I got a RFE at 7:45 am! I am so happy because this means I won't be waiting for months and months and months! I'll mail off whatever they need ASAP and then on to the slow process with NVC. smile.png 23 days from NOA1... amazing!

Hi LizzieBee,

no0pb.gif You are so positive and that's so awesome! Please tell me how you were informed of the RFE at 7:45 am. I want to assume text or email because of the specific time you mentioned. The reason I ask is because I never got a text or an email or even a case update to RFE status on the USCIS website, but today (11/22/13) I came home form work and I checked the mail and I got a RFE in the mail. The RFE is dated November 16th. I'm actually rather confused by it because we sent in what they are requesting and we are working with an immigration attorney. By no means do I mean that my lawyer is infallible...in fact right now I feel like I should have done this myself. Anyways, please let me know. Thanks. Good luck to you.

Wow we are almost on the same timeline, even the engagement! Should be interesting to see how quick we get NOA2.

I just got an E mail from USCIS stating that my petition has been approved. Thank you Jesus for your blessings. I feel so overwhelmed at this point.

Hi guys!

So this is what happened to my case, was wondering if there's anyone who also had a name change?

Any estimates as to when my NOA2 will come?

But whew! At least I know they're looking at my application and it isn't floating around aimlessly!

Hi! I got a text message first and I think the email arrived while I was still staring (stunned) at the SMS. It happened within minutes of each other I believe. The physical RFE arrived in the mail today (next business day, but three actual elapsed days from the digital notices.) I mention that so people know that they mail things VERY QUICKLY. I almost wondered if they had actually prepared it all the night before and just sent the message the next morning because it was 6:45 am California time. Do they really work that early? But I had checked my account the night before and it hadn't been touched according to the system, which I assume is the most current thing.

Anyway, I got it in the mail today around 4:45 p.m. and mailed off my reply at 5:30 p.m. I had not checked a couple boxes that I assumed only applied to military. My mistake, but I'm glad I apparently got everything else done the right way. PHEW! I hope I got it right this time. I tried calling USCIS to clarify something (as her their suggestion on the letter) and they only gave me a long message about RFEs in general and telling me to call an attorney with any specific questions. Lame!

I'm sorry you're having some frustration with your process. The whole thing is so overwhelming. I'll be relieved when I got my NOA2 that means I got it right the second time. It'll be so frustrating if I got it wrong a second time! I even included a short letter explaining my answers this time, so I'm crossing my fingers!

Hello everyone it has been a week since we received our NOA2. Congrats to all of us!!! And sending everyone who haven't received their yet good luck and positive thoughts

Now that most of us received our NOA2, what is the next step?

Do we wait for USCIS to send us "packet 3"??

Or should we start gathering needed documents?

Then again I don't know which documents to start preparing other then my Affidavit Support helpsmilie.gif

Just got an email from Sydney consulate (where my fiancé lives) requesting to submit packet 3 !!! Woohoo!

After I received NOA2 in October, I hadn't heard anything from NVC. Now we move on to medical and all the other stuff. Feeling so grateful :)
