RFE after 6.5 months of waiting...

[monyfer 27]

Well, I guess bad news is better than no news - but still - #######? I know I included EVERYTHING. I was SO vigiliant and detail obsessive. I sent every document, every form, signed every line. Everything was in order. I don't know what it could be.

I guess they sent me a letter today with the information about what is missing. Does anyone know, if I call the 1-800 number, will they tell me over the phone what the RFE is for?

Does anyone know, once I supply the information, how long it will take to receive approval? Like a month from now? Other experiences?

This is ridiculous...ughh!!!!!!

I know it sucks, but at least someone looked at your file. I have seen here people getting approval after RFE in a week or two. Hopefully the turnaround is quick! Best of luck to you.

That's great as a matter of fact, a soon you send whatever info they requested it should get approve the following week

Monyfer,

it is a good sign you get an RFE cuz after that ! You will get approved Hang in there

No one will be able to tell you on the phone what the RFE is for. Just wait for the letter.

I got a RFE on 15th april and we are waiting for hardcopy...

[Moomin 292]

It took 5 days from email to hardcopy in mailbox so if you're lucky by the end of this week.

I scanned everything and prepared so the response would get thrown back to USCIS but you can't prepare for everything. They wanted proof of the USC had never been married. He he! We had to call them up and ask what on earth that was about; He, my fiance, hasn't been married before and it is rare to see them asking for that from a USC.

Anyways, good luck. You're already over the longest wait - remember that : ) But no, you won't know what the RFE is about until getting the hardcopy.

sorry to hear about u got RFE,i know ur waiting for so long for ur noa2, but dont worry, just send them what they're asking from u and u will be fine, what good is that u know they're touching ur case now... and soon u will gonna have ur noa2 too... God bless..

I just don't know what it could possibly be for. I made a copy of the whole packet. We signed and dated everything. Included all necessary forms, copies of passport stamps, boarding passes (even two showing us on the SAME flight together), a dozen photos with dates, e-mails, Skype phone records, copy of my BC, copy of my passport, copy of his US tourist visa, his passport, the passport photos for both of us.......EVERYTHING.

I think USCIS is punishing me for calling to bug them about my case so much during these months.

I have no clue what it can be...hope it isn't something stupid - I heard USCIS lost another couple's birth certificate, and wanted another copy. Such incompetence.

Sorry to hear about your RFE, but it's not the end of the world. I've received them in the past and just make sure you provide them with what they requested, make copies for yourself and mail it in again the same way you sent your I129F. You are ahead of the game and it's an just a slight inconvenience. Best of luck to you and yours!! Time to prepare for the interview in CDJ. Keep your chin up and take care!!

Aww I know it sucks, but at least there is hope that they are dealing with your case..Yea I hope they didn't lose anything! Good luck on having a speedy turn around! I 'd say it couldn't hurt to call to find out.

[Fofochinho73 8]

So terribly sorry to hear about this. What a nightmare. Good luck and hope you guys can pull through the rest quickly!

[charlize56 4]

I got an RFE before NOA2 and it was because I needed to supply copies of all the pages of my passport to prove I was in Chile in the last two years before filing. The RFE is a heartbreaker, but it can be resolved rather quickly...especially if it is something little. Hang in there!!!!

Did you include letters of intent to marry for both?

[Casprd 167]

As stressful as it is, this means you're close to the end of this step. You can't do anything until you get the letter, but hopefully it will be an easy fix. Could be something as simple as you forgot to sign a form or information in one of the fields is missing. We got our RFE letter in about a week and within a few days of responding we had our NOA2.

Hang in there. Sounds like your close
