A week ago I called USCIS to update my address due to move. Two day later, I was checking my case status and it said they RFE'ed me.

I think this has something to do with the address change, otherwise it would have been too much of a coincidence.

Anybody else get RFE after address change?

Arrrrggg what a bummer... RFE'd :(

I don't believe it has anything to do with your address change tho.... doesn't make much sense to me. It looks more like an unfortunate coincidence.

Its dumb they don't send the RFE details by email... I mean, what for? Privacy? I feel more secure in my email inbox than an old fashioned envelope traveling all over the world via snail-mail. Anyone can get their hands on that.

PLUS If they used email you would be preparing the required evidence and sending them of by now... but... it's USCIS we're talking about...

NVC process, which seems a lot more complicated. Start reading now if you haven't already just to be prepared. We can do electronic processing being from Australia so we're going to go that route.

Don't lose faith guys! It's a matter of time. Soon we will all be processed! One by one!

My only concern is that the NOA2 hard copy WILL NOT ARRIVE here in Venezuela because of disastrous Venezuelan postal service... I haven't even got NOA1 Hard Copy still.

Will I need that hard copy? Should I try to change my address or should I just wait and call NVC?

Yay!!! I don't think you'll need the hard copy NOA2 but you will need a hard copy NVC packet I'd assume... Might be worth asking in a new post.
