I don't know but I've checked cases with same NAO1 date as mine 9/18 and they are being approved. I'm certainly sure that they are also working on Sept right now for Nebraska. I'm using the USCIS case tracker app with 500 counts before and after my date 9/18.

I got the RFE stating

SUBMIT NEW PASSPORT STYLE PHOTO

" The photo of X submitted with your petition is not acceptable because the photo must conform with the specifications as listed below. You must submit (1) one acceptable photo of X"

My question is this X is my husband and does that mean we only have to send his passport size photo and not mine. And how to arrange the RFE, like do we have to write the cover letter? If so then what to write in there and where to put it. What Ink should we use for the felt pen to write on the back of the photo(forgot). Kindly help us with the process,though its easy but don't want anymore mistakes.
