Oh my goodness! That's a long time! I hope I don't have to wait that long!! Probs will though! I had to wait 7 months for them to give us an RFE!!

I know !! I'm not sure why it's taking so long. My RFE was for not checking the box that said I haven't committed a crime.

I do not want to call or inquire online until after the RFE deadline of Aug 14 passes. As it turned out I needed the max time to find all the documents they needed.   I don't want to waste my chance for help from Congressperson unless I really, really need it. My plan is to wait until September before I make noise. We are so powerless in this process.

I don't understand why people thing they are "wasting their chance for help from congressperson", you can request for help anytime whenever. We did it twice and they were really nice and helpful. Both times we got answer before it even made a difference and they were nice about it saying it happens like that a lot. We were past deadlines, made a request and got answers 2-3 days after, before our case was even assigned to the congress. All that being said, they are the only help we can get, and asking them now is not wasting your chance, because they will help again another time if you need it. All you are doing is delaying the process when they could actually help you out now and maybe make it faster

Yep, the long, boring trek across the full state of Pennsylvania on I-80

 

I hope there are a lot of rest areas along that high way.  I'll need frequent stops after flying a 6 hour red eye

Its a nice drive. Here is a list of all the rest areas along the way in PA

Thankfully, today USCIS updated My Case with an entry that they are going to continue working on my 129f again so I am expecting NOA2 next week as their own deadline of Aug 14 is Monday.  

I believe I should not resort to Congress/Rep unless I absolutely need them to intervene about something I cannot figure out myself. We have a long road ahead once our case leaves the Service Center. Plus  USCIS has been 'touching' my case and my RFE Reply was piecemeal.  I  wanted at least 60 days from the  last touch to pass by  so the burden is on USCIS not me (based on the My Case instructions).

Thanks for the reassurance about not hesitating to call though.

We send our prayers for you and all of those couple who still waiting for Noa2. May you all get Noa2 letters this month and everything goes smoothly after that.

I've seen your timeline. You respond too long. what happened? May I know what's your RFE? 

[PRC Rabbit 40]

RFE for Divorce Judgment (easy) and Imbra Convictions (I answered Yes and then  "On a separate piece of paper...").  Damn confusing instructions!  I had several misdemeanor convictions for drugs sent all my COC's in except for two (2) I was unaware of.  They were not reported on my State's  Crim Record Report that I relied on for Imbra compliance (1 was Sealed via NY's marijuana decriminalization law & 1 Unclassified VTL misdemeanor 35 & 20 years ago).  It was only by a chance encounter with the Court Clerk that I figured out what was missing.

Visa is in our hands 11 days after approval. POE is tomorrow (going to be an exciting day). We have almost made it.

 

I'm still here rooting for those of you still in the race!

Well today our staus on CEAC tracker went to READY, not sure what this means, but it sounds very good! We had to supply my W-2, and they had it for 3 weeks and no word anywhere until the staus changed today! We are very happy and hope this means they are mailing the Visa? Thank you all!

[ilovehowyouloveme 47]

I made it to the states last Saturday (can't believe it's been almost a week!) and it has been absolute bliss. We get married on the 19th, so only 8 more days to go! I'm excited for everyone in this thread to get to this stage Good luck <3
