Ok I have RFE follow up. So as I posted before Feb 2nd mailed I-129fF. Feb 11th NOA1, April 13th RFE notification online (which doesn't specify why RFE). April 18th received RFE hard copy in the snail mail which states they need two passport style photos for both of us. The hardest thing about this is I sent them with the I-129F. The easy part about it is it could be much worse. But to know that I did include our photos and our process is on hold jst makes you scratch your head. I did call them because I thought how lucky would we be if I told them it was there and they looked and said oh never mind we have them right here. Lol I know thats too easy. So during my conversation with them I asked A. did the pics we submit not adhere to guidelines, B. are you saying you see none in my packet or C. did you maybe over look them? Because Im thinking if they did not like the ones I included I definitely don't want to go back to the same photo shop and submit the same ones. Well they weren't able to tell me anything. I thought maybe if something was deficient they would attach an electronic note to your case like photos missing or photos not to specifications etc. All they said was "we need passport photos". So heads up to everyone no matter how diligent or prudent you are about putting your packet together by the USCIS guidelines your chances of getting RFE are greater than you think. I have a friend who is now here with her husband and received RFE during their process for items that they too had included in their original packet. I believe I have also seen people on here say they were RFE'd for items they had already included. Not sure why this is happening but everyone jst be ready for it. Hope this helps. I plan on getting new photos out in the mail this week so hopefully we will be out of RFE status by the end of next week. Good luck to everyone still in the holding pattern!

#kaze Check out this video I made I think it has some helpful info for you. Actually two of the three websites I cite in it I think will help you a lot. Watch till the end because I show pics of the website that will answer a lot of your questions. Some of it is Philippines specific but the majority of it is applicable to any K1. Hope this helps! Take care and good luck on your LDR! 
 
 

#CMandS if you have any questions regarding the future steps in your K1 journey check out the (3rd) website I mention in this video. Its super detailed and Its specific to the Philippines. It helped us a lot! Good luck!
 
 

Agreed with above. While some pay an agency with attorney backing (which is a lot cheaper still than hiring a lawyer by themselves), if you're case is simple with no major flags or anything then you might as well save the money and do it yourself. 

Please do not.  Unless he has prior legal issues or has come to the US and overstayed his stay here.  If you explore this website, you will see details on how to go about filling out the forms and if you not sure about something, just ask! A lawyer is just a waste of money and most of the time, they do not do anything to help your case.  
 
 

I agree with pch1! I also wondered if we should hire a lawyer. But then realized the lawyer will ask me for everything anyway and I will pay him for what, his secretary to type the info? I gathered all the necessary stuff and made 3 identical binders in one day. One for USCIS, one for my fiancee and one for me as a backup. We have been approved and now only have to complete the medical and interview. We filed 2/2/16. My fiancee also has no numerical address. Hers is like "blue house jackson st" lol and we had no issues. Immigration knows things are different in SEA than the US. Don't worry if you can read and don't mind asking for help when in doubt you will be fine and it will save you 1500-3000. Good luck!

If it were an American woman in his shoes people would be all over it telling her to go to a shelter and get a protection order. But, because he is a man, they should try and work it out?

The possibility is high considering that instructions on G-325a are straightforward.
There's no need for him to send it to you via usual mail tho. if you have digital version of his passport pic you can print it yourself (6 2x2 pics on 4x6 print for ~30 cents at CVS)
This is absolutely not true. if you got RFE usually and most likely it's for obvious reasons.
