Reasons for RFE

[coffeeAdict 6]

I sent my I-130 and it got approved, no RFE

now we are in the final stages, (sent the AOS and IV package)

can we still get RFE ?

thanks!

has this happened to anyone? getting RFE on the final stages?

I don't believe RFE is requested after I-130 is approved.

That first step usually verifies that you can indeed apply for a visa.

In the next step, you will deal with the visa application itself; that is, the DS-260 and the affidavit of support, plus the financial and supporting documents, which you will send to the NVC.

Some people get checklists on this stage, but they are usually related to missing or wrong submitted information.

After the application is approved by NVC, the Embassy may request extra information for the interview.

Hi,

The stage you are at right now would be NVC stage. They issue checklists, not RFEs, which would arise if there are any errors with your IV and AoS documents.

NVC takes 30-45 days to review both sets of paperwork so you have a wait. At the end of their review, they would mail out a letter or email you on any error(s) which you must fix and return to them...thus starting a new 30-45 days waiting time; sad enough.
