It seems that the USCIS website isnt updating case status for a few people lately. You can call the USCIS and and follow the prompts to check on an RFE. When you get to an operator you can ask about your status. We found out today that we were approved last week, but the USCIS website still says we are pending.

Thats what we are hoping for... I HATE calling people, so I've been trying to work up the confidence to call and "change my address". Hehe! Congrats on the approval!

Yes. My RFE was for "photographs together." Well, I have no photographs of us together because I hate having my picture taken. Therefore, I had my sister write a declaration that she was with me when I met my SO. I also submitted a complete copy of her passport to show that we were in Brazil at the same time. I also resubmitted hotel receipts, boarding passes, itineraries, etc.

Cool, thanks! Good luck with the rest of the process!

I did not need to use photoshop because I was approved without submitting any photographs.

I sent an email to USCIS to complain about the online notification system as well as the 2 people I spoke to regarding my RFE. Let's see if I get an answer...

So, 2 weeks ago I sent an email to my senator's office asking for help with my case. Today I got an email from one of his assistants telling me "I learned that your petition was approved two weeks ago and that the “validity dates” are from May 1, 2007 to August 31, 2007. The records show that you’re approval notice hasn’t gone out so I emailed California USCIS and asked them to do that pronto."

So infuriating, that I've been worrying and freaking out, and it was approved the whole time! But it's still such good news. Now I have to figure out if it's made it to NVC... I'm on hold as I type

Best wishes to everyone still waiting. Len and How, and others touched weeks ago who haven't heard, it's probably worth it to get on the phone and see if yours was in the same pile that went MIA!

The online notification system really sucks!! I'm just trying to have Howard call the USCIS number now but he can't get to a live person...

On the brighter side, I went to my GP yesterday to pick up my medical records and also had my chest X-rayed. I need to bring this stuff to my medical exam. So I'm almost ready for our embassy stage. I just need a notarized I-134 (I already have the supporting docs) and a copy of NOA2. Come on, CSC!!!
