Hi guys,

Sam and I are wondering if unluckily we got a RFE instead of NOA2, so once we fixed the problem and send our file back to them, will they take it as a special case so we might not need to line up again and they would look at it as soon as they got our file back?

2007-01-25: Received NOA2 in mail

From what I understand, once the RFE is sent back with the required documents AND the RFE letter on top - that is important because it directs the file to the right desk it is on - the file will be taken up immediately and in many cases, soon after given an NOA2. I have checked out other timelines with RFE's and very often the case is approved within days of receiving the asked-for documents. So NO, it is NOT again lined up behind other recently received cases!

Timelines with RFEs seem to be approved very shortly after the RFE is satisfied. No, don't worry, if you get an RFE that doesn't mean you go back to the end of the line... :no:

Looking at your timeline, I think you will hear something very soon :dance:

It all depends... in most cases you should get your approval shortly after you send in the RFE.

It seems that RFE's sent from CSC are processed very quickly once they recieve what they asked for. Alot of peoples timelines show a NOA2 sent just 3 or 4 days after the RFE has been received. Now - Vermont seems to be a little - or a lot - slower at processing RFEs.
