RFE turnaround time?

[Leidlein 9]

Today our status changed to RFE. I'm kind of pissed. 8 months and 11 days of waiting for an RFE? Hired a lawyer and we were extremely thorough. Oh we'll.

Anyone know the typical turnaround on an RFE? From when they receive to when they respond? Assuming it will result in noa2

Same here. But instead of pissed, I'm an emotional mess, crying at work.

I had an RFE after 7 months of waiting for NOA2. We were notified via text/email that the RFE was coming but it took about a week to receive the actual letter detailing what we needed to do. It was a quick fix and we were able to submit it within a week. We received our NOA2 about 4-5 weeks later- approved! I tried to look at it like this- I was actually thankful for the RFE because it meant that someone was FINALLY reviewing our paperwork! We also had a lawyer, but had not been instructed to put both the full date/location on the back of our pictures (I think I just had the month/year listed). So, we had to provide further proof that we had met within 2 years of our application. I probably went overboard providing documents and support but I know it is all evidence that will need to be provided eventually, so front loading is not going to hurt. Hang in there and good luck!

We got also an RFE notice on April 5, 2013, received a notice again that they sent us a notice on April 9, received the hardcopy by mail on April 12th, replied on April 13th, they received it on April 15th and got a confirmation that they received our reply on April 17th, as to know when will be the NOA2, i dont know, i really hope it will not be more than 30 days. Hang in there, let's be thankful for 2nd chances. Cheers.

I also received my RFE today after only 4 months so I cannot complain. Can anyone help? I have heard anywhere from 30-60 days until it is approved after all necessary evidence is filed. Thanks!

Well sh*t! I am in the same boat, their instructions only told me the month and year of the photo along with other information shown below. Hope we do not get a RFE for something as trivial as the day.

PHOTOS OF U.S. CITIZEN AND FOREIGN FIANCE(E) TOGETHER. 3 to 10 photos of U.S. Citizen and Foreign Fiance(e) together. You should include pictures that clearly show both of your faces in the SAME picture frame. If possible, include 1-2 additional photos with you and your Foreign Fiancé (e) with Foreign Fiancé (e)’s family and/or friends and/or one where you may be celebrating the engagement.

YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ON THE BACK OF EACH PHOTO:

1) Month and Year the photo was taken;

2) City and Country where photo was taken;

3) What you were doing at the time the photo was taken (i.e. Dinner at restaurant, Engagement party, at the park, etc.); and

4) If others are also in the photo, you must explain or identify them (i.e.

mother, father, relative, friend).

Wait a minute, that is absolutely the silliest reason for a RFE ever! You could have had the pictures taken 20 years ago, but as long as you wrote down the date being within the last two years (the exact date), then you are good to go? Do these people at the service centers possess a brain?

i have 7 months and 5 days waiting for the noa2 and nothing yet. no rfe ether my case is on vermont

i open two times already a e-request on uscis . and they just reply said my case is on normal timelines

[kfischm1 18]

Well, my RFE may be for the pictures then because I didn't include the names of other people or exactly what we were doing. I mean, I figured they would look at the picture and be a little observant like, hmm, looks like these people are enjoying dinner with friends. I figured our names, month and year and city and country was enough. I guess I'll find out in a few days what my RFE is for.
