So i hadnt logged on in a couple of weeks. Seems like a lot of crongratulations are in order! Unfortunately we just received an RFE on the 13th, exactly 5 months and 1 day from our NOA1... kind of upsetting,The forum has grown about 50 pages since i logged on last and i didnt get a chance to read through them all. If anyone got an RFE recently can you private message me how long until you received the RFE response after mailing what they needed? please! i would greatly appreciate it

Ah. sorry to hear about the RFE. We're all hanging in there. 151 days? hmm. looks like quite a few people have been hearing something around the 150 mark. Gives me some hope at least.

Yes and hopefully no RFE for you! What makes things worse is not knowing what the rfe is for until we get the hard capy. Dont know what would be worse, if its for something or lawyer forgot or something immigration lost! Just wait and see i guess

Yes. It is always possible that they lost something. I'm prepared for anything at this point. It does look like VSC is coming to life now. Quite a few approvals. 6 timelines updated so far today. Welcome Back VSC. Welcome Back.

I think next week will be a good week for us. They seem to be breaking into the middle of the month. And now my VJ timeline shifted ha. I'm actually within range again. It's nice to look at it and no longer see the dates having passed. Just something comforting about it.
