Moved from Process & Procedures to Progress Reports.

Status change to REF today, now sad. I hope this is not bad news. Looking for input as to what this could be.

No one will be able to tell you what the RFE is for; you won't know what it is for until you receive the notice in the mail.

While RFEs arent good they also arent bad as they indicate your case is being worked on. They indicate that people make mistakes when they file the case docs.

No one can say what the problem is. You will know whne you get the actual RFE in the mail. Respond asap and you should see the case resume within two weeks to two months.

I don't know what it's for but my lawyer didn't seem concerned. My fear is that it will delay the process for a long time. We were thought we migh have everything completed by the end of the year, now sadly we dont' see that happening.

Thanks,

The one we got for my petition took two months to resolve even though we responded within a week. The one we got during the AOS took two weeks because we submitted the responce to our local office as they requested.

I agree that RFE is good news for you. It means that they have gotten to your case already. Some people are waiting more than five months for USCIS to review their cases. As soon as you respond satisfactorily to the RFE, your case will be approved.

Best wishes
