RFE? Oh well, they will send you what exactly they need from you guys. I wouldn't worry. Sometimes it is just a missing photograph (that they might have lost) or some form filled out wrong. Give them what they need and you will be approved very soon thereafter!! At least your case is in process now. Congrats!

It's just a bit of a kick in the teeth.. We've waited so long to get this far, way longer than the average filing time and then they come back with this. We sent everything, photos, plane tickets, ring reciept, passport copies. We had a lawyer sort out our forms (big mistake) so I just don't know what on earth they could want.....

I'm sorry to moan, I know some people have waited way longer than us, I'm just really shocked that they could want anything else from us.... At least it looks like they've made it on to us May filers still waiting - they must've been sitting in a box somewhere all together so I'm sure the approvals will now start rolling in...

most the time from what i have seen in all the time i have been on this forum its something so so simple that u forgot to do and as soon as the person corrects it or sends what maybe even the service center themself lost as in a pic......ur processed have ur noa2 and going on to the next step really its not bad news to get a rfe cuz it means ur out of security checks and ur being adjudicated........wwowowow

It's just a bit of a kick in the teeth.. We've waited so long to get this far, way longer than the average filing time and then they come back with this. We sent everything, photos, plane tickets, ring reciept, passport copies. We had a lawyer sort out our forms (big mistake) so I just don't know what on earth they could want.....

I'm sorry to moan, I know some people have waited way longer than us, I'm just really shocked that they could want anything else from us.... At least it looks like they've made it on to us May filers still waiting - they must've been sitting in a box somewhere all together so I'm sure the approvals will now start rolling in...

HEY ZOE AND HAL.... i know exactly how you feel! i AM MAY 20TH FILER! I received an RFE OCTB 1OTH .... SENT IT OFF pretty much straight away and sTILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK from them. IF THEY GOT IT AND what the VERDICT IS! I thought i would of heard back sooner but no word as yet. from me they wanted pictures with dates on them. But i never included any pictures in the application. So now waiting and waiting..doin my head in:(

I can't believe it's taking that long! I thought it'd be pretty quick once they get the stuff they want. I just don't know what on earth it could be! I'm so mad at our lawyer right now! If I'd have had his phone number, he'd of been getting a nice wake-up call from me this morning! I can't believe you're still waiting! Maybe it's been sitting in the box with all of ours so they'll get to it tonight! I hope you get approved soon!

Hey guys,

I am also joining the club; this process has been very exasperating. I know a lot of you have been waiting for more than six months now. I wish everyone the best of luck, I know a lot of you wanted to spend Christmas with your love, and so did I, since I have no family here. But I pray to God that we have those approvals soon and our lives could be filled with joy. Let’s stick together.

Liz & Audel
