Hello!! I filed April 22 and received my NOA1 April 29, so I'm borderline April/May filer. My case was last touched May 13... Two weeks seems like an eternity. But we do what we have to right?

Loto, I didnt get NOA2, got RFE instead :(

That's really sorry to hear! Hope it will be cleared soon!

What was the RFE? Or should I dig this entire thread?

Loto

Got it.

Oh GREAT....just got an email for myself and my 2 sons from USCIS requesting further evidence! They wait 5 months to ask for this?? There was I, hoping to be approved any day and now this. My petitioner husband called them to ask what info they want, but they wont tell him, said a letter is in the post. Getting our lawyer to call as well. Only thing me and hubby can think of is that in the copy pack of I-130 applications they sent to hubby, they hadnt put a copy of the divorce decree from his last marriage. He called the lawyer and made sure it had definitely been included in the package sent to USCIS, they said 'oh yes'. Now we are thinking it wasnt, and thats why they have sent RFE.

I've been crying, I'm so crushed by this. What other sort of evidence could they want?? We gave everything to the lawyers. How long does it take after they get FE to approve or deny?

I'm devastated.
