RFE for expedite received today, sent response today.

Hope it was for something simple

Yes it was very simple, they didnt have any evidence, I filed on the phone with the military help line, and I asked could I go ahead and send the documents, and she told me to wait for communication from them. So I mailed out all the evidence, and I'm crossing my fingers now. The only bad part is that its being mailed from Korea so it will take 3 days to get there. So I hope to hear something next week.

I wonder if you had this in your computer if they would have accepted this at this initial stage. I would hope they would work along with you. Do you get to use some sort of intra-company mail (gov't to gov't) or did you need to use the local snail mail there? Even though there is an RFE here at least they are working on it! Still good news. GL.

You guys said it!!!!! Get moving VSC! :dance Please...for us??

I just had a couple of thoughts/questions.

First of all, we chose the fiance visa route because we thought it would be the fastest way for us to be together. (As I'm sure many of you did too.) Now the I130's are flying off the shelf at the speed of lightning and I'm wondering if we made a mistate....Is anyone thinking about doing it over, canceling the fiance visa, getting married, and going that route? Part of me is really tempted to do that...but the other part just tells me to hang in there....

And second of all, I had a question about touches. I see many of you have them, and I don't. My case online just says recieved and pending. When they touch you does it give the date with the touch on the website?

Thanks so much guys...and good luck!!!

I know for us we'll stick with the fiance visa route.....it appears to only be taking around 6-7 months to get the visa this way right now and I've seen people doing the K-3 route waiting 1+ years for theirs.

When we say ours has been "touched" that just means that the "Last Updated" date on the online account has changed. We've only had one touch and that was right after we filed. I think its possible we'll see more when they actually start working on our petition but I've read of people never getting touches and getting their approvals.

Thanks for the welcome lizandpat. We are certainly going to hang on in there and wait out the K1 - makes the most sense for us for sure. Great to chat with people on the same timelines and share the wait!!! Not too long fingers crossed

[al-Hubb jameel 0]

Thanks guys....I feel alot better. We'll continue on the route we are on now. I just was having a freak out moment today missing him, and then noticing I'm missing touches! The worst part is that I'm going to see him in 28 days and even that feels like too long to wait. At least I'm among people who share my pain and can sympathize with my crazy moments. And I'm happy that I will get a "touch" in 28 days.

Logistically for me, canceling the the fiancee and getting married would set me back at least a month, if not more. Then reapplying and winding up back on the bottom of some pile, I do not know if it is worth it in the short term. Long term who knows? Besides my form is moving up it is now 3rd from the bottom...HA!

Hey everyone. We are a little late to this party. Sent off the forms on 2/13 and got our NOA1 on the 17th.

Good luck everyone and hopefully this process goes quickly.

I know exactly how you feel on the 28 days being a long wait...I was like that in January before Pat came for a visit...it was horrible.. You'll make it though and you'll have a wonderful time!!
