Well, I just got back from the INFOPASS.

They told me, last Thursday an RFE was sent out and I should be receiving it in the mail today or tomorrow. Now the thing is - the website never updated to say I was RFEd? The lady was very confused by this, but that is all the information she could of gave me at the current time.

Atleast its something. Has anyone else heard about being RFE'd though and never getting the website alert, but the letter in the mail?

Welcome back, I think that;s good news. Your application is being worked on.

However, I think she should have been able to tell you exactly what the RFE was for and probably get you a copy of the notice as well.

My suggestion is to set up another INFO PASS and go back to request the RFE (copy of the RFE) so you can take it there personally. Thoughts ?

In the meantime you should call USCIS to verify this over the phone, letting them know you just came from this meeting and you forgot to ask what was the RFE for (so you can start preparing while you wait on it in the mail - This is what I would have done)

INFOPASS told me they can not give out the RFE notice since it is coming directly from the CSC - they told me I just have to wait to see what the letter is for. You think the USCIS might have that information? Their site still shows Initial Review, and never got swapped over to RFE, quite crazy.

That's crazy indeed... Site should have updated (unless whoever is working on your case is such a$$$ and never updated)

But I really think INFO should have given you that info. I would call USCIS and just try to talk to tier 2. They should know exactly what's being RFE'd (In my view ) They shouldn't keep that secret since the mail is coming your way....

you're not alone with not being notified. dehiguey23 (read earlier posts) received his notices very late too. they got their noa2 on friday but nothing came in until sunday 11pm. guess the system is very overloaded or was down some time for updating. even when he checked uscis their case was still showing initial stage. hang in there....an rfe is an easy fix......right?

this is good news, they're working on your case.......hurrrahhhhhh!!!!

My dear friends and almost family, it is with great pleasure and happiness that I can give you all this message: "On August 15, 2014, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283".

I'm extremely happy! I do want to tell my buds Don123, and Mrs thb that this happened in a very weird way, but also everyone else please check this out: I got the text and email last night (Sunday the 17th) at 11:00pm on the dot even though I've been approved since Friday and I've been checking twice an hour even over the weekend and it showed up as pending still!! So when you least expect it it'll happen for you too! I want to thank Dualie for praying for us all and for crossing her fingers and toes lol, it works better when the toes are closed too!! But most importantly, I want to thank God for having given me the patience to withstand this excruciating painful first step. I will be here until Mrs thb and Don123 get approved! We're here for you guys!! Love ya all!!

Congrats :dancing: Good luck with NVC, its really strange all the people in this forum don't knw each other in person but everyone is happy for each others success and happy to help. May god bless all the people, Really happy for u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No experience with RFEs but from what I have read, they won't/can't tell you what the RFE is for. Just send whatever it is as soon as you get the notice. At least they are working on your case, right? I sure hope you get your approval soon! :)
