Sadly I got a RFE today waiting for my NOA2

[glazierguy 20]

Do they respond quickly once you send them back what they want? I was very very meticulous so I have no idea what it could be for.

[Pitaya 2,577]

Likely in their usual manner.

[Yanyan 3]

What was your RFE all about?

[glazierguy 20]

i dont know yet, it was mailed yesterday. i called but they dont give any info guess its better then a denial. i just want to know of others experience. how quickly will they respond? i heard they respond quickly, at that point. its at tha california center. thanks

this is the typical ####### you can expect from our government, have to jump through every hoop just to be with the one you love. i KNOW i sent everything required, i prepared it for 3 hours with my brother who just did his and was approved.

the only possible thing i can think of is....not including ever single page of 2 of my divorce decrees. the i129 instructions say "proof" of divorce. i sent in the page where it said i was divorced, the date, and the judges signature. i did this for both divorces. that should be enough proof, obviously i was divorced or i couldnt have remarried!

[Pitaya 2,577]

You really need to receive and review the RFE notice. It is pure speculation at this point trying to figure out the reason for the RFE. Hopefully it will be something simple. At least you now know that your petition is now in the 'active processing' mode...

Good luck on your visa journey.

It actually does not just say 'proof'. They want a copy of the whole divorce decree.

From the I-129F form instructions >

a. If either of you was married before, submit evidence that all prior marriages have been terminated. Evidence of

termination of prior marriages may include a divorce decree

, or an annulment or a death certificate issued by a

competent civil authority.

You need to wait for the RFE though. You will only know exactly what they need from you once you read the letter they sent.

The divorce decree thing might be it. They replied to our RFE within 6 days of receiving it. I am CR-1/IR-1, but here's how it went for us:

March 4th, 2014 - RFE: Email/SMS received
March 10th, 2014 - RFE: Received snail mail with explanation
March 14th, 2014 - RFE: NSC received our reply
March 20th, 2014 - NOA 2! APPROVAL NOTICE VIA SMS/EMAIL!

It's best to fanatically over-inclusive, to be honest. We did that all the way through - never gave them any quarter to delay things. That's my 2 centavos.

i know im no different then anyone else, i just love my fiancee so much and we are both very sad. i hope this is fixable, i cannot imagine my life without her, thanks for all your help

I had a rfe for dna testing and they wont look at the results until the full 84 days they gave me to complete it expired even though it only took 1 month to complete. I just lost an extra 2 months . crazy

[Boggy1974 124]

One week to 21days.

My friend got approved a week after they receiving the RFE response.

[glazierguy 20]

thanks guys reasuring words from you guys is all that helps, i truly appreciate it.

Don't become to frantic yet..take some deep breaths it may be something small or not even pertaining to your divorce papers. And if it is relax and just follow every detail of the RFE.
