Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionRFE from California Center
You are a great help, guys!
This is what our plan is:
1. As requested, we'll send them a notarized letter from my husband, as well as notarized copies of our driver's licenses.
2. Allstate car insurance with both names.
3. Rental agreement with both names.
4. And guess we'll have to add our names to each other's bank accounts.
5. 4 or 5 affdavits.
What do you think?

Thank you guys for your kind words! smile.gif
We didn't expect that at all, and Christmas is around the corner blush.gif .
We called Customer Service today, and the agent told us, that "the wrong address is a minor mistake, and it is not the reason for RFE". he also told us to attach a note with the right address when we are ready to resend the package. The weird part is that the official NOA receipts have the right address, it's only RFE letter that has it wrong.
Anyways, since we filed I-751 many things have changed. We moved to NC, so now we do have a rental agreement with both of our names on it, as well as Alltel car insurance with both of our names (I had to renew my Driver's License, and NC state law requires liability insuranse, so we changed it). I guess that's a big plus. We just feel very discouraged, because we do have a real marriage, and it is very disappointing that instead of getting ready for Christmas and New Year's, we have to get the second package ready for USCIS.
Thank you for your support,
Elena and Chris

Send them what they are asking for good.gif

But they also ask for joint financial dosuments, (all of them), affidavits, and proof of residence. We already sent all of that. innocent.gif And should we ask people who wrote affidavits to rewrite them and renotarize them?

We thought it was enough - it obviously wasn't. On top of that, our RFE letter doesn't really specify what they need. It looks like they need everything sent to them one more time. They also require notarized copies of our driver's licenses, as well as a notarized letter from Chris "describing his wishes to pursue this application and detail the current status of the relationship". To make everything even worse, the address specified in RFE does not match our residential address. They got the wrong zip code!!! has anyone been in the same situation? We don't really know where to start. I am under impression, that the address was initially typed in wrong by one of the USCIS representatives, and now the information that they have does not match the information on the documents that we submitted. Should we fisrt call them? Or ask for Info pass? We can resubmit the same documents, but what if they have a different address, and it won't match again?
Thank you very much, any advice will be appreciated.
Good luck to everybody waiting for their green cards, and Happy Holidays! smile.gif
