I know this has been said before but it's good to repeat things as searching takes a lot of time. I sent back the RFE for IMBRA overnight on the 26th of this month, signed for on the 27th, VSC sent this e-mail 3 times :lol: on the 28th at 7:30pm:

Receipt Number: ************************

Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status:

On July 28, 2006, we received your response to our request for evidence or information. However because preliminary processing was complete, the remaining processing time will be less than the maximum stated in this message. You will receive a written decision on this case. You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done. Follow the the link below for current processing dates.

I think it was a really fast response and I think it's because I followed these tips:

General Tips on Assembling Applications for Mailing

1. Mark both the envelope and the cover letter as to the nature of the submission. Example: ORIGINAL SUBMISSION - BRIEF FOR AN APPEAL - RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - etc.

2. Use the appropriate mailing address and mark both the envelope and the cover letter as to the form type. Example: I-129; I-130; I-690; I-698, etc.

3. Provide both the receipt notice number and the A-Number as an identifier, if they are available.

4. If the packet is being resubmitted in response to a REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE, please place the notice requesting the additional evidence/information on the top of the packet. Also, please use the special mailing envelope provided. (there is no special envelope)

I also maid a front page copy of the RFE with all it's information and taped it to the front of the package inside the overnight package which had I-129F on it.

I hope it helps and works for everyone!!!!!!

now I'm officially waiting in line, booooooooo!!!! :whistle:

but I'm grateful!! :)

Sorry for spelling Label wrong ;)

It just means that I made a copy of the first page of the RFE. The first page has a lot of information on it, Petitioners name, Beneficiarys Name, Receipt #, A#, and couple other things. I taped this page to the front of the manila folder that contained the RFE response. I labeled the overnight package "I-129F"

So, there was no real waiting in the mail room. I guess anyway, it's all assumption and speculation, but I'm sure any tip that could help in any way is appreciated.

uhh :wacko:

but congrats to the NOA2

If you filed using the new form (that has an effective date of May 23 on it) then you already answered the IMBRA questions and you won't be getting an RFE unless they screw up.

Several people up here that have used the new form said they received RFE's... I used the new form, and I just received e-mail notice of an RFE being sent to me...I'm not quite sure exactly what it's about, but I'll keep you guys posted!!

My guess is that it's more likely you are getting an RFE because you didn't sign something or you left out some evidence.

That's what I'm thinking too...In fact, I know I didn't sign the letter I wrote stating how we met. I wasn't sure if it needed to be signed or what...I'm hoping that's it, so I can sign it and send it back in...
