Hey guyes,

 

My USC fiance and I are a bit confused by the RFE we got, so post it below and hope to receive some advice. Any feedback will be very much appreciated. Thanks!

 

FORM OMISSIONS AND CORRECTIONS

 

Omitted Items

Submit evidence of your (petitioner’s) residence for the past five years. Include address and the dates which you resided at each residence.

 

Submit evidence of your employment for the past five years. Include the name of your employer, employer’s address, your occupation, and the start/end dates of your employment.

 

Submit evidence of the beneficiary’s residence for the past five years. Include address and the dates which the beneficiary resided at each residence.

 

 

Our questions:

1.    What are the possible reasons USCIS asked for these? (Just think it might be easier to answer the questions right if we get to know their mind beforehand LOL)

2.    About the evidence of residence, can it be online purchase receipt/bill that has my or fiance’s name, address, and shipping date on it? Or only official documents such as bank statement or utility bills will do? If latter, then I’ll have to get my part translated and certified OMG

3.    My fiancee moved many times for the past five years (8 address in total). For the sake of convenience and privacy, he used to have his mails/bills delivered to his mother’s place, and just changed to his PO box a couple of months ago. Therefore, never/seldom a mail was sent to his residence, which means no mail or bill can verify his residence. Plus, some of his past residence just needed no contracts, so there is literally no paper proof of his residence.  My question is what we should do in this case? Will explaining this situation in cover letter do? 

4.     About the evidence of my fiance’s employment, will tax-related documents or employment letters from employers serve just fine? Any other way suggested/recommended?

The first question is: Did you fill these when asked in the petition?

I found out why they probably did this. Go back to your application form. Did you provide a mailing address? how about the physical address? I remember them stating to provide the physical address if it is different than the mailing address. I left the physical address part blank because my physical address is the same as my mailing address. Now they are wanting to know my physical address for the last 5 years, for both me and my fiance. Its not entirely your fault. The way they worded the application form made it seem like you can skip the physical address part if it is the same as the mailing. But i think they still want you to fill that part out. Thus the RFE  

i got this too. I didnt know this was a requirement? why are they asking this from us? 

True, I don't think there is a site that would provide a very accurate time. Estimate is all we get. Don't be so down if the estimate date gets pushed back, it's only an estimate. Who knows the NOA2 can come sooner.

Where do you see people who received theirs??? We're at California Service center, we got our NOA1 on Aug. 21, do you know of a reliable way to get an estimate for NOA2?

This website. Visajourney. This website has forums with people commenting when they received the NOA1 or 2. 

You can make a profile/timeline. When you update it, this website uses the information to help future filers to know when they would receive their NOA 2...etc. I'd say this website is a good enough predictor.

So, has anyone started seeing May approval dates?  Or still just mid to late April?

Yes, I also saw early May filers report they received their NOA2. As well as mid to late April.
