Best time to apply for a work permit and permission to travel (l-129F processing)??
Hi, I received a RFE for my Fiancée’s app. I will be sending the RFE in a few days. I am putting the positive energy out there and anticipating an approval by Dec/Jan. My question is when is the best time to file for a work permit and for a travel permit? We would like a travel permit so that we can have a wedding in Ecuador where 95% of her family is and one in the US for the remaining 5% and my family/friends. Should I send a letter explaining this idea when I return the RFE or does that seem suspicious?
Should I send the I-765 and I-131 with the evidence they requested?
Thanks for any suggestions!

What did they ask you when you got the RFE?
Lin MNov 25, 2023
the divorce decree was missing a stamp on the back from the civil registró and they claimed one of the documents I sent did not have the English translation which was not true but it was easier just to send them another

so part their fault and part our fault for not realizing the certificate didn’t have the stamp.
