IMBRA RFE for K3

[chris&o 0]

Does anyone know if USCIS accepts the rerturned RFE via FedEx, or if we need to use Certified Mail?

It seems that they send RFE without any regard to the NOA1 (reciept) date. I see people who filed in May and June getting them. We filed in April and still nothing...

Got my RFE today, postmarked June 30. NOA1 dated April 3,2006. Just glad to see some movement.

looks like it .....but at least they are moving. Since K3 are in one service center I think they will maintain the order of NOA1. I am thinking that the volume of K3 will be far less than k1..Just guessing here not sure !

Huh? My SC is Vermont but the RFE came from Missouri. Are they all coming from there?

Huh? CR-1s are not getting the IMBRA RFE (as far as I know). Did you file for K3 and forget to update your timeline?

RFE via FedEx, or if we need to use Certified Mail?

I used Certified so I can track online. FedEx may get there quicker (not sure they wouldn't accept it) but may not speed the process. Nothing moves July 4 anyway.

Is date.com considered an international marriage broker?

Well, we filed for K-3 and recently got some progress at NVC as well. Don't know which visa will be faster...

As for timelines, I had my timeline filled for K-3, and then I updated it for CR-1. In order to do that I had to change K-3 to CR-1 where it's asks what visa I filed for. And after that only CR-1 timeline is visible and updateable. Anyone knows how to fix that?

Well folks i got my RFE. sendign it back tommorow.

Thanks, but I currently has it as CR1, thus my K-3 timeline is not visible. Congrats on your getting of RFE!

Hi Jersey

The service center for your I-130 is Vermont. The NBC in Missouri is the center for all I-129Fs for spouse.

Thanks, aussiewench. You do more to help visa petitioners than people who're paid to do it! You could write a book. Because even people with higher educations are brought low when faced with this confusing process.

Now that K3s are getting RFEs, the next issue will be what to do: follow K3 or CR-1? It's a numbers game that's too early to predict. But if you got your CR-1 in 8 months, and IMBRA adds 2 months to a K3 that previously took 6 months, then ...

sent RFE back ..they should get it tomorrow ...lets see who gets the approval first !

We received our RFE on 07/03/2006, and sent it back via USPS overnight. So hopefully on the next proceesing time update, the date will have moved.

Jerseygirl I think you should write the book, your humor and positive attitude would help everyone going through this. No matter how down and discouraged I get some of your posts make me laugh and find my positive attitude again. I don't post much but I read a lot and even though you don't know it you have helped a lot during this whole journey. Thanks!!
