After the NOA1 has been returned by mail with receipt of filing date, what happens next? I know it is taking approx 3 months currently depending on the trends to receive NOA2, but does anything happen in between? Example? RFE on NOA1 ? when does that come in if it will?

How do the RFE's and timelines work. Basically when will you have a good idea if you submitted a strong application packet :) Thanks

There is a whole lot of NOTHING and tons of WAITING. I am more stressed out by the waiting than thinking of the interview. We are four months and two weeks since our NOA1 (though I am filing for CR-1 and not K-1) and it is tooooorture, especially when I see other cases near mine being approved!
