exactly where.

Hope it helps!
