Request for Evidence 🙃
Hello everyone, I just wanted to share with you the current status of our case for the CR1. Petition Date: 7 December 2023 Actively Reviewing: 5 January 2024 Request for Evidence (RFE): 24 March 2025 Response to RFE: 7 April 2025 RFE Received: 7 April 2025 Actively Reviewing (Again): 7 April 2025 2 weeks ago, we received an RFE letter. All that we needed to submit was a translation of our marriage certificate w/ a new scan of our original certificate + the attached docs USCIS sent to us. We submitted the updated evidence today since we were on vacation 2 weeks ago and were not home to do this earlier. USCIS received our evidence, and the status of our case returned back to “being actively reviewed” like 10 minutes after they received it. I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with an RFE letter. How long until we could see an approval now? Lots of cases from December 2023 were approved last month and some are still being approved this month. We hope they will not forget our case. The evidence requested was so simple and it is all that was preventing a sooner approval for us ahhh. 🥹🙏 #cr1 #i130 #rfe #rfeletter

@Dorcas OY We had the same issue initially. Tried contacting USCIS by phone and via online chat and that was awful. No help whatsoever. Luckily, it showed up in the Documents tab in our account like 2 days later. For some reason, it doesn’t show up right away. It took like 2 days maybe 3 for it to show up. I think it was just 2 though if I remember correctly.
Mariana ♡Apr 8, 2025
@Dorcas OY It should show up by tomorrow. Maybe bc April 4th was a Friday that it won’t show until a business day? I don’t think they allow you to report it missing until like 2 weeks after they send it.
Mariana ♡Apr 8, 2025
@James morales Yes, we were notified by email as well. What was your petition date? I just checked ours and now it gives us an estimate of 4 weeks until they make a decision. Who knows. Saw 21 months as an estimate and then like a week later we got the RFE letter. 🤣

I also sent my translated certificate and I'm waiting for two months. :(

@Estef Sl Oh no, that’s so long 🥲 what is your service center? We are Nebraska. I don’t understand why they make us wait so long for such a simple resubmission. I hope we all get approvals soon… I see some still waiting like 6 months after responding to the RFE. I would contact the local congressman at that point…this is insane. 🥲

@Mariana , please can you elaborate ? what transalation ? is the marriage certificate(in english ) and Nikah nama not enough? and congrats on approval , also please keep posting details for the upcoming steps which wil help me to do the same for my spouse.Thanks
Mariana ♡Apr 12, 2025
@om Khan We submitted our marriage certificate without the English translation. We submitted it again (translated to English this time). We have not been approved yet. Still waiting for USCIS to review the resubmission. Not sure how long it will take. 🫢 Be sure to submit the original certified document as well as the translation.

@marina , thank you let me know. However, I have submitted the marriage certificate which is issued by the Govt of Pakistan and also the Nikah nama which is in Urdu. I do not know now which they are asking ? I submitted both of the documents
Mariana ♡Apr 18, 2025
@om Khan Both are fine as long as you submitted English translations of each (also need to be certified).
