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.

Agreed, I have seen the same thing. The good thing to remember like this member posted is that someone did look at your file and i have seen in many cases where approval has come within a week or two after you submit to them the required information in association with the RFE. Agreed, totally sucks to get an RFE when you just want to see APPROVED but in any case this is better than waiting around not knowing anything. Best of luck to you and I hope everything goes smoothly! Keeps us posted on your progress!

We called when we got the RFE but they would not tell us what it was for...a week later we had the hard copy in the mail. It was the size of the passport photos we had sent! (we had them taken in Mexico & they cut them smaller than the 2x2 size!) To get new ones we had Lupita & kids go back retake photos & the shop emailed them to us, we printed them the correct size & sent them in. Fast!

The RFE set us back maybe 3 weeks...I would say it is good news for you since you have been waiting so long! Just send in what ever they need & my guess is you guys will be together in the USA by the end of June!

Congrats...they are looking at your case FINALLY!!!

Well, I got the hard copy of the RFE today.

All they asked for was one passport-size photo of me. SO weird, because I sent them passport photos of myself with the initial filing, along with passport photos of my fiance, and they were taken at the same place so it can't be a size issue.

I went today and got passport photos retaken. They only asked for one, but I sent two to be safe.

They didn't ask for any of my fiance, which seems weird. I guess the ones of him we sent the first time were enough.

Ughhh!! I hope this gets sorted soon. :(
