Some times their website is slow to update, if I were you I would call and speak to a representative that way they can tell you when it was approved.  Once you have that information I would recommend calling NVC once a week to see when they receive your case.   

yeah I was told website don't update all the times. I called the USCIS few times none of them will give me any informations. When I finally get to talk to someone they said the last update is April 14 the RFE was received.

Just for your information. My package left USCIS; on January 25, 2017, then arrived on Feburary 07, 2017. It took 14 days from USCIS; to NVC. Check your e-mail in 14 days from the day USCIS sent your packet to NVC. Hope this helps. After you get e-mail give them a call. 

I never in my life get an email from them. my lawyer normal get all the information's.

 

only once my husband  got a mail was the AOS1 and usually it take a month and few days to get a mail. yep and no he is in Texas.

 

so I thinking we getting a mail so USCIS will track to see when we received it then change the status. that my guess

we never received any emails from them maybe only the lawyer not sure.

[Sol1427 23]

I also called yesterday hoping that they will tell me 8 weeks but nope  she told me 11 weeks

[nyokie 572]

am going to call my lawyer now to ask her to send a copy of the letter. watch she take a whole day or forget to send it and say oh she was busy whatever.

 

 

[Sol1427 23]

I would not rely on emails, every time I found out any news it was because I called them and then I would get an email a week later telling me what I already knew.

they will tell you anything over the phone 11 weeks just so you will not call til 10 weeks but don't mind them call back in the mid of 8 weeks

[Sol1427 23]

That is exactly why I am doing this my self, I have to be in control and would not be able to handle waiting to hear back from a busy lawyer.

[Sol1427 23]

I never listen to what they say, I am going to wait until my month comes up on the 5th and then I will call again.
