The fact that you got an RFE means that they actually have touched your file which is a good thing. Looking at your timeline, I think you should be hearing some good news very soon on your NOA2 :) . In the visa journey here it's mentioned that typically Vermont takes about 19-20 days after the receipt of reply to the RFE.

By the way if you do not mind sharing with us, what was the RFE about?

Cheers.

Oh boy, that's a big howler from your lawyer. By the time I joined Visa Journey I already hired an attorney. You really do not need one if you follow all the guidelines here. This is an incredible forum with all the information that one needs for this process. I realized there are so many members here who got their K1 visa's without the help of an attorney and just following the guidelines here. I hope my attorney does not mess up my petition.

Anyway I wish you all the very best on your K1 journey :) . I will check for your post on NOA2 very soon hopefully :) .

Cheers.
