These people are the best at this. Tell them exactly what the letter is requesting and they'll do it right and quickly.

You only get one chance at an RFE so evaluate what is going meet their requirements.  

Thanks!

They also asked for Affidavits or Sworn written statements. Do you think those need to be notarized as well? or is it okay if they are just sworn statements?

We did the same thing. In my fiance's country for example public notare wont sign a paper in less it's an official document like birth certificate etc. In my case we used letter from friends with their signature and copy of their ID and their address and phone numbers so they can see people are open to answer more questions if they feel like. 

Did they ask you to translate their ID's? Or were they already in english?

Hey everyone!

I need to submit an English Translation for Passport stamps and a Visa. In the RFE I was sent, it only said that it needs to be a certified translation, but should I have it notarized? Or is it okay if it's only certified? I just want to make sure not to make any mistakes with my response to the RFE.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Hey guys,

Some of you replied to my concerns about the proof photos to resubmit for my RFE. Thank you so much!

But I also have another question;

They mentioned affidavits of friends or family. In my original K1 packet I included witness statements, but they were not notarized or sworn statements. My question is; do they have to be notarized? Or can they just be sworn statements? The RFE doesn't mention anything about them being notarized, but isn't that what an Affidavit is? I'm confused.

Thanks so much!

@Sarge2155 His advice is also good.

 

Suggestion:

 

Have them professionally printed at a local pharmacy or whatever.  Then, in a 8.5" x 11" tape two to a page.  I typed all of the information on mine.  So, it looked like two pictures per piece of paper with their information as titles.  Don't use too much tape.  I only used a single piece to the back of the photo to hold in place.  That worked for me!

Thank you!!

USCIS works in strange ways yes write the information on each picture on the back of the picture! Not quite the same thing on the front maybe you covered some portion of the picture with your writing, not real sure just write it on the back. Are these photo quality pictures or did you print them from your phone to paper? Maybe downloading them to a jump drive and having them professionally done at say any photo place might give them what they need. Yes I put my information on the back of the photos in addition to the date stamp on the front.

Thanks!

I personally printed them as physical photos and added all the information down to a T.  So, who was in the picture, date and time, and exact location.  I felt that the more information I added, the more they knew I had a way of proving it (my mobile phone has the stamps so I have proof) if they were to want additional proof of what I was saying.

Thanks so much for your reply!

Unfortunately my phone doesn't have the date stamps on the actual photo, so I don't know how I'm going to provide them with that, but I will definitely go and print them and put more detail. 

Question; did you put the information on the back of the printed photo?

Thanks again!

Hi everyone, 

I received a RFE today, in my original packet I sent copies of photos and put the date they were taken under each photo. In the RFE is said that they "Cannot verify the dates the photos were taken", what should I do? Should I print them and write the dates on the back? Isn't that basically the same thing? 

Please give me any advice that you may have.

Thank you all.

Can anyone tell me which number to call if I want to inquire about my case status. Thanks

He needs to try to get the exemption. My fiance was asked for the card during the interview and says that it is extremely important and my fiance also says that someone without exemption or service record will cause trouble for him either during the interview or later (when trying to visit Algeria)

 

Edit.....my fiance was 40 years old when he was interviewed for the k1 visa.

Hi

 What if my fiance is too young to be exempted? (he's 28) Does he have to serve in the military before coming to the states? Will they not give him the visa if he has no proof of being exempted or a military card? Is there no way around it? He's the youngest of two brothers, when he went to go ask to be exempted, (because he takes care of his parents) they told him that because he is the youngest of two brothers, and because his brother didn't serve, that he has to go. Any information would really help. 

Thanks

Hello, I know they ask for the Military Certificate (with translation) or exempted notice.  Even if they don't ask for these documents at interview,  he might have a problem when returning to Algeria in the future for not compleating this mandatory service.  I hope someone can have a better answer on how to get the exempted notice before his interview.  

Thanks for your reply, it's really confusing and difficult to find a solution, but hopefully we'll find one.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for someone who is familiar with the Algerian consulate, I would like to know what documents they ask for from the beneficiary after the i-129f approval to bring to the interview. 

Thanks
