Green Card Application - Request for Initial Evidence Received!
Hi all,
So I sent off my application roughly 21 days ago.
In the week following I received my receipts.
Then last week I received my Biometrics appointment.
Today however I have received a Request for Initial Evidence. I made a stupid mistake. I included I130 but forgot to include the I130A. This is the singular item the document requests the I130A. My question is, should i include all the supporting documentation I included with the I130 or would they have requested this additionally if it was necessary and just send them the cover letter alongside the completed I130A?
Thanks so much! This forum is a huge help always.

Simply include all of the documents required within the I-130, that are needed for the supplemental i-130A - this is outlined here: here
If you wish to include a copy of the remaining supporting documents it won't hurt your cause but will be unneccessary, just include everything requested in the RFIE
Also; I have heard that an RFIE as opposed to an RFE can reset your clock in terms of time passed since it being received, I could be wrong, but just throwing that out there as an FYI, I'm sure someone will be along to correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for the response I appreciate it.
The exact wording is
- Submit a completed and signed I-130A, Supplemental information for Spousal Beneficiary, from the spouse beneficiary.
Thats it, nothing else.
I'm not sure what you are referring to here though sorry with Simply include all of the documents required within the I-130, that are needed for the supplemental i-130A - this is outlined here. I couldn't find anything where are you directing me to exactly, sorry for troubling you again.

No, it doesn't mean to include another copy of the I-130 evidence. They have what you previously sent. They want the I-130A which you neglected to include with the spousal I-130. You listed it in your original post back in March in the list of documents that were required to be filed. They will match up the supplement with the original mailing. Of course, unfortunately, this will cause a delay in obtaining further processing of the applications, including those for advance parole (I-131) and employment authorization (I-765).

I have no idea how it happened, left it out of my content in error which means I left it out entirely.
Thanks for the responses I will just send in the form itself signed.

Yeah I have no idea how the error occurred on my part. between posting on here and typing out the content I missed it which caused the build error.
I have my biometrics appointment this coming Tuesday however. I packaged everything in individual files however so not sure if they have continued others going. I'm getting this posted Tuesday for next day delivery but I'm guessing that means the 90 day clock starts again.

There's no such thing as the 90 day clock anymore.
USCIS are under no obligation to complete an application in that timeframe anymore, simply because they can't. I believe someone posted a link to the bulletin where USCIS noted that they changed it.
