:lol:

I´ll be leaving to spend the rest of the week at my farm and I hope to see RFEs when I come back! LOTS of them so I know mine is coming.

Did anyone try to call USCIS today yet?

I couldn´t reach an operator...

My questions would be:

1 - Have you already sent any RFEs for IMBRA?

2 - Is it gonna be by snail mail or we´ll be able to download it?

3 - Are the recalled petitions receiving it first?

[Ladylethal 12]

I am pretty sure RFEs will be sent snail mail way, and it will already include the questionaire so you won´t do anything online, most likely.

I hated to be the pessimist in the midst of all the good news, but when they say 'immediate' RFE's, what exactly is the government's definition of 'immediate'?

If its the same as their BS 90 day timelines they're good at tossing out, I would assume 'immediate' would be about 3 weeks from now.

But since there's lots of spotlight on them now, that might nip that in the bud.

That´s why I´m trying to call USCIS.

I´m not lucky today as I can´t get an operator to talk to me.

Anyone else wanna try??

I actually did and I got someone online and she said that she had no information. She was very rude and said that if you have filed , then hold tight and it will happen.

I just got off the phone with them as well. The Customer Service Rep transferred me to an Immigration Officer, who wasn't rude, but nor was he helpful. When I asked if my file had been received in Vermont yet, he just kept saying that he didn't know, and that the Embassy was part of the State Department. No ######, Sherlock.

But he did give me the name of the Vermont director, and suggest I write directly to her to find out what has become of our application. I'm drafting the letter now.

Any words on if they started sending the RFEs already?

I don´t know why i couldn´t be transferred to an operator.

I received NOA1 on Mar 10th, Approved (NOA2) on May9th - I got a letter that it will forwarded to National Visa Center and haven't heard since. So today I got through to USCIS who said they can't tell me anything because they forwarded my application to NVC, I called NVC and they said they can't tell me anything because they received it and returned it back to USCIS because of IMBRA (I do not have anything to do with any international marriage boards, or online dating sites - but still get punted in this beaurocratic ping pong) I didn't get any notice yet - I understand RFE are supposed to be sent. Has anyone seen what the additional requirements are so I can at least get started in getting them together, or if there are better ways to respond to them? Faxing them in, calling in a lawyer?

This is definitely getting some coverage as my boss asked me tody if my application was stuck in those 10000 applications. I was surprised and then I receive hint of probable downsizing coming up..Things keep gettng better and better now that I need job to provide freaking AOS for him,.....I get this stupid thing called job loss !

The Vermont director is a she? I thought the VSC director's name is Paul Novak?

I think you are way behind . . .

It doesn't matter if you have anything to do with international marriage boards or online dating sites - the IMBRA law affects every single person who filed for a K1 after March 6.

The first official posting from USCIS was LAST NIGHT. We JUST got word of that RFEs are forthcoming. It does not seem there is anything you can do now to getting anything together. You cannot respond to them, fax them, or have your lawyer do anything. You need to wait until they send you an RFE. That's what ALL of us here are doing!!!
