My wife immigrated to this country in 2003, on a K1 visa.?
After our marriage, she was granted a two year residency. In 5/05 we applied to have that extended to a 10 year residency. Since then, due to backlog, we have had to have that extended twice. Yesterday we got notification that our justifying documents were incomplete. We have until 8/2/08 to submit evidence that we have been married and living together since 7/03. The documentation that we submitted in 5/05 was rejected as incomplete. I have contacted my congressman, and am in the process of obtaining additional affidavits. Can anyone give any additional advice. I am considering contacting the news media, as our union is not in question. Thanks.
If I could afford an immigration attorney, I'd have hired one 5 years ago. Who knew that my government would be so spiteful
After all, I am 63 year old Vietnam Veteran. My wife is a 52 year old Brit. Not a likely terrorist couple.

This is typical USCIS nonsense. There is nothing you can do. They get points for denying residency and it looks like they have picked on you. The only upside to this is that they are too inefficient to do anything about it in any event. So you do not have to worry about deportation or anything. Just years more nonsense.

A RFE (Request For Evidence) is a common practice. CIS frequently asks applicants for additional evidence. They do it all day long when supporting documentation lacks sufficiency to show or prove that which someone is trying to assert.
Just do what CIS asks. It's not their fault your evidence is insufficient. They have a criteria by which they adjudicate applications, and your supporting evidence did not match that criteria. It's much easier to comply with their request than it is to make fuss about the request.
Contacting your congressman or the press may make you feel better, and your congressman's office will go through the motions for you, but the bottom line is, the burden of proof is on you, the applicant, and you must meet that burden if you expect your application to be approved.
If your union isn't in question, what's so hard about proving it?

Send in more justifying documents then. The instructions of the form to remove conditions has many examples of documents to submit (mostly financial), and they require at least 2 sworn affidavits from people who have known the both of you since you've been married, to support the fact that it is a bona-fide marriage.
It's just a matter of getting them the right documents, I doubt they're "picking" on you.
Why don't you read over the instruction on this link... it may help...

An immigration attorney would be of some assistance at this point. The media however would be a waste of time

that sucks man, I don't know why americans complain so much about illegal immigrants and they make it for us the legal immigrants so hard!!
actually dude, there are some places that give an hour immigration consulting for like 50 dollars, try to find one, here in boston it's called international institute, there may be one where you live, google it, if not... some catholic churches give free legal help, ask around and I'm sure you'll find something cheap.
Good luck to ya!
