Yes! we did in Fact. Just to be sure we submitted several more documents. I submitted every document with a comment that we only do this for the RFE, but think that it isn't relevant for the case itself due to our asset only approach. Hoping that this approach makes it easier to expedite the case.
So overall we submitted:
- Statement about evidence of income under "Proof of Work" and that we can not provide evidence for US-based income, but that we provide our foreign income even though we know that it doesn't matter and instead we are using our assets.
- 2 statements, that we also can not provide W2 or 1099 Forms under the respective labels (We don't need these as we're not filing jointly. But we read in other threads that they wanted this.. so now we just want to be 100% sure we don't get another RFE)
- Uploaded past job confirmations under "proof of work" and bank statements for the income (all based in Germany, so for the interview they won't play any role at all...)
- Uploaded a updated Bank Statement about our assets, as we are in the process of moving them to the US and also mention this in the statement about evidence of income. We thought it might help..
We think that probably just the statement for "evidence of income" uploaded under proof of work would have been enough. But we thought that as we're probably resetting the waiting clock we could upload the other things as well just to be sure.
Next thing we are going to try now is submitting a request to expedite our document approval. Maybe this will work in Germany and with a little bit of luck it'll speed things up. We are on a tight schedule where children need to go to schools they have already been approved to at end of August... Maybe the fact, that this still seems to be like an error from NVC + the school thing will convince them to speed things up a bit...
