SEND PICS of the weadding wit families and friends . Send the entire album if you can . Create a Facebook tell your wife or husbando to do the same Enter Marry status Print profile page .

Also you can ask your family to write and Notarize a Letter in wish they will admit that they know about your relationship and weadding and they Know is a true weaddin and that is for LV ect.

Also send a copy of the Marrige Certificate make a copy of the Folio the big contract Like document they give in Colombia .

Remember send copies and Make sure all Spanish Documents are transalted by agencie and with expert translation notification.

Make copies of transalations you will need them for NVC process also

That should clean that REF

Good Luck

Thank you for your response. Yes, I sent copies of our wedding albums and pictures of all of my visits. My parents also sent a notarized letter confirming knowledge of the marriage and wedding. All documents in Spanish were translated to English.

Just wondering - I looked at your timeline, did you received the RFE on the same day CSC received your I-130? If so, then it is a fresh case i.e the 5-6 months as advised by USCIS. Without knowing what the RFE is for, it appears there was some very obvious omission so much that they could not even start on your petition.

Anyway, other 'more experienced' members may comment differently.

My timeline should be correct. It seems similar, but they took exactly ONE YEAR AND A DAY to send me this additional RFE.

This particular RFE was to show proof of a bona fide marriage. I sent over 200 pages of proof, including pictures and notarized statements.

Please be more specific ?

Your Step? USC ,NVC , Embassy, Adjustment status?

Still at CSC.

Anyone have a general timeline after submitting RFE for bona fide marriage?

if your cases is over do you may contact the uscis at 1-130inquiries,tsc@dhs.gov only 1-130 visas.

how did you come across a contact email? Do you know one for the I-129F?

I will assume you meant to put a period between inquiries and tsc.

Thanks for the email! I'm going to give it a shot.

I think you should make a personal visit to the congresswomans office immediately. Her office is your best bet in helping your case. And be loud make your voice heard! Where is you petition at? CSC or TSC or VSC?

At the California CSC

What would cause such long delays in processing an I-130?

I have been calling every 30/45 days (as they permit) and getting new ticket requests with no feedback. They requested a new photo Nov.2010 and I have received no correspondence since then. I stopped by the Miami Immigration office, but they could only open up MORE service ticket requests.

I also submitted I-129F with receipt date September 23, 2010.

2010-05-04 I-130/NOA1 receipt date

2010-09-23 I-129F receipt date

2010-11-19 Confirm CSC received response to their request for evidence (new photo of Spouse for G-325A)

2010-11-22 Wrote letter to Congresswomen Ileana Ros-Lehtinen for assistance.

2011-02-17 Letter from Congresswomen Ileana Ros-Lehtinen sent to USCIS-Miami.

2011-03-10 Visit to Miami USCIS office. Only able to open new service ticket requests for I-130 and I-129F.
