i think your rfe will come with a reference number to locate it back to your case, im sure it will get cleared up easlier, and from what i read it may not be your lawyers fault on that, i hear the lose photos regularly there good luck

Question: on the status page, will they tell you you've been mailed an RFE or do you have to wait to find out? Our case has been touched twice in recent days, but now I wonder if it could just be an RFE.

Hey Symbiosis - Here is what the message looks like. I sure hope this Isn't an RFE for you. Just keep in mind that usually when you are touched this late in the game it is the adjudicator processing your case for either an approval, RFE, (or denial but we won't go there!).

Can you tell me if you used an attorney?

Thanks,

Mike

Receipt Number: EAC08188*****

Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: REQUEST FOR INITIAL EVIDENCE SENT, CASE PLACED ON HOLD

On October 23, 2008, we mailed a notice requesting initial evidence in this case. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the evidence requested. Meanwhile, processing of this case is on hold until we either receive the evidence or the opportunity to submit it expires. Once you submit the evidence requested and a decision is made, you will be notified by mail. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your mailing address.

No, still says pending. I was just wondering if the touches could be unnoted RFEs. Yes, I do have an immigration attorney and have had no problems at all. I am really sorry to hear you've had troubles.

If you have an useless attornet, i dont blame you. We had an attorney and she didnt do much, well she didnt do anyhting!!!. She gave us the forms we needed to fill out (I knew them already since I checked them here). If they send you an RFE, your attorney will receive one and you will receive another copy. If you receive the NOA2, your attorney and you will receive one copy. So you can do your things from now on. Just read the steps to follow and good luck!!!!!! it's better to do your things yourselves!!!!

Hey thanks so much for the info! You are right we don't want him doing anything else to our case if we can keep from it. i wanna ask ya make sure i understand correct. You guys had an attorney, was issued an RFE, and you and the attorney both received a copy of it? If so did you return it yourselves? I've been trying to ask someone who went through this if both received a copy and if they returned themselves so thanks so much! I'll be looking forward to your reply. Best of luck to you.

Let me explain this. We had an attorney, thank God we didnt receive an RFE but my fiance and the attorney received the NOA1 and the NOA2. However, when he received the NOA2, we decided to continue ourselves. I checked the following steps and helped my fiance with the affidavit of support. Of course, she didnt tell him about it. She also told him she would receive the package 3. I received it, found out about my interview, my medical exam, etc. Three days before my interview, the attorney called my fiacne and told him that my interview was going to be on October 10th, and i needed to go for my medical exam ???????......We havent heard anyhting from her since that day. She didnt even called my fiance to find out if i was approved or not. But as soon as i get to New York, we are going to talk to her and we are going to ask for the refund. I hope we can get it...

Oh if we all only knew then what we know now. I haven't spoken to hardly anyone with an attorney that has had a positive experience, but ya know I'm sure you guys were like us in thinking we will just pay the money and be at ease knowing that it's being handled by a professional. Back then everything seemed so overwhelming and confusing so by going with an attorney that was a very caring and responsible thing to do, but like i say we didn't know any better. At least now we can encourage other newbies to use the support here at VJ and do it themselves.

We are wishing you a smooth interview and visa approval. Best of luck guys and God speed to ya!

i think your rfe will come with a reference number to locate it back to your case, im sure it will get cleared up easlier, and from what i read it may not be your lawyers fault on that, i hear the lose photos regularly there good luck

If there is in fact a reference # for that then that's great. I hope you are right Steve.

i think they have to have to have some kind of number to link it back to the case

Has anyone noticed how a lot of us with our last tough on July 9th have not heard anything yet.... I wonder if there is a connection...

I've actually lost all hope that we'll be approved this week. I have a feeling that we will be one of the last June filers. I'm not letting myself check the USCIS site at all this week.

If you received an RFE, i am pretty sure you will receive the approval very soon. That usually means that they checked your case so as soon as they get the passport photo that your attorney didnt send , you will have an answer ....Good luck and start gathering the documents because as soon as you get your NOA2, everything will be very quick!!! Good luck with your interview !!!!

Actually, mine was touched on that day too, I just never put in my timeline. (just added). I think we're all on the cusp.

[panterchen 1]

Jippiehhhh! Just found out my fiancé is coming this thursday to stay with me for 3 weeks!! My family knew just no one told me about it...Now that I found out I am soooo excited.

Gotta get a haircut and some other beauty treatments to make sure he will see my at my best

I thought we wouldn't see each other before I can first enter the US on my K1. But now I am even spending halloween with him. Thank god, I am so happy. USCIS doesn't matter for the next 3 weeks... Maybe we will receive NOA 2 when he is here then. Would be the greatest gift ever. :jest: :jest:
