Congrats! We received it today too

allmost the same time line so far

Got the text just now...and we've got an RFE. Not what I was hoping for...but at least my case was touched? I'm a little (okay, a lot) concerned about what they could need. We submitted so much evidence, we triple checked everything, and we have a lawyer who did the same. I'm spinning out of control with the negative thoughts now. And how much extra time will this add?

Whew...just had to get that out there! I guess there's no point in worrying until I actually see what they need. Let's hope it's minor.

Congrats to all the approved cases - they are working hard today!

Stay calm and wait for them to give you more information. Remember an RFE can be a boon, in that it can allow you to strengthen your evidence!

True. This is me stepping away from the ledge...

I had a simple RFE and was approved around two weeks after I responded to it. Hopefully it will be a simple RFE.

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/CSC 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.

That is great information. Thank you!

Don't worry! I am totally sure that you will be approved soon. As you said, you triple-checked everything so it must be a minor evidence they need now.

I hope so! I keep going over it in my head and I really don't see how they would need more evidence of our relationship. Let's hope it's something small and administrative.

It will be something tiny! (It might be only the passport photos.)

When I see approvals for petitioners with the same date as ours I get excited and then disappointed to see that our status is till the same

It's hard not to do that...that's what I thought all last week. It seems like they made it through a wave of them yesterday. Hopefully you're next!

So, the mystery continues. I just got another text/email that my case status has changed. It says RFE again. I called USCIS and they refuse to tell me if it is a duplicate notification or if I actually have two separate RFEs to deal with at the same time. Has anyone experienced this?

I'm at my wit's end here.

It may be time to fire the lawyer...

Aren't lawyers bascially waste of money in visa procedures? It's probably a glitch. Don't worry too much and wait for the hard copy.

Yep, we hired the lawyer before I found this site. The funny thing is we basically hired him to AVOID an RFE. It's frustrating that USCIS can't even tell us if they are different requests.
