I can't understand what is going on but there are so many RFEs coming out. So sorry for everyone that got an RFE. Hope they can approve you quickly, so you can get on to the next stage...

Goodluck.

My fiance called NVC on Monday and we got our number and the package is on its way to the embassy. But I feel bad about all the people who have not got their NOA2s and are getting RFEs. I hope everything works out soon. For everyone here. Praying for all of us. God see us through this hard time and trying journey. But one day we will look back on these days and smile...Soon enough people

there is this theory about RFEs that the adjudicator gives it so the clock can restart for them and they have more time. If that is true, it's horrible and heartless but why am I even surprised?It's exactly like this whole process!

Guys, don't be alarmed by the number of RFE's that are being sent out, please!

When I went through the petitions for all of December a heck of a lot of RFE's were sent out anyway. It's perfectly normal! There are a lot of people out there that don't read instructions or do need additional information. I even mentioned it earlier in this thread that I was surprised at the number of RFE's that I was seeing. It's nothing out of the ordinary at all

Glad to hear it..It would be awful to be arbitrarily hit with an RFE after waiting so long...Just hope today I'll receive approval..

for the adjudicator we are just a number and sth he has to work on... he/she doesn't see a person behind those numbers, it's horrible and soulless but that's the way it is... we are just a job they need to do to meet some (unknown for us) deadlines!

awwww I am sure it had to be hard for you! Fingers crossed for you guys!

Terry visits me on September 1st so I am pretty sure we will be approved by then... Since he told me he is coming over, I see this whole waiting in a different light :) Next time I say goodbye to him, I'll know for 99% when will I see him again :)

well to be honest the instruction on USCIS website are not that clear... So I'd say a lot of those RFEs are for people not too familiar with the process or VJ... people on VJ sometimes also joined after they sent the petitions :)so it's all a big fat guess!

are you contacting your congressman today or tomorrow? I think we will wait till Monday after we hit 6 months this Friday :) just so we pass the 6 months and they can't tell us we are within processing time the whole day on that 6 month's day... :D knowing them, it's possible haha

Yes. Decided to wait until tomorrow for the office to initiate any contact with USCIS..because knowing how they operate, I don't want to leave any chance that they try to say today is still within normal processing time haha. However, Katchoo's Congressman was able to push an expedite through exactly at 6 months..Waiting one more day for my Congressman to act isn't so bad. So I think I'll do it. Although I will phone them today to explain the situation in greater detail.
