A birth certificate is adequate proof of citizenship, provided she didn't send a copy of a "short form" birth certificate card, and that she provided copies of both sides of the certificate, even if the back side is blank. A copy of her Social Security card proves nothing. In responding, she should have sent a copy of the entire envelope, and not just a clipping of the "date". You could cut the canceled postage stamp off the corner of any envelope. It would prove nothing to USCIS. we been together for over 9 years and for the last 2 years she sent in a ticket stub for commin here last year, i have hotels stubs from when i go down,we sent in lots of photos from bunch of times we been together in the last couple years and a whole pile of other things, but they just wanted to know alittle detail about how we met, i guess when she filled out the one question it was alittle short or to simple for them. and she copied both sides of the birth certificate twice now. they sent us a notice saying that they were gonna resend the rfe and we got it one day before it expired	DanielK	Male	Canada	2009-09-05 01:30:00

What did the RFE request? What did you send? I cannot tell you if they denied because of missing the date or if they denied because what you sent was not what they needed. Do you have delivery confirmation they received your documents? Given the timing you suggest, I say they never got what you sent. A week is not evough time for the USCIS to decide anything other than "he didn't respond" NEVER, EVER send anything to USCIS without delivery confirmation. Hopefully she also included a letter of explanation as sending an empty envelope will only confues them and proves nothing in itself, and hopefully she sent a COPY of the original envelope and not the original. I do not think you are dead in the water, but if they did not receive your response you may have to go about getting the case re-opened, showing the RFE arrived late, proving yousent the response in time (and hopefully the response is what they wanted) the rfe requested for a more detail on how we met and part 2 of the rfe was they wanted her to prove she was a citizen, which she already sent in birth cer and ss copys	DanielK	Male	Canada	2009-09-04 14:53:00

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	k4 how does that work	hi everyone, first off i decided to fill out 6 more g-325's to send out instead of waiting down the road for them to tell us theyneed them. my first question is does anyone know how long it takes to get canadian passports? my second question is how does the k4 work we never filled an i130 for kids as they are on my i129f. i realize we can adjust to perm resident once we are living in the u.s.. a note also to all k3 couples from canada if you are receiving gst you may have to pay it back they want your non resident spouses income from 2005 if you got married in 2006 ctc are okay till you move to the u.s. thanks for youradvice in advance. terry and george	TRKCKL11	Not Telling	Canada	2006-09-12 22:39:00

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Interesting Question	Here is an interesting question that I did not have an answer for. My friend brought a Russian woman here (USA) on a K-1 visa about 5 years ago. He was having some big personal problems, so he asked her to go home and wait until the problems were resolved. She agreed. About a year after she went home, he filed for another K-1 visa for her. But during the process, she decided to marry a Russian man and did not go to her visa interview. He ended up bringing another Russian woman over here later and marrying her. Both marriages ended in divorce. Now the two of them have gotten back together. He wants to go to Russia, marry her, and bring her here on a K-3 visa. He asked me if this would be possible, given the fact that she was here with him before on a K-1 and did not attend her second K-1 interview. I told him I had no idea, but that I would post his situation here and see if anybody had any opinions. Bob TRKCKL11 I FOUND YOUR ANSWER ON THE i-129 INSTRUCTIONS UNDER #4 YOU'LL FIND YOUR ANSWER HE WILL NEED TO APPLY FOR A WAIVER. WISH HIM LUCK	TRKCKL11	Not Telling	Canada	2006-09-18 18:46:00

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	supporting documents	hi everyone , just wanted to see if anyone was sitting in limbo like me. our case so far is we are waiting for approvals sent the rfe for the i130 that they asked for waiting to hear it got there, am wondering if the i129f will want this same info also? with regards to the 134 and 864 my husband only had 2005 tax done as a single the previous 2 years he had to file with his ex. so don't know what to do with that,also would we have to include all his kids in family when meeting the poverty line? he has one daughter liveing with him and pays child support for 3 othersplus their health insurance its not a huge amount or would our household be myself my 2 kids ,him and his daughter? its hard closeing your life down in your own country transfering paperwork to go down to the u.s. paying off debts so much sooner etc. i still need my house to sell pay off my mortgage and figure out a new loan for my car apparently i can't take my car out of canada for more then 30 days till its paid off. hsbc. i guess this could have been posted in the rant forum if i could find it again thanks ahead of time for any and all replies. by the end of this journey i should be able to figure out how to do things on here like showing our progress in my posts? terry	TRKCKL11	Not Telling	Canada	2006-09-29 09:21:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	3 years tax returns help?	hi all, a question on the tax returns if you've been divorced or seperated. my husband filed his 05 as single, but his 03, and 04 were filed with his now exwife. can we use those 2 years and will it affect this process i've never seen a u.s. tax form filled out, should we do a written explanation with them? i guess a copy of his support payments also would be needed? his ex is getting all freaky about it she thinks we want her support lowered so i may have to explain to her. we are getting all this now talkingto employer early to give them a heads up. thanks for all the help terry	TRKCKL11	Not Telling	Canada	2006-10-08 09:51:00
