Some people get approved within a few days as observed from my list, others take 2 or 3 weeks and there was someone who took 2 months to get approved. It's just way too different with every case but I'd say 2 to 3 weeks after rfe response received is the most common timeline.

Thanks hopefully It will be this week, they asked for proof of meeting in person which I sent originally. Pictures, plane tickets, passport, hotel receipts and various other things. What I would love to know is what happened to the stuff I sent originally.

They asked us for this too and circumstance of meeting. Both things we had already provided in our petition originally...There are way too many people who got asked for things they already provided for this to be a coincidence tbh.

Can anyone that had an RFE  give me an idea of how long it took from RFE response received to Noa 2 approval

It took them 17 days to do my RFE. they also asked the same stuff from me that I submitted. I feel like it was a delay tactic

Yep, they received my response 1 day before yours on the 15th.

It is really pathetic, they should go right back to our cases once they receive our reply, this whole ordeal is almost 7 months already my first Noa was May 15, by the time we are done with NVC, Medical and interview we're talking like 9 months from start to finish, unacceptable really!

That would be truly great but sadly in USCIS nothing makes sense anymore. I'm just extremely disappointed in this process. When our lawyer told us 5 to 8 months I really didn't expect it to be the 8 months...I don't want to be overly pessimistic but at this point I'm certain there won't be an approval for my case this week. Hopefully yours is different though!

My attorney told me 4-6 months, what a joke. If I would of known this I would of did it myself, I thought using an attorney would speed it up, that was a $2000.00 lesson learned

Pretty much lol. Sometimes I even wonder if the attorney was what got us an RFE  

If I'd known it'd be taking this long I would have opted for spousal visa..At least you know the wait will be worth your money...

Just a reminder as we were talking with @JSCGPV

 

Everybody at the NVC waiting stage

 

please don't forget that your noa2 has an expiration date.

 

so if your NVC takes too long, and it goes to your embassy,please call them to extend this time if needed.

 

please do not forget there is a 4 month expiration time, and they may not extend it automatically unless you ask.

Very true, I am wondering the same thing, I asked the attorney and He said He sent everything , but I doubt if He would tell me " Oh yea, I forget to send that stuff" They are all schisters!

I know right! I thought I was being overly paranoid but I suppose not  I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case though.
