I think someone asked earlier how fast the RFE showed up. We got the email notice on Feb 10th and the paper version was in the in-laws' mailbox on the 14th.

We got the RFE because of our marriage certificate. Apparently it's not good enough, since it was not a civil ceremony. We got married in a church, which is completely normal and legal in Finland. We called USCIS and they told us to mail the marriage certificate again and explain that the said document is valid... If they deny us, I have no idea what to do anymore, since we can't get exactly married again in the civil registrar's office just to please NSC. We have been married for several years already. We did however, get a piece of paper from the civil registrar's that shows we are married, but it's not a marriage certificate. I guess now we wait again...

What service center?

11/17/2016: Got engaged
11/28/2016: I-130 sent to Chicago IL lock box
01/12/2016: NOA1

The purpose of a real timeline is to build up statistics data for more accurate approval estimates. So it would really help other members if more people filled theirs in.
