OMFG! We have the same NOA1 date and I am at VSC too! ###### this got my hopes up now! I'm currently visiting my fiance in the US, until bnext Tuesday, it would be so amazing if we heard from them this week!! So sorry you got an RFE though :( I'm so afraid of that!

Us too!!!! We haven't even had a touch. I'm hoping that we get news before I leave for Japan on the 18th or his mom will have to forward stuff to us there, which would still be ok because that would mean we are onto the next step, RFE or not.

Woo hoo :dance: yay VSC!!!

Just got my packet 3 letter from the consulate today. Things are moving fast!

Things I'm working on:

- Printing out packet 3 forms and getting them ready to fax back.

- Getting a criminal record check from Australia (spent a year there). They say it takes 30 days to process, plus mailing time. Am a little worried this is going to be the thing that slows everything else down. Have to get fingerprints done locally and then mail them to Oz.

- Getting a varicella immunity blood test, to see if I need the chickenpox vaccination or not. Takes about 5 days. Then:

- Getting the other immunization I need. Then:

- Scheduling my medical

- Getting passport photos taken

- Getting my local criminal record check done

- Hustling my fiance to get his affidavit of support and our co-sponsor's affidavit together and in the mail

Already ordered my long form birth certificate -- that only took a couple weeks.

Weee!

July 3, 2011 - POE at Pacific Central Station

July 25, 2011 - AOS mailed

August 30, 2011 - RFE (ARRRRGH)

September 26, 2011 - Biometrics appt

Sept 30 - Response to RFE sent in.

November 22, 2011 - Interview @ San Bernardino. Approved! Went down the street and got a passport stamp too, so I can travel for xmas.

NO MORE DEALING WITH IMMIGRATION FOR TWO WHOLE YEARS! AMAZING!

OMFG! We have the same NOA1 date and I am at VSC too! ###### this got my hopes up now! I'm currently visiting my fiance in the US, until bnext Tuesday, it would be so amazing if we heard from them this week!! So sorry you got an RFE though :( I'm so afraid of that!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you! Im sure the RFE has something to do with too little evidence of ongoing relationship. My fiance has only submitted pictures and some statements. I have read on the forums that pictures and statements alone are considered secondary evidence and thus a RFE Primary evidence are airfares stubs, hotel receipts and credit card statements stuff like that. I just wish i found Visa Journey before, i only found it recently, the amount of info and support here is overwhelming.
