I saw it on my status that 8 July they sent the RFE but The mail is not coming yet

When did you receive your RFE??

I checked on the website and the status said on 8th July they sent RFE but the mail is not coming yet. I wonder how long it will be to receive the mail and how long will i get approval after they receive my RFE response

It takes roughly a week for you to get the RFE in the mail. As soon as you send want they want back to their office they'll start working on your case agai and you'll see it on your status update. From there on, you'll never know. It could be weeks, or months. You're at TSC so... :(

So John and I got the NOA 2 on June 26 and we still haven't heard anything from the NVC. I just called them and they said it takes 35 days to process. :wow:

Does it really take that long? Can anyone tell me their experiences with that?

Or should I be in a different forum topic for this, if yes, which one?

btw. those people on the phone at NVC are really unfriendly!

I bet if you call back in another day or two it will be different. And It's a luck to get mean or nice person on the phone.

I waited 2 weeks after I received my N02, and then I called everyday until I got my case number.

I just called USCIS again to see if I can get an update. I was able to open a case last week and was able to check online today and saw that my case was assigned to an agent on the 14th, yesterday. I was told that TSC is given 30 days to respond to the inquiry, but TSC tries to respond within 15 days. If I don't hear back from them in 30 days, I was told to call. I also checked online to see if any updates have been made to the processing times website, but none. :(

at least your case has been assigned...that seems like progress...i've had 2 open cases at this point and neither have been assigned (tomorrow is 2 weeks on the 2nd one)

edit: also i'm wondering when they'll update the processing times...hopefully soon...though it'll prob be something like Nov 1st...

Go to the USCIS website and create a profile if you don't have one yet. Once you create a profile, you will see your case. Click on the case, and you will see towards the bottom of the case (Case History) the inquiries you've opened and whether is has been assigned to an officer for a response. I was told that the officer to whom the inquiry was assigned to is the same person working the case.

My first inquiry was like that but I never had a response from them.

Did you follow up after 30 days? If yes, what did they say? Just want to know what to expect if that happens to me.
