so at least something is happening, I just wish it was not a RFE. I have just received the email (twice), I hope the snail mail arrives soon.

Did the email tell you what the RFE was?

No, I think the emails never do. All it says is "Please follow the instructions on the notice ..."

So I finally received news via snail mail from USCIS, it's an RFE. Not a big deal though, they are requesting Marlon's divorce decree that I had already submitted. I will pop it in the mail tomorrow. I called Marlon and of course he HAD to ask me if I submitted it with the petition and I was like yes I did! lol I had to explain to him that sometimes they ask for documents that they already have. I'm just glad I finally heard something! lol I was a tad bit disappointed but hey, that's all they asked for! I won't let it ruin my big day today!

oooh nooooooo, you got a RFE too? I am sorry for you

at least an end of the waiting is in sight

Arnt - what did you send the first time? Maybe between the people here at the big, long RFE thread in the main K1 forum, you can piece together what they might be asking for? get a jump on the slow moving snail mail?

(Could be for something they already have and just missed too, darn them.)

Thanks, I hope the snail mail comes quickly and the RFE is minor.

We send everything according to the VJ Guides (IIRC). From all I have read here on VJ I have learned that they mostly ask for

1. proof of having met (we did send pics and boarding passes)

2. birth certificates (we sent copies of the passport instead)

3. divorce decrees (we sent everything my SO has)

I have read in another post that in another case they asked for the beneficiary's birth certificate even although all pages of the passport had been sent. So I will send Anna my brand new birth certificate (international version, I ordered several copies to prepare for interview, AOS etc.), as well as more pictures, boarding passes, credit card receipts.

I already figured out where to order new fresh certified copies of the divorce decree. So when the RFE arrives my SO should be prepared to send everything back as soon as possible.

... and thanks for still supporting us Jan filers without NOA2

Hello all,

Does anyone have the poverty guidelines link handy? Where it states you have to earn 125% or something of that nature.

thanks George, and please don't worry if nothing happens for a while after you got touched. I have studied many many signatures and a lot of people get two touches in a row and then a week later ... a NOA2!

Good looking out Arnt!!! Thank you

Sorry about the RFE Arnt! I didn't get an email though, just the snail mail and it states on it what I need to resubmit. I DID send his decree with the petition but only 1 of 2 pages as he had only sent me the one. It is in the mail tomorrow.

Congrats on the touches!

[mr_s_p 1]

Our last touch was Apr 27 and then my USC fiancee received an RFE... guess one of the legal documents she had was missing a signature. With small town Kansas, she got that done and sent off the next day. It was received at CSC on May 5 at some early hour of the morning.

Since then, nothing... zip... nada... A whole week without anything!!!! Obviously, the trend of following an RFE with a quick NOA2 is not happening for us...

But it seems that there hasn't been a single NOA2 this week at all. Wonder if they were all at training or something like that...

I've updated my page. It was a slow week. A few more January and February NOA2's, and I see one more February interview/visa approval...

Arnt, so sorry for your RFE.. At least you know what they took so long with the touches. Soon, you'll be fine..

WHERE IS OUR RFE?! Or NOA-2?

Dang...get that info in and get your NOA2...I am pulling for you guys...

Boo on th RFE's. At least we know there's something going on at CSC besides mere touches. My USC fiancee has been checking the mail, and nothing. Just the touches on our case last week.

Good luck on the rest of the January group waiting for the NOA2's. Thanks for all of the support from everyone, I really appreciate it. It helps so much. Hopefully next week will be a better one.
