And in less than 30 days, on April 24, 2015 our case was approved (online status) and May 1st my fiance received the NOA2 via post. Everything at CSC.

I have a receipt date of May 30th received RFE (paper in mail)May 19 over nited the response case updated to review March 20. If your case said updated April 14th then they are working on your case. Trust me, you will not get any info over the phone until the 5 month waiting period is up. I am actually glad I got the RFE because I can see more updates, plus now I only have to wait for July 19 for a response instead of August and its not complicated on the RFE. CSC is moving much faster. Its painful to wait and not know but from what some of the TSC members are going through. Personally I just sit back try not to complain and consider myself lucky. Your answers will come soon. we all want to be with our significant others. it certainly is not a cake walk and can make or break a relationship. you've done all you can do. there is nothing and I do mean nothing you can do but wait. good luck!

Does anybody know of anyone who has actually went to a service center to find out their status? Do we as U.S. citizens have the right to "get in some ones face about it"? Just thinking... (the New Yorker coming out in me again) .
