RFE is Request For Evidence & RFIE is Request For Initial Evidence.

ok but what does that mean? does she need to send evidence or what?

@Katie wilder initial evidence is something that is mandatory to submit! things like birth certificate marriage certificates divorce decree rfe can mean anything that supports your application like bank statements, bills, pictures bla bla read the letter they sent u properly

You will receive your biometrics appointment soon. Whatever evidence they ask you for, send it ASAP.

@Katie wilder If the RFE is for “additional evidence” which is required to assist an USCIS officer in making a decision rather than an RFE for “initial evidence” which is required to make a petition case.

@M M do you have an idea what it coudl it be
M MApr 29, 2023
@Katie wilder yes they want you to send evidence to prove your marriage send pictures of different timelines during your relationship including copies of anything you have together bills, insurance, car, property, text messages send everything you can space out the timelines

even for the proof of initial evidence? as I said I doubled checked all my things I sent and even an attorney I hired said everything looks good that’s why I’m so nervous lol @M M

resend it. it won’t hurt @Katie wilder the system is automated. no need to be nervous they’re doing there job. you gotta stay on top of yours. it’s no stress to resend or maybe send “more” or upload more evidence
