Yes it really feels like they aren't I mean just at the part where you see Potomac and texas moving so rapidly! But I want to believe Feb is a short month so maybe less applications!!???

California also gets a ton of the "All other relatives" applications if I'm not mistaken. Something like 70k in that quarter?  I'm on mobile so hard to look.

Hello guys so like i posted a couple of days ago.. after 237 days got RFE via email and text well today i received the letter on the mail! I was nervous of what they might ask for but im so glad all they need is a Passport style photo myself (petitioner) so i have a couple of questions hopefully someone can help. First of all im glad all i need to send is a photo but why would they need a passport style photo of the petitioner? i mean i sent passport phots of my wife but not one of me. Second, on the letters first page it says "THE ORIGINAL NOTICE MUST SUBMITTED WITH THE REQUESTED EVIDENCE" on the second page it says to enclose photos in an envelope and staple that envelope to this notice. On the third page it says "PLEASE RETURN THE REQUESTED INFO AND ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS WITH THIS PAGE ON TOP" And to check a box if there is a new form G-28. So im guessing i have to return all 3 pages with the photo? and just keep copies??

The online address is for the petitioner, not beneficiary if I'm not mistaken. I called yesterday about my wife's job changing and they said I would have to write a letter and send it to the service center with the proper information so they could update it/append it to my file.
