No I got the notification from USCIS  app where my status changed from Received to Approved. 

My husband should be receiving the hard copy in his mail this week 

 

You should be hearing good news very soon  

We hope so.. I checked and it's frustrating that some cases before and after our case numbers were approved and we aren't 😬😢

My husband called USCIS and asked for a call back from a Tier 2 this morning. He was told that they need to request for info or RFE so we need to wait for the letter from the mail.

The Tier 2 agent said they will mail the RFE soon. We're clueless what document is missing coz we tried our best to submit everything in the list so I guess we'll have to wait.  BTW we didn't file our papers with RapidVisa or any immigration lawyers but we're confident with the papers they need.  Though we didn't send any wedding photos.  We're anxious and excited still.

You wouldnt know what document is missing until your husband receives the RFE in the mail.

Same thing happened to us,we were very anxious because we felt we sent every required document but alas,we had an RFE on proof of legal termination of my husband's previous marriage stating that the one we submitted was not carrying the judge's signature.

We received it in the mail after 1week&responded immediately. Now awaiting our approval.

I see. I hope we receive our letter soon so we could submit whatever document they are requesting.

I'm glad to know that we're sharing not only our approvals or good news but also our frustrations. Lol

Please update us with your case status as we will do post our status here for other couples' reference. I am yet to update our timeline once we receive the RFE letter.

How is everyone getting to talk to Tier-2? My husband calls USCIS everytime on 18003755283 , and wen asks for Tier 2 - they say there's nothing as tier 2, we are the only ones who can answer your query. And they ask him to wait cause they're still processing Feb cases (acc to website, which I think is faulty).

 

Is there any other number that he shud call to for Texas?

I know how you feel, I try and travel every 6 months to my husband in Egypt as well, and during the holidays, when you want to be with family, and you can't be with your husband it makes things that much harder. I don't know about you but seeing all these other centers processing and giving approvals in May makes it just that much worse to be sitting at Nebraska, I know they are moving up they are in Feb now, but just so slow moving.

I am totally on the same page. I have days I just sit and cry and cry thinking to myself why all the other centers are on May and I get stuck with the one that is months behind everyone else. I don't understand why they are so much more slow than the others. My husband tries to be encouraging and tells me that Nebraska will catch up soon it just seems so far out ..Trying to stay busy with work and getting the house together to welcome him. Some days are definitely harder than others.

I'm not sure how my husband called for a Tier 2, or maybe a supervisor. The first person he talked to was not helpful, he was just told our case is pending and within the processing period.  He decided to call back after few minutes and asked for a Tier 2 as I told him to do so, though the second person sounds helpful, he was not transferred to that person, instead he was told to wait so they can verify about our case status and promised that someone calls him back after 2 hours, which they did telling him that he will receive an RFE letter in the mail.

 

I know this waiting game is very frustrating, but i wish you all the best.  Keep the faith.

To be honest I was told wedding photos aren’t really proof for a CR1. We didn’t send any and still got approved. But I read reviews on here regarding so many denials before we started the process. This is exactly why we chose to use Rapidvisa. Regardless, I hope everything works out for you. Positive vibes!!!!

Someone told me too that just submit the papers in the checklist and skip sending photos as they are not really needed so we did not send any. I guess we'll just see what the RFE letter says when it arrives in the mail. We're just glad that they already reviewed our papers (finally!) and we'll submit what additional documents they need from us. 😊
