Its a sad event, but it can be a blessing in disguise. I did such a good follow up to the RFE I got on the K1 I filed, that my now wife flew through the interview. I think I was in a fog during the entire filing process. So much depended on these papers, I was so excited, I was so worried, its like my mind was constantly bouncing around. I thought I had it down perfect, but the RFE told me I made some mistakes. I really took my time and was very careful with the RFE. My now wife was all excited and wondering when I'd send the response. I told her I wouldn't rush it, something I think I did with the original petition, I super organised and explained exactly every thing I include in my response. When I returned the RFE I had total confidence, and six days later we had the NOA2.

It was hard to tell actually. While some get clearly worded RFE's, our's was just copy and pasted rules sections, with no explanation of the deficiency. One part was the rule requiring the letter of intent, we included original signed letters of intent, but we sent new ones where they were signed in a different color than the printed color. The originals were printed and signed in black ink. Another was the rules section on having met in the previous two years of filing and of having a valid relationship. I had sent what I thought was plenty of proof of the previous two visits. This is were I really went to town in the RFE and added a lot more proof and a decent length letter detailing how long I had know her. It was about 8 years at that point. Third was proof of my citizenship. I had a sent a copy of my birth certificate, and a copy of the bio page from my passport. Resent a copy of every page of my passport and sent an original birth certificate. Two of the areas it appeared I had sent enough, but a helpful and nice tier 2 customer service rep told me sometimes they loose things and to resend everything I sent before plus more, since there was no way to be sure they had not lost something, or maybe they wanted more proof. It was the relationship and meeting section of the RFE reply that made my wife's interview a breeze. The IO just made nice comments to my wife about things in the file and every time she asked if he'd like a copy of something, he'd say I already have it :rofl: There were no tough questions, just things like what do you plan to do in the USA, and you've really known your fiancé a long time. She was so worried before hand to, for what went very very easy, but that was a good thing.

Now thats getting tough to remember exactly, but I think it was about a week until the letter showed up. What I do clearly remember, is it felt like forever waiting for the letter.

Please don't stress its probably something minor or something that you have already sent and they just misplaced it. I to have been through a RFE and I think I freaked myself out more than I need to. Just try and relax and see what they ask for. Good Luck...
