Yes, include all of it. Write a cover letter explaining what you have included for each item they have requested. If you don't have it explain why. We also got an RFE and my wife's DL had our current address, however mine did not. They didn't specifically request our licenses but I sent them and included in our cover letter that the state of Colorado allows you to simply write in your new address on the back of your DL. We were approved last week.

We used the entire lease. All 34 pages.

Please add me in:

i751: 1/25/16

NOA: 2/08/16

Biometrics: 2/25/16

RFE: 8/30/16

replied to RFE: 11/03/16 (due on 11/22/16)

Question: I used certified mail with return receipt service and I've received the return receipt already. Am I supposed to receive anything from USCIS saying that they already got my RFE docs?

We just got approved after getting an RFE. After we submitted our response we did not receive any updates from USCIS until we were approved. It took a little less than a month from the time they got our RFE response until we were approved. Good luck.

We were approved today!

We got our notice of approval today!

We are approved!!! New card is being produced. We had received an RFE and replied to it on October 14th. So it took about a month after our RFE was received for us to be approved.

USCIS usually has 90 days to respond to RFEs! If it goes beyond 90 days without a response, then an info-pass appointment at your local USCIS office would be the next step! Good luck to you!

Thank you!!

You should have at least received your NOA. Did you get it? Online case statuses don't change much with ROC. You should be seeing a message that says USCIS received your I-751 on such and such date. Pretty soon you should be getting a second notice with biometric appointment. RFEs take longer to be processed...if you're in CSC (Colorado, right?), they won't send one out 5-6 months from your filing date, i.e. if you even get an RFE. Good luck!

I think you misunderstood what I'm asking. We have already received an RFE and responded to it. That is my question, how long does it take to process RFE's once they are received by USCIS?

We sent our RFE package a month ago today, and we still haven't received any updates. Our online case status is still the same. How long does it take USCIS to process RFE's? When can we expect to hear something from them?

I would suggest that you use the reference number on the RFE notice. That number was likely used by the adjudicator working on your file. However, it might be a good idea to reference both your I-751 and CRI89 numbers (as noted on your I-797c ASC biometrics letter) in your cover letter. At least then everyone will be working off of the same page, literally.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

It just seems strange that we would get a completely different WAC # on the RFE. If I search for this new WAC # on the case status online it says it doesn't exist. The original WAC # we got is still working though. I'm just worried they've made a mistake and I don't want it to affect our petition. I'm not sure what to do.

Is it either number? Maybe it's your NOA1 number?

No. It is a completely different WAC #.

Is it the same as your biometrics number?

Sorry, I meant it's not the same as the biometrics # that we got. I feel like something is wrong or they've made a mistake?

We are getting ready to send back more evidence with our RFE. I was putting together the package and noticed the RFE has a different receipt number than our NOA1. Is this normal? Which one should I use to send back our RFE? Thanks.

hey guys. just wanted to update. we received an RFE. totally surprised us. we've been together since 2007, married since 2012. we sent in everything we had and they still sent us an rfe for more proof of bonafide marriage.

here's what we sent:

federal and state tax returns for the last 3 years

joint rental lease

deed to our home that we built last year

joint federal, life, health and dental insurance

joint bank account with statements from the last 3 years

joint credit card

power of attorney and last will for both of us

gym membership statements

2 affidavits from friends

drivers license with same address

pictures from our wedding through now

joint credit card statements

there's more i just don't have my cover letter in front of me. anyways, most of what they asked for we already sent. we don't have anything else to send them and i'm very surprised we got an rfe. i am a federal employee and have her on all of my insurances and we own our home together. i just don't know what else they could possibly want. does anyone have any ideas?

Bank statements?

I sent 2 years worth of all pages of our bank statements.

I'm going to get a power of attorney and will for both of us and get life insurance on my wife. Other than that I don't know what else I can send in.

What exactly is the RFE for?

If it is for several, specific things that you are sure you sent, it is possible they lost it. If it is for something more nebulous like "bonafide marriage proof", then what they are mostly looking for is evidence of financial co-mingling, so joint bills, bank accounts, being listed as eachother's next-of-kin at work etc,

It is for bonafide marriage proof. And it goes on to list things they want.

Insurance information for our car, home, dental and medical....already sent it.

Joint tax returns for the last 3 years for state and federal. already sent it.

Proof of shared residence...I sent the deed to our house and a lease we had prior to purchasing out home. Plus various utility bills in both of our names.

Birth certificate for any children...We don't have any.

Any other evidence of a bonafide marriage. I sent tons of evidence and well put together package with cover letter.

I don't know if I should resubmit the whole package our what. We were shocked we received the RFE.

Hello. My wife and I just received an RFE for our I-751. I am preparing documents for our reply. When I have everything put together do I include everything I sent in with the original package?

I honestly have no idea how we got an RFE, literally everything they are requesting I sent with the original package minus birth certificates of children because we don't have any.

Anyhow, thanks for your help!!

Can someone please add my wife and I to this list? I have no idea where to find this rich text editor and don't want to mess up the list.

We filed through the CSC on 1/24, got NOA1 1/26, had biometrics 4/15. Thank you.

During my AOS my lawyer told me not to submit a seperate letter explaining the arrest record. And i didn't . I just submitted all the court certified documents. Thats it.

Even during my ROC i just sent my court documents.

Both were approved no RFE nothing. And in my case i WAS at fault .

It specifically asks for an explanation. So you're saying I should just submit the final court disposition and say nothing about what happened?

My wife was arrested at our apartment for fighting with our roommate. She's the one who called the police however they still initially arrested and charge her because they were unable to determine who was at fault. Anyhow, the charges were dismissed within 2 weeks and we have certified court records showing the dismissal.

We will be answering yes, that she has been arrested. The form then asks to explain your if you answer yes.

My question is: How much information do we need to divulge about this arrest? Can we just simply state the she was arrested and that all charges were dismissed and to please see our attached court documents? I don't want to get into great detail about it because it wasn't her fault anyhow. Any advice would be great.

Yes. The one removing conditions is the one petitioning for the removal of those conditions. The US citizen is the spouse.

That question 8 really is a doozy since it is the conditional resident whose fingerprints and photos will be taken. What a headache!

Ohhhhh. Well that explains it a little more. I didn't realize my wife (LPR) is the petitioner. Thanks so much for your help.

Notice in part 3 that the conditional resident is removing conditions through a marriage to a US citizen or a lawful permanent resident. Therefore the info for part 4 is related to the person the conditional resident married.

Who is the petitioner on this form? I thought I (the US Citizen) am the petitioner as with the last forms. Is my wife now the petitioner and I am the spouse???

I just wish they would have made the instructions clear before rolling out this new form. I work for the government and I will say I am not a bit surprised.

Notice in part 3 that the conditional resident is removing conditions through a marriage to a US citizen or a lawful permanent resident. Therefore the info for part 4 is related to the person the conditional resident married.

I see that as well. But then look at part 8. It just doesn't make any sense and they included no instructions for a majority of the form which is now 11 pages long.

Spouse ( who could be a U.S citizen or LPR) of conditional permanent resident for whom I751 is being filed should be on Part4.

It seems to me it should be by my wife who is the LPR.

This part is filled out by the spouse who is not removing conditions.

I don't think that's accurate because part 8 then wants the information from part 4. When you fill out part 4 it automatically populates that name (my wifes name into part 8.

Has anyone filled out the new I-751 form? This thing is an absolute mess. A good part of the form has no instructions for it.

Whose information goes in Part 4, the US Citizen or my wife's, the LPR??
