I don't mind the wait, I just hate the fact that he is almost making me buy those certified tax returns from the IRS which don't show any major proof I've had continuous residency during the months of all those years

I have copies of some of the checks he gave me during those years, paypal history, tax receipts, and other receipts of different stuff I bought during those years. But he insists on me getting certified tax returns for all the years from 2007 to 2012. I don't have the money for that right now.

There's August applicants still waiting to be approved, 2 weeks is nothing but it's your choice. Just let us know how it turned out.

So whats so hard to understand? For 2007, you sent just 2 months, they don't know you stayed pass those 2 months. Just send the entire year of 2007.

Wait so you're supposed to send the RFE by yourself? Because my lawyer got it and I had to mail him my evidence and after he got it he was the one who sent it to USCIS

I think I have enough proof...so would you ignore the lawyer and send all the stuff yourself? If I give him everything he will take like 2 weeks to send it all.

Yes that's more than enough proof. All I sent was bank statements and Amazon invoices and still got approved. You seem to have more stuff, I think you should be fine. Just make sure anything you send has 3 things: Your name, address and date. . I'd send it ASAP.

i think your lawyer is right. I would strongly recommend getting those tax return because it's from the government which is a lot stronger evidence. If all you have is bank statement, then I would also send in tax return.

Its pretty clear to me. The letter clearly states that you SUBMITTED EVIDENCE FROM 2008-2012 and FEBRUARY AND MARCH OF 2007. You're missing just the remaining months of 2007. Not hard to misinterpret at all.

From experience.

My cousin got an RFE for ONE ENTIRE YEAR.......... I think it was 2009 he litterally did not have anything for that year. Anyways as you already imagined the RFE was asking for evidence for that entire year.... He ended up submitting Tax returns in where he claimed as a dependent. 2 weeks later he gets his approval notice on uscis.gov. What im trying to say, Tax returns can count for one entire year of evidence.

It's not hard to understand to me but my lawyer is the one being real picky careful about this...He confused me when he said this part:

It does state that we submitted evidence for 2008 through 2012, and for February and March 2007. The letter continues that we did not “submit any evidence indicating that you resided in the United States since June 15, 2007.” While the letter seems to imply that the missing evidence is limited to the period of June 2007 through the end of December 2007, because the letter did not expressly state the required evidence is limited to the period of June 2007 through the end of December 2007, I do not know for certain that we need to supplement the evidence only for the year 2007. I would rather not take a risk, and therefore recommend that we supplement the evidence for the entire period through the date that we submit the supplemental evidence."

That's why I'm asking you guys to give me your opinion, would you ignore him and just send the proof from June 2007 to December 2007?

They need you!
