Thanks everyone!! :)

Tex every time I see my email and you have posted something I get so anxious to see if you got approval. I don't know how you guys are handing it, but you are one strong lady. You have been nothing but positive and to see this happening really pisses me off. I got more to say, but I'll probably get banned from VJ.

Thank you Vos :)

I'm not feeling very strong anymore - this week has been absolutely dreadful.. I hate it when my kids see me cry.

I feel like giving up. How can we be so close and yet it seems so far?? :crying:

Our congress lady got back to me in writing today.. this is the email she forwarded from USCIS:

Good morning,

In reference to EAC129030xxxx, this case was received on 1/31/2012. We received a response to the RFE on 7/18/2012. This case is currently with an officer as of 8/7/2012. Please allow 30 days for the officer to review.

Thank you,

Laurie

Immigration Services Officer / Congressional Unit

USCIS | Vermont Service Center

They say it was received on 1/31, but the website had said 1/27... whateves... :bonk:

Does this mean 30 days from the date the officer has received it? If so, 30 days is up next week..... :huh:

So close, yet so far... :(

Well, we didn't get any RFEs but I would check and see if there is a time period stated in which you must reply...they might have said to reply within XX number of days and if you don't, that would be a problem.......otherwise the only problem is that you will keep on waiting even longer to be together!!!

And this is why I haven't been on here a lot the last few weeks.......I so thought that our timeline would look like yours and we would be moving right now :( Don't get me wrong, I am really happy for you......just bummed out that we have this insanely slow embassy AND that we got stuck waiting for a month for our papers just to get to NVC. Ridiculous. That put us behind even more.....just tired of waiting. And I feel like we are still waiting since we still have to go to the interview and get their "ok" to move forward with our lives........ahhhhhh this process is just making me insane. I have tried to stay positive b/c we do have NOA2 and we are in the same country and all but I want to go home and get on with things and see my family......just stressed out with all of this, I guess. Anyway, congrats! Enjoy!!!

And Texas--------where is the good news?! What day will be the end of the 30 days or whatever it was? You said next week but which one?! Haha. I will be on here checking all day that day ;)

There is a date on the RFE that he needs to reply to by. Our RFE was dated July 5th, and we needed to send a response by September 30th... it says it right on the paperwork. They also advise you to return it ASAP... so I would suggest you have your fiance return the evidence as soon as possible. Besides, the longer it takes to respond and send them what they want, the longer it will take for you to get your NOA2. Good luck.

Well it has been with an officer since August 7th, so I would say officially Sept 6th, (31 days in August). But who knows, they could easily come back and say - "No we mean 30 working days" - Who knows? :huh: I don't put anything past them.

Yes dear, that means you will get an answer by next week. Also when they say your petition was received on 31st, they mean when it was received at Vermont.
