Hi Thai. The letter will tell you how long it you have, I believe it is typically 90 days, so you should have plenty of time. Unfortunately the script readers in the call center will not be able to tell you the why. You should be fine, plan on 90days from date of notice.

good luck.

Thanks Idaho, I won't waste my $ or time trying to call. Are you from Idaho ? If you are were neighbors, I'm from Montana and I have been through the beautiful state of Idaho many many times.

They are finally working on the July petitions.

I just got an email from USCIS saying they mailed a notice for RFE on Dec 7th. Does anyone know how much time they give you for a deadline to respond.

It will take at least a week for there letter to get to Thailand and a week for a return letter.

Can I call the National customer service center ( 1-800 #) and find out what evidence they need so I can get a head start on collecting it ? If so where are they located or what time zone and what time they open so I can figure out the time difference,I can't find it on there site. Do I need any information other than my WAC # when I call?

Sorry for all the stupid questions, I'm not all that computer savvy.

in my case, they gave us time about a month to complete the docs they needed and mailed back to USCIS, they wont tell u about what evidence they want, so dont waste your money to call, my fiance called them after we got email about rfe, and they told us to wait for the mail to know what kind of rfe they want :)

Good luck :)

:wow:

After over 6 months of waiting, got an email notification just now that we were approved yesterday!!!! AND while here visiting my baby in Malawi!!! BEST DAY EVER!!!!!!!!!

:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

i am soooo happy for you :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

hopefully the rest of your K1 journey will be smoothly

WAHOO!!! NOA2 email yesterday, 12/7!!!!!!!!!!!!! Exactly one week from the receipt of my RFE materials. They asked for proof of citizenship, proof that we've met in the last two years, and intent to marry. (I included all those things the first time, but WHATEVER.) So I mailed back copies of both my and my fiance's passports, letters from friends, coworkers and my pastor, emails/contracts for wedding related stuff, screen shots of photos w/digital dates from media card, and a pleading letter! Hahaha...Either way, WE GOT APPROVED! And now it's on to the next round!

Some friend from work surprised us with plane tickets for my fiance to come for Christmas/New Year's/our birthdays (mine's the 23rd and his is the 25th of Dec)!!!!!!!!! They knew we couldn't afford a trip and got together and bought it themselves!!!!!! So my BABY IS GOING TO BE HERE IN TWO WEEKS, arriving ON my birthday!!!!!!!! What an AMAZING December this is shaping up to be!! GOD IS GOOD!

Question--who receives the letter from the NVC? The US citizen or my foriegn fiance or both?

PS Spoke with an Immigration Officer at the USCIS. He told me that the 864 Affidavit of Support docs ARE needed at the interview level--at least in Spain anyway. I know we had had questions about that earlier. Thought I'd let you know! He says that it isn't listed as a document needed, but that it is needed. Maybe have them prepared just in case?

Thanks Idaho, I won't waste my $ or time trying to call. Are you from Idaho ? If you are were neighbors, I'm from Montana and I have been through the beautiful state of Idaho many many times.

Hi Thai, I am originally from Hailey Idaho, yes. Although I have lived for the past 20 years in Minnesota. When I was thinking of a screen name I put my original State (province) and my fiancées home province in the PI. I should say I'm from Minnesota as I lived here so long, but the Inter-mountain West will always be home....wish I could move back! Where do you live in Big Sky Country? I love MT and have thought often of moving to Missoula. did you go to College there? I am a Bronco (GO BLUE AND ORANGE!! home of the smurf turf BSU RULES!!!) and remember the good old days when we played the Grizzlies in the good old Big Sky Conference....DIV 2 lol...now look at BSU!

Hi Idaho, I've never been through Hailey,as close as I've been is Twin Falls, but I see your a country boy like me. I know what ya mean about moving back, there's just no good money in our area. We live there for the great outdoors and sacrifice good jobs for it. I did a couple years college at MSU Bozeman and lived all over the state Bozo - Flaxville - Wolf point - Scobey - and the last was 10+ years in Billings. Billings is even a little too big for a country boy like me and now I have lived outside Chiang Mai Thailand for about 5 years. Missoula sucks, no good weather and smog, Bozo is a lot better even if it is full of yuppies now days. I lived outside of Denver for a couple years so I'm a Bronco fan too.

Best of luck to ya

so update.

apparently while i was sitting here envying people who got approved and those who go through manilla embassy quicklike,we got approved.

our approval date is nov 17th.

now before you congratulate me ,keep it for when i get my noa2 hardcopy.the news is amazing and most certainly bee and both needed it,but im still worried about getting the hardcopy.

im guessing our case is either AT the embassy or on its way.here is what the email said:

The California Service Center (CSC) no longer has jurisdiction over this petition. The petition was approved and notification was mailed to the address of record on November 17, 2010. The petition has been forwarded to the National Visa Center . Please send any further correspondence to the following address: NVC, 31 Rochester Avenue , Portsmouth , NH 03801-2909 . Direct any telephone inquiries to (603) 334-0700.

NOTE: Always include any identifying information about the petition, including full names and dates of birth for petitioner and beneficiary, receipt numbers and the NVC case number.

Thanks,

Officer
