Not necessarily the case with everyone getting and RFE. I understand it might be that people might pass by one of the requirements, and at times it needs more explanations in special cases. So saying that you get and RFE because you dont read is a bit radical. :-D 

Trust me, I've seen some absurd cases in here of people forgetting to submit some crucial stuff.My fiancee literally sent 70 photos of us, she wrote the date, occasion and names of the people included in photo  We took it too far to prove them we are for real, so I guess they did not had the guts to give us an RFE

After a stressful wait...I couldn't even believe it.  I still don't, in fact! Not until I see the hard copy in the mail! Has the website ever jumped the gun with an approval?! 

 

My fiancé and I are sitting here in shock! And so thrilled! Good luck and positive energy to all of you!

Lol- I don't think someone will mistakenly click approval after making us wait months and months!

Congratulations to you and your fiance!!!!
Now on to NVC!

that's my point, had the ones that got an rfe and didn't use a lawyer did then maybe a lawyer would have looked carefully over it before submitting and spotted something wrong and then the client would have corrected it. 

Just pay attention and do it ''by the book''.Not hard.I understand why people would hire lawyers, this is a life changing occasion and they want everything to be done in best way possible, but still, you can save some money by actually paying attention to what is needed and your chances of getting a smooth outcome will increase highly.

And so we got one with more than 100 pics, airplane tickets, evidence of hotels, long term stays etc making sure it proves is a valid relationship of "7 years" ... So ... The point is.. You never know with USCIS. Right now there are pretty basic RFE. There is everything. From forgetting to sign to ive me more information about your life or special occasions. We all just hope to get through the process as seamless as possible.

I am happy you guys got it "by the book". Success for you in the rest of the process. Just remember not everyone is careless and "not by the book"

Hello everybody!

I just wanted to say hi and thank everyone for posting on this forum. I only found out about this forum 5 days ago and I have been obsessed with it ever since. Knowing that there are lots of people waiting anxiously for an approval gives me so much comfort!! And see the happy people who just got their noa2 approval gives me hope and happiness, even though I am super jealous of them haha! 
I am from the Netherlands and my fiancé is in the navy. He is deployed right now and won't be back until May. This makes it a little easier for us to wait for the visa to get approved because we can't be together anyways. I can't wait until I can finally be with him again though. By the time I see him again it will be a year without seeing each other because of his deployment. So I just wanted to thank all of you for sending positive vibes through your messages on this forum. It makes me laugh!  Special thanks to @Naes , you are so helpful to everybody! ( I am sure there is a lot of good karma coming your way someday!)

Good luck to everybody who is waiting for that stupid piece of paper that will allow them to be with the love of their lives! 
Big hug from this super obsessed Dutchy!  

*I will go back to my duty now and read the new replies that came in since I was typing this message haha.. , and yes I am excited about that hahah!

Yeah, you quoted me before I edited my post, with more proper answer  As, I said, most of them are just random.They probably need to have some quotas about it, so someone doesn't come up and say ''USCIS is giving out approvals like candies''

Oh, no, that wasn't my point, its just the fact that some people actually go with this like it is a game.Its one of the reasons, not a whole picture, but some people do actually do it, and thats why RFEs happen in those cases.Not all, of course.

Hello, 

 

Thank you very for your response. You described exactly what happened in Congo. So I did both the introduction and the traditional marriage. What do you think I should do ?? 

 

There was a similar situation discussed recently in the July 2017 K1 thread.   It seems that the problem is that you have given reason for USCIS to suspect that you are already married, and the K1 requires that both the petitioner and beneficiary be unmarried.   The USCIS will likey consider you to be married if the social customs of your beneficiaries country consider you to be married.

 

In the case discussed in the July thread, the petitioner contacted the USCIS and was advised to convert the K1 to a K3.  I do not have the specifics, but thought I would alert you to the other thread in the chance that it may help you.   Look for the posting from "Karimbafi" and the follow-up discussions on the pages following;

I wish you the best of luck!
