So I reached out to my Congressmen/Senators and received a phone call today my senators office! I received a letter from the other senator saying I wasn't past the 60 day notice. My congressmen asked for a signed notice to investigate the case and Im still waiting. Basically no new info BUT (and this may already be known) she mentioned that the dates on the website are "old" because that allows them to change the 60 days notice....

So basically to allow them to keep the backlog they keep the older dates up, so since it still says April/March it isn't 60 days past our May PD's. She agreed this was unfair but they are trying their best bla bla... She then mentioned she is working on other cases that have a PD of Jan and Feb of 2013! and have basically been put to the back of the list due to the transfers!! So in an odd sense because we were transferred we have moved ahead of previous applications.

She also mentioned the NVC/Stage II and told me the current wait times for the embassy we would be using. She mentioned that they send packets to the NVC and the order they are in is not tied in anyway to passing the CIS stage...

Well #######...

On February 10, 2014, we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence or information in this case I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the requested information. This case will be in suspense until we receive the evidence or the opportunity to submit it expires. Once we receive the requested evidence or information and make a decision on the case, you will be notified by mail. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

A request for evidence is made when an application/petition is lacking required documentation/evidence (initial evidence) or the officer needs more documentation/evidence (additional evidence) to determine an applicant's eligibility for the benefit sought. We may send you a request for evidence at any stage of our review. The request will indicate what evidence or information is needed for us to fully evaluate your application or petition. The notice will explain where to send the evidence and will give the deadline for your response. Your application or petition will be held in suspense during that time. If you receive a request for evidence and have questions about what you need to submit, you may call our National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

So we got an RFE for who knows what reason... I know there's a bunch of people now thinking that we should be happy that our case is at least under review, but to be honest I'm not happy, I'm extremely disappointed. It took them almost 9 months to decide we are lacking something. We have no idea what it is that they want and Lord only knows when we'll get the notice to Finland. It's taken several weeks for each notice to show up here.

That in mind, does anyone know how long we have to answer this request?

Congrats to those who got approved, good luck to the rest of us.
