IMBRA RFE Scan

[vartan 0]

Thanks to whomever posted the RFE but seriously.... SERIOUSLY... We are speaking about our government here.. They don't have records of whether or not we committed these types of crimes???? Secondly ... didn't they require us on the form to state how we met? I met my fiance at work .. while she was here on a student visa in the US...... It's kinda silly if you ask me to ask us these questions again. I guess I just will never understand...

It's true that they do but then why ask us for it?

Plus.... (I am sorry I am still trying to understand this .. it makes no sense) How can you back date? In my work industry we have constant regulations that pop out of the wood work and our customers may not like them but the requirements are always current or forward.. we don't go and fine customers for stuff they did 2 months ago .. that just makes no sense.

The part about back dating was the awful one. If they didn´t have the law ready in time it shouldn´t have applied to us at all! No laws can back up to prejudice anyone.

I spoke with a nice person at USCIS who told me about the current status of the "recalled applications" to the Vermont Service Center.

The "files" were recalled along with the "Petitions" from the foreign embassy. My petition was still on its way back to square one so I could be sent my IMBRA addition (ironic considering we met in USA and IMBRA is applied to all K-1's now).

So now she tells me that once my file and petition are together in the office I will get my RFE and my case along with everyone else affected will be expedited. She said the RFE's sent out due to IMBRA will be mailed in bulk from the Vermont Service Center.

How can that be true if I am hearing that other people using the Vermont Service Center have already got their RFE's?

She said my case was of course recalled like everyone else's due to IMBRA, but I am hearing that other people have already gotten their RFE.

Let me if anyone is along the lines of my timeline and has heard back from the VSC.

Thanks

Maybe she meant "bulk of day" ?

I think everyone who's gotten an IMBRA related RFE have been those whose petitions have not been approved yet (easier to catch maybe?). I don't know if anyone with a NOA2 has. I'm not certain though.

I don’t know if this is the correct place to post it. But my REF is at home I am at work and can’t leave right now. But I am very excited and wanted to update you all that the REF has come. I hope it is the REF it is from homeland security anyway.

A call to Vermont has yielded a fax # to request a "petition expedite". They told me that since I have a copy of your scanned IMBRA RFE that it may further expedite the process if I include the doc, filled out already. I was wondering what kind of info aside from the obvious was blocked out in case it's something pertinent that I should include. Thanks

That's kind of strange that they would allow you to use someone elses RFE. Because isnt there a Barcode that must belong only to your case on the RFE?

Hey, if they allow you to do that great! But it does surprise me...

Also Timmaricel, you and I both got our NOA2's on the same day. Both of us are also dealing with the Philippines.

We should keep in touch with each other....

If you noted in other threads, expediated requests are being denied. I would also be very wary of taking what someone says via the call center as factual. It isnt known as the misinformation line for no reason. The RFE will contain numbers/dates etc specific to your case (including a bar code by the looks of it) How do you know what these are? There will be no guarantee that it will be successfully linked to your case even if they do accept it.

I wish you success with it. Let us know what happens.

Thank you for sharing that.

Hi I am new to visa journey and logged on just to see how long it was taking others to have their k1 visas processed. I saw that yours is being processed in VT like mine.

My application was initially approved for my fiance from Australia in April. The it was recalled because of the new info they needed for Imbra. I got my RFE and returned it to VT, they noted they recieved it on June 17th.

I was wondering if you could tell me when they said they recieved yours and how long you have been waiting for yours to be approved?

Thanks!
