You won't get RFE until later when you get NOA2. It's too early in the process.

Just came back from a successful early walk-in in Los Angeles (South La Brea location) after being denied on Wilshire Blv. a couple of days ago. Super friendly staff and out in 20 minutes.

If someone else wants to try an early walk-in in LA, I would recommend this location. I heard Tues-Thurs is better than Mo/Fri. I went at 1pm and it was very empty. Guard told me they

get very busy at times and have to turn away walk-ins. Glad I got in. :dancing:

Is early walk-in works in other states too? I think I will be going to Norfolk, VA, Thanks
