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...

Ahhh man, I am so bummed for all of you getting RFEs right now. It was such a happy week here at VJ last week...what the heck happened!?! Just FYI, when I received an RFE it took one week from the day CSC actually received my RFE reply before they acknowledged it and set me an email that they had received it. It then took 3 days from the date they said they received it until my NOA2....Hang in there~ hopefully this will go quickly for all of you.

I've added some pages to my website. I'll try to keep a running list for 2007 NOA2's along with my general statistics page. It is automated as much as I could, but its still time consuming so I can't possibly update the individual months too often. The site is still really rough, but I don't get paid much for this!!!!

I had a look at our copies and I think the reason for our RFE is a missing signature too. I will post details in the RFE masterlist as soon as we have the letter.

At least with a RFE there is an end to the waiting in sight! Hang in there fellows :thumbs: !

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?

Sounds like it's been a week of RFEs... I'm still waiting to hear SOMETHING. Atleast with an RFE, you have something you can work on, send in, and hopefully get approved soon after that. But I know that can be discouraging soon. Good luck everyone.

6/1/06 Met in Rwanda

11/21/06 My parents came to visit and we're officially engaged

11/30/06 Returned to USA

1/26/07 I129f Sent

I find it interesting that only 60% of Nov filers have an interview date -- is that true or do you suppose that as the process grinds on, people neglect to update their timelines?

I've also noticed that. It would not surprise me if many people drift away from this site as they get busy with the final stages of this process. My guess is they never come back to complete the timelines. On the other hand, many November filers are still waiting for their interview. It's just that we can't be sure about the accuracy of the numbers...

A lawyer has nothing to do with the quickness or accurateness, they just put the paperwork together for you which really is an easy process. There have been MANY cases here on VJ where people paid lawyers hundreds of dollars and still got an RFE. It is up to the person at the service center whether or not to approve a case.

Well I'm sure some of it is luck of the draw, but they are almost well into january filers. Have you asked your lawyer if he received an RFE??? If he filed it on your behalf I would think the RFE would go to him and not you. I could be wrong but I would call him.
