Aimee, from what I have seen here on the boards, MOST RFE's get sent out in the 2-4 weeks after the biometrics appointment. They *can* RFE you as late as at the interview, but most of the time if you get your interview letter/EAD approval you are in the clear.

Congrats! Its all very exciting. I feel like life has been a whirlwind this year.

LOL too funny. However, the jokes do get old real quick! I had so many co-workers tease me about calling ICE on me. Not funny after awhile...I'm getting into the habit of not offering up that I'm not American when I meet someone lol

I think everyone will be relieved thats exciting closing on your first home :):D

Thanks! It's all very exciting!! :)
