Why you feeling down and frustrated. The general rules are outlined before you started the process and when it arrives ahead of schedule, thier's not yours, you should be jumping for joy. It's rare that they go beyond their self imposed timelines. All those that are on VJ can either sweat all the little stuff or sit back and let the process takes it's course.

I am doing ROC right now and I don't expect to hear from them until I am somewhere into their process six months. I don't check the website, I don't call, I don't fret and I am stress free.

Not been on here much for the past week because my fiance was here and I was enjoying my time with him. He has just gone home today. His mom let us know what the RFE was. We were asked for proof that the website we met on was not a International Marriage Broker. Not an issue, we collected all evidence and he'll be sending it all off with our cover letter as soon as he can.

Thanks we did. It was his first time visiting another country. He's been around the US but never outside of North America and my family love him so it was a good trip :) I'm relieved it was an easy RFE too. We got all the info needed together while he was here and wrote a cover letter and then he just needs to print it off, sign and date and then he will post it. I've told him I will bug him every day until it's sent and I want a tracking number! I miss him so much already and I just want to go home to him now this trip is done.

Curious, this article seems to say Federal Buildings are closed on Friday and Monday for easter...

Anyone able to confirm? Would go someway to explaining the lack of NVC and USCIS? from the 25th and 28th? Or am I missing something?
