Literally don't see the point in this post. You intentionally sent insufficient documents and got an RFE. How is this in anyway
a worthwhile experiment? I'm pretty sure most people on this forum understand that this is what's going to happen
if you don't end USCIS everything they need.
Plus, like you said. Everyones case/situation is different. Even if you had not gotten the RFE, if another person had
applied for ROC using the same evidence you sent the first time, then the chance of them getting an RFE is still there..

Well, I'm not sure if I believe you sent very little information because you " wanted to see if all the evidence was necessary" - risking an RFE, interview, and possible denial. Had your scant evidence not have triggered an RFE, it would have been a poor example to anyone else who was trying to prepare evidence to bolster their case. You claim you did this on purpose (odd?) yet you say not submitting the 2012 taxes was a mistake. So which was it? Your documents were not lost. You sent too little and they were asking you to make an honest and serious re-submission.
There is something very strange about your post. Maybe I'm just not sure what your intention is/was.

Out of curiosity, if he's already spent two years here why not remain in the U.S. for another year after removing conditions and then apply for citizenship? Once that's done you can live anywhere you want for any period of time without losing any benefits or privileges.
