I think this is true
me and my wife got RFE on Jan 30, (RD April 23), and INS asked for two pictures of some complete stranger, and they also wanted a copy of marriage certificates and some other paper. Our lawyer assures us she had already delivered these documents with the application in April.
It seems very strange that INS would need more copies of the same papers, and ask us to send pictures of someone we don\'t even know...!
I guess someone mixed up some papers somewhere, which makes me worry. I don\'t know what could be worse, the mistake happening at the lawyer\'s office or the INS shuffling applications..
