Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	RFE	QUOTE (Chanchan @ Sep 10 2007, 06:38 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I did not get my biometric letter yet ... got my NOA1 3 weeks ago already ... just as well I am flying home to visit saturday for 2 weeks ! I would hate to re-schedule ................. Did you read today more people got RFE so it is the new trend ? The bio appointment shouldn't take too long now ... More RFE's? Maybe the adjudicators received new guidelines....	silvanski	Male	Belgium	2007-09-12 02:24:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	RFE	QUOTE (Chanchan @ Sep 9 2007, 08:47 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I see you went to Houston for your biometrics this time ? Didn't you do to San Antonio first time for AOS ? That's right. I don't know why they asked me to go to Houston this time... It didn't matter as it's roughly the same distance from where we live. A buddy of Kathleen's son and a brother-in-law will provide letters of support to include in the stuff for the RFE	silvanski	Male	Belgium	2007-09-10 00:01:00

As long as the service address is the same, it serves as evidence of joint residence. So, send it in. Good Luck! Right-oh, will do that... I've already got a pile of paperwork to send them	silvanski	Male	Belgium	2007-09-09 13:33:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	RFE	QUOTE (pj1959us @ Sep 8 2007, 06:38 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Send the utility bills; even though in only one name they do at least show each of you at the address. I don't know what all you sent but even send driver's licenses, junk mail with each of your names, etc. Hope you figure out what to send and good luck from here on out! PJ They have copies of our driver's licenses.. that was one of the first things I put on my list	silvanski	Male	Belgium	2007-09-08 19:01:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	RFE	Heeey chanchan I hope yours passes smoothly... it just might :-) Yeah, it's frustrating... being convinced we sent a well documented case... the RFE doesnt' specify what exactly it is they still wanna receive... OK we didn't send utility bills cuz the cable is in my name and electricity is in hers... but we got a joint car insurance and bank account showing both our names in the address portion... my wife is listed as beneficiary on my health and life insurance... We didn't send affidavits... look we don't know that many people and really don't wanna bother them with that	silvanski	Male	Belgium	2007-09-08 18:00:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	RFE	QUOTE The February 16, 2005 new RFE Memo directs an adjudicator to issue an RFE, rather than a NOID, if a necessary piece or pieces of evidence are missing. According to the Memo, "the highest quality RFE is one that limits the request to the missing evidence. Generally, it is unacceptable to issue a RFE for a broad range of evidence when, after review of the record so far, only a small number of types of evidence is still required." The new RFE Memo recognizes that RFEs requesting a full gamut of information when only a small amount is needed to make a final decision "overburdens the USCIS' customers, over-documents the file, and wastes examination resources through the review of unnecessary, duplicative, or irrelevant documents." This directive is obviously a welcome one and, hopefully, something that will make its way into actual practice. So it's obvious that most RFE's are low quality ones	silvanski	Male	Belgium	2007-09-08 17:15:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Affidavits from family/friends	QUOTE (lucyrich @ Sep 7 2007, 12:12 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's one of the most-asked questions here. No, affidavits are absolutely NOT mandatory. We were approved without them, as were many other couples here. If you have reasonable documentary evidence, don't worry about affidavits. Search the forum for lots more discussion on the issue. I'm considering including them in my RFE package...	silvanski	Male	Belgium	2007-09-08 16:58:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Card production ordered	QUOTE (RaspberrySwirl @ Oct 3 2007, 07:37 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Congrats, Silvain! What was the RFE for anyhow? Just extra evidence for mingled finances etc.? I need to get my butt into gear and file. The RFE didn't state anything specific, so I sent some more stuff... I didn't include utility bills at first ...	silvanski	Male	Belgium	2007-10-04 01:54:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Card production ordered	Thank y'all! I'm glad the final worry is over and done with. It would have been nice to know what piece of evidence for the RFE did the trick ... maybe the added utitlity bills? varied dates of bank statements? two (not notarized) letters of support? I guess we'll never know, but who gives a rat's...err.. elbows anyway!!!!	silvanski	Male	Belgium	2007-10-03 12:28:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Card production ordered	Huraaaahhh!!!!! Current Status: Card production ordered. On October 2, 2007, we ordered production of your new card. So the extra evidence we sent apparently did the trick	silvanski	Male	Belgium	2007-10-03 01:09:00
