Congrats. Imagine being in a line at Disneyland. You wait through all these lines outside finally reaching the door of the building only to discover there is more lines inside. But the line at least is still moving forward. Good luck on your NVC journey.

So I just checked the mail, no NOA 2 yet. But I did get a letter from my congressman stating:

"The officer reviewing your application is in need of some additional information to complete the file. You will be receiving a request for additional evidence in the next several days. Please return the information requested as quickly as possible so that they can complete the application"

Sooo I knew I was going to get a RFE, hopefully not as bad as Sam_Onlines. I guess I should be happy it's not a denial it says so they can complete the file. =/ I'll let ya guys know what happens!

Congrats. Imagine being in a line at Disneyland. You wait through all these lines outside finally reaching the door of the building only to discover there is more lines inside. But the line at least is still moving forward. Good luck on your NVC journey.

Good analogy not to mention the fact that at disneyland some people get a fastpass to move ahead to the front of the line at a designated time only difference between disneyland and USCIS is that you don't get that option to getting that fastpass in USCIS they pick who gets it and who doesn't , I can only hope I get to the front of that line soon as I feel I'm being pushed further back in it when I was near the front in the first place, I guess thats how the cookie crumbles in life.

“Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” (Corinthians 13:4-7)

So I just checked the mail, no NOA 2 yet. But I did get a letter from my congressman stating:

"The officer reviewing your application is in need of some additional information to complete the file. You will be receiving a request for additional evidence in the next several days. Please return the information requested as quickly as possible so that they can complete the application"

Sooo I knew I was going to get a RFE, hopefully not as bad as Sam_Onlines. I guess I should be happy it's not a denial it says so they can complete the file. =/ I'll let ya guys know what happens!

Good luck as your one step closer rather and only a small step back, the sooner you mail off the documents they want the quicker you are towards completion. :thumbs:

“Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” (Corinthians 13:4-7)
