Stupid RFE I received Jan 14th. Proof of divorce (I do believe dissolution is different somehow?) 
 
I immediately checked over the copy of the packet I sent them. There was a document. Dissolution of marriage with a judges signature on page 8 of 9. I begin feeling very confused here. I start googling divorce decree and final judgements. It seems like this should have been what USCIS needed. So I determine the best course of action would be to check with the courts. (I had the documents emailed to me from the clerks) 
 
I went to the court office before I called and inquired about the document needed.  I got a new divorce degree/final judgement , stamped and certified. The clerk said this is the most official document you can get and there is no other file they have.  This was the same damn document I submitted originally! 
 
I give USCIS a call as I am in complete disbelief. I asked them if this is the correct document as I had already submitted it. The reply was  " Yes , well they may ask for another document of the same for comparison. " I asked what are they going to compare it with as it is the exact file the court office gave me previously. She said she cant answer that and just submit the file. There is nothing more to do , it is in the officers hands. 
 
I will send the file in today, but boy is this crazy, frustrating and confusing.  The hope is they actually lost it somehow because there is no other form for me to get! 
 
What file did any of you who where divorced send in? 
 
Losing my mind here...

We sent certified copies the first time and they said they didn't receive them and so we resent them. I'm in Oregon. It's so upsetting we are at 56 days and no Word from them!

It's very normal to be stopped and searched at the US/Canadian border. I've been search 7 out of 9 times I have traveled between in the past year. It's crazy but they never have anything on me, some people just get singled out more. But definitely do NOT lie. They live for catching liars. 

Thanks for this. My husband was not doing anything wrong or suspicious, they just searched his car, found nothing out of the ordinary, and he went on his way. I figured that was pretty standard for crossing the border. 

***** VJ does not condone, advice on, or support illigal immigration activity, and that includes discussion of lying to immigration officials.  This discussion stops here. *****

Ok.whatever they will ask you and spouse tell only truth.if they catch you whit lie forget about papers .prepare papers whatever you are can. If they ask him about border only truth.if they have his fingerprints they know so if they ask him about something only truth . Learn together about everything what are you share together,house,car,work,.
 

Lying is what will get you in trouble. 
 
Just be honest.

It's common knowledge on here that they're underfunded/understaffed/overworked with caseloads.  They do not receive government funding and work strictly off of our fees.
 
it can hurt to ask as she could lose her ability to visit anymore before her visa comes.  The wrong day and border guard and they could turn her right around.  You could have all of the documentation in the world and it could happen.  It's happened to many a Canadian on here before myself included 

Morning we have a lawyer, my pd is September 16, 2016 and our case is at Potomac service center.
We had the same problem.
When USCIS received our paperwork, we waited almost 2 months to get the AOS1 in the mail. I don’t know why it took so long.  
March 21, 2017 we got an update on USCIS saying the mail returned back to USCIS because the post office couldn’t deliver the mail.
 
 My lawyer request a copy of the letter. We waited and still never get the letter then they request it again and all I saw was on April 14, 2017 RFE was received and Potomac will begin to work on your case again.
 
I don’t know if they ever did get the letter and what RFE they needed from us.
 
Today we still waiting to be approved yeah I know we have 30-60 days to be approved.
 
You need to call them and let them know you never received the letter.
 
On my app I saw 3 RFE was mailed on April 10 2016 and May 10, 2016.
 
USCIS is just simple it hard, why they can’t just email the RFE instead mailing it. They know they will have more RFE  to review then it is now because they is mail it and not everyone will get it plus the mailing is delay sometimes.
 
by the way Kynight make a timeline so we can get a better understand for timeframe and when to expect to get approved etc well not for USCIS but for all of us.
