Hey! What time do you think they sent it? Like was it in the afternoon or evening?

Definitely evening. It was probably around 6pm there when I checked before going to sleep and it showed 'At NVC'. Then when I checked early in the morning (don't even remember when, because sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and check things too ) it showed 'In Transit'. So it might have happened at the very end of the day there.

Question for those of you who maybe fly more often. If flying through Incheon Airport South Korea is that the POE or would Detroit end up being the POE. I know some countries have US Customs & Immigration checkpoints before you fly into the country so I wasn't sure at what point she will hit her POE fun.

The POE is the point where they land within the US. In that case, Detroit is the POE. I just flew through Incheon on my last trip to the Philippines. That is a very nice airport.

I called Friday  and talk to tier 2 and they said working on February fiance visas no help wouldn't budge with any info said the processing time is normal when it gets into May then I should call back.

 

Me learning patients! Thank you God I know your plan is better than mine.

It's been hard to keep up lately but there have been so many well-deserved approvals!! 

 

A huge congratulations to everyone who's had exciting progress these last few days, I know I've missed congratulating some of you 

 

I'm sincerely hoping that this week USCIS can try to clear out the last of the April cases so that nobody is left waiting <3

Yeah going through Incheon is 19hrs vs 30 for the other routes. Only other good ways out go either to Abu Dhabi or Doha and then to Philly/Chicago, then Detroit. The trick is I believe Abu Dhabi may be an overseas POE since they are on the list along with Canada and Shannon for Customs outside US. Incheon is the advantage of the whole Sky Team Alliance thing and Korean Airways being a part of it. Guess all that corporate travel over the years is good for something.

Plus side, while no update on tracker USPS tracking on the package shows it was picked up from the PO Box at 11am today. So they at least have the document they asked for in the RFE now.

Weird i wonder why some are 7 days and some longer. Why does the noa2 notice say they have sent it to nvc when its not true?

So last night, I get this email.  It says my file has been reviewed.  My question is the noticeable missing from this list is the I.134, and Continuing Relationship Evidence.   Is this list standard? Or is my heavily front loaded I.129f paying off?

Any Ph filers see any difference in this email compared to yours?  I also noticed the font is different in the list part than the rest of the e-mail font, like a blank was typed on with what they needed.......

Oh man  166 days here and still a' waiting ya'll ... and just got back from my visit with my love and we are both out of our minds today. I honestly didn't see this taking this long and I just thought we would be done with this thing by now ... that's what I get for thinking  I called them today and got a tier 2 on the phone ... the lady I spoke with was nice but couldn't tell me anything other than what I already knew, but she did say that she hopes they approve us soon and wished me luck on the marriage, so that was nice to hear a little empathy and compassion from one of the workers there. I have really been struggling with this RFE and certainly it was an easy fix but I start to just get sick over it when I see people waiting another two months to get more news. I am hopeful this isn't going to be us. Anyways guys just wanted to check in and also say congrats to those who have been approved! We're hanging in here ... it's been rough but we still hanging. I have a good life here in the States and a great job, but I am willing to walk away from it all to be with my woman ya'll. I remember thinking on those long nights on Paris Island, SC during USMC boot camp ... man nothing can be this hard ... I stand corrected! I have had many thoughts of going to Russia to be with her for the remainder of the process, but then what about income and the interview and plane tickets and the house I just got for us ... I have thought many times about just moving us to a country with open doors .. but then all the same concerns. Oh all these thoughts ... Alright Petitioners ... who else has been thinking along these lines ... and how are you guys handling things when the hope starts to fade and the mind starts to play its tricks ... I mean I'm going crazy

You need to call USCIS for sure.

No reason what so ever for the delay
