I just got this email from my Senator. Looks like they are coming!!

Below is an update I received concerning I-129F applications. It appears that they are sending a large amount of them out today.

Tim Sullivan

Office of Senator ####### Durbin

All I-129F receive on and after 03/06/2006 were place on hold do to a revise I-129F application. There will be over 5000 RFE sent out today to those who submitted the I-129F asking for more information.

yes thanks for the info Gary. It is great to read some good news for a change.

I really don't know what to make of this. I just got an email from my senator (his immigration aid really). My status hasn't changed online and my lawyer hasn't gotten anything yet. Do I dare get excited?????

Mr. Cornelius,

Below is the response I received from USCIS in California . Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. Tim

A Request for Evidence was sent to the petitioner on 06/23/2006. Once the response has been received from the petitioner, processing will continue.

Well, it's coming! They usually take 2 days to actually post it, the update when it leaves USCIS sending office, not when it actually LEAVES the post. That's why it takes longer than it's supposed to.

You lost me there - what do you mean? They said the RFEs we sent on June 23. Are you saying the envelopes didn't actually leave the CSC on that date?

All depends on what time they gave them to the post office. After a certain time and they would not be processed until the next day. (that all depends on if they did give them to the post office). But you would think in State would go faster. Maybe they where prepared on the 23 but not sent until the 24th.

Hope they arrive soon.

I posted this in the Recalled NOA2 thread, but since more people are looking here I figured I'd re-post for those people going through the Philippines.

For anyone waiting for their petition to return from Manila, I finally received this today from NVC:

Dear Sir/Madam:

The National Visa Center (NVC) has received your inquiry regarding a petition sent to the NVC from the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General. The petition was received at the NVC and is being forwarded to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS - formerly known as INS) for processing. All inquiries and submissions of additional documentation should be directed to the CIS office that originally approved the petition.

Regards,

National Visa Center

Now keep in mind that 2 days ago their reply was the typical "NVC sent the petition to the US Embassy in Manila on April 1" and only when I followed it up with an e-mail mentioning that it has been almost a month since Manila sent the petition back did I get THIS e-mail. So maybe they're just trying to get me off their backs for now. But it's the first sign of ANYthing for me since April 1, so I'm thrilled. When and if my online status is updated I'll post it here, because as far as I know no one going through the Philippines on an NOA2 has been given word yet on their RFE.

What I was saying about it usually takes two days is that when we got our NOA1 it said April 19th it had been sent, but on the envelope the stamp from the post office said it was mailed out on the 22nd. Same thing happened now with the RFE, meaning they don´t actually mail it out on the same day they update the status online to say it´s been sent, it´s actually sent (for real) a couple of days later.
