We got an RFE today. Like I said I was expecting it. Didn't get a text or email but I checked the website about an hour ago. I live pretty close to VT so lets hope it gets here in a few days.

Grats to those with an NOA2 :)

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

Initially filed for K1 visa - Feb 23 2012

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we've abandoned this application

We married on Aug 24, 2013 in a small ceremony in MA

We'll be applying for a CR1 / IR1 visa as soon as we are able

I live in NJ and I got my RFE letter 2 days after they updated my status online. They just received my response 30 minutes ago which I mailed out yesterday via USPS Express Mail. Finger crossed for both of us to process our petitions 14 days max. after they receive our response. I don't know even how long it takes them to update the status from RFE to RFE Response Review.

Keep in touch and be prepared to submit what they want ASAP.

So, I have a question. As we're approaching our 8th month I'm starting to wonder if something else might be in play here. The thing is, my sister is married to a man from Jordan and I didn't even know this until I told her I was marrying Nick from the UK. We don't have the best relationship and I consider her a total flake but that's besides the point. The thing is that the guy is 20 years younger than her and was married to another woman just ten days before they got married and he almost filed a VAWA against this chick, but instead he married my sister. Right, so I think there's something fishy about it and that he's taking her for a ride. However, she swears up and down that she loves him and that's it's legitimate. Fine, what are you going to do? She is my sister after all. However, I told her I didn't want any part in it. I've never met the guy, and from the one conversation I did have with him I didn't have a good feeling about him. Now, I'm guessing because of all their differences, along with the fact of the huge age gap, that he's from Jordan, and that they basically didn't tell anyone they were getting married until like 6 months after... I'm guessing that they have been flagged as a high fraud case. So, here is Nick and I trying to get married. Genuinely, we are deeply in love and this case is taking FOREVER to get approved. My question is... do you think that my sisters currently pending case with USCIS to get her husband into the country could be affecting the quickness at which my case is being processed? I'm really beginning to wonder.

Personally, I don't think so. I think each case is treated individually and I don't recall having to say anything about brothers and sisters on the forms - They don't know you're linked to your sister - assuming you don't live at the same address.

No, we don't even live in the same state. Though my parents did write affidavits for both of our relationships. I don't know. Maybe I'm letting myself get a little too worried over it. It just seems like a long time for something not to be majorly wrong.

Hopefully it is a simple RFE like mine and it was approved in 2 weeks after I responded.

When responding to a Request for Evidence it is extremely important that you place the blue coversheet on the top of the response you send to them. The VSC receives thousands of pieces of correspondence each day, if the blue coversheet is not on the top of the response it will be placed in “general” correspondence and NOT sorted as a priority, which may delay your case.

I think you'll be fine, I just checked your profile and you said you have had an RFE. So I would think all problems would have been highlighted in that RFE. So once they have the paperwork back it seems to be 2-3 weeks for approval after that. So you're almost there :)
