That must be frustrating, but on the other hand at least you know somebody was actually working on your petition. Meanwhile I sit here with no updates or RFE or anything. I'm not sure which situation is worse!

It's bad enough to wait that long just to get an RFE. I have the feeling the same thing is in store for me, tomorrow is day number 50 since NOA1, still no sign of it being worked on. Hopefully it is simple and you are back on track soon. At least you know it's not lost!

After getting NOA 2, how long does it take to get into and thru the NVA?

When I call them, they keep on saying one month to receive and another month to process....

Anyone have more accurate info than what they claim on the phone?

Thanks

Hello guys, same thing happened, got an RFE today. But hey, look at the bright side indeed, someone is working on your petition!!! We all will get soon those letters, send back what they need immediately and if you see the stats between an RFE date and 2nd NOA, it's not bad! There are many people who already got their 2nd NOA, but more who haven't heard anything since weeks or months...Now you know SOMETHING:-) I am happy! Not as happy, but it's still something!

Hang in there everyone :dancing:

P.S. When we sent our petition to the USCIS, we haven't heard about visajourney, so we didn't know we need to include a letter of intent to marry. I was quite sure that they will need this from us (however my fiancé wasn't), so I sent an original one with some other evidences with Fedex a few days ago to him, just in case. According to the tracking he should have gotten it just on Friday, but he got my letter today...EXACTLY on the same day, when we got the RFE:-))) So if I assume it right, he has everything already in his hands to send it to USCIS...It has to be a sign:-)))

The NVC process took 3 weeks for us. 2 weeks to get a case number, then after 1 day it was sent to the embassy, and the embassy received it 6 days later. However, I think we got pretty lucky because I have never heard of a case being processed in 1 day at NVC.
