rfe ?

[jpine 0]

Hey got my rfe today. ####### it is, but alteast easy. They are missing my passport photo. I know for a fact i sent it must have got lost in the shuffle. I bought those stupid little plastic bags when i first applied luckily i didnt throw them out. Not big deal. My question is, is it possible to get another rfe now? Meaning did they approve more or less my whole file just waiting for this passport photo. Or do they read page one of my app. (for example) see they are missing something, send rfe, receive rfe, then go to page 2 (example) then see i am missing something from page 2 then send another rfe. Just wondering if i am really close to my noa2 or can have more bumps in the road ahead of me. It seems logical they basiclly approved me with the exception of my rfe, wait for the rfe then approval. That is logical and this is the govt. so i can be completely off base.

William did you get your rfe yet? If so what was it for.

Thanks

OMG - does this ####### ever end? Like they couldn't have looked at your file say, 3 months ago and noticed that they couldn't find your photo? If this happens to me at this point I will really lose it.

Let's hope thy have already processed everything else - but the truth is there is no logic here and no way to tell what the hell they are doing there . . .

SEND IT BACK FAST and good luck!

RFE's for missing information/documentation or that need further evidence are never issued until a petition has begun processing by an adjudicator. This has always been standard practice. When a petition is first received all they do is remove & check that payment is correct, that one is eligible to file and it has a correct signature. Nothing else is done at this point as it is not their job to adjudicate. They are in the mail room only. RFE's sent out re the IMBRA were done only to make the petitions sumbitted compliant with IMBRA. It does not mean that petitions have begun to be adjudicated nor checked for any missing information/documentation or that need further evidence where another RFE will be issued.

It would be unusual if you received another RFE as an adjudicator will go through your entire package and the RFE will be issued for All that may be missing or more evidence etc needed. Generally once you return what is required an approval is not too far away. That being said.....one can still be held up if there is a name hit etc.

Right - I get that's how it works. But between April 11 and the day they sent out the IMBRA RFE, there was quite a bit of time to take care some initial processing. I am aware that they couldn't actually complete anything until the IMBRA RFEs were returned and the petitions were compliant. But I don't believe that implies they were unable to do any work. In fact, they sent out emails indicated that preliminary processing had been completed prior to the RFE being sent out and returned. So it's hard for me to fathom they that could not have noticed a missing photo just a tiny bit earlier. Well at this point it's hard for me to understand anything they are doing.
