Hello there, we received noa1 on the 3rd week of May 2014. We are still waiting for NoA2...My husband plans to visit me here in my country, and possibly stay here for about a month. My questions are:

1. What if they send us RFE? Are they going to notify us via email and on "My Case Status"?

2. Are we allowed to send the requested evidence to the service center from outside the U.S.?

Gosh, I miss my husband very much and I hope his vacation won't cause us problems in our petition. Thank you very much for your help friends. Have a good day!

1. Yes

2. Only if they mail the RFE hardcopy to your address outside the U.S.

Thanks for your response! Okay so I guess he needs to hurry up and go back to the US to send the packet to them.. Do you have any idea how many days they give us to respond (average)? Thanks again! Edited by KrishMT

Assuming you actually get an RFE, it will tell you on the cover sheet the deadline date you will have to provide the required information. In my RFE, it was about 80 days from the time I actually received it in the mail.

Okay got it! Hopefully we don't get an rfe. But if ever we do, at least now I already have an idea how to handle it, thanks for providing us info! Very helpful. Have a good day :)
