Yeah that’s the reason why cause whenever they get snowstorm it cause them to close so more delay on case number so hopefully no more snowstorm for now

My case was sent to NVC from Potomac Service Center on 03/12/2018 and when I called today they said they haven’t received anything yet... does it really take them this long to receive a case? I mean it was sent 10 days ago....:(

Wow! That's weird. Mine was sent on a thursday and i called the following tuesday and they received it already.

It could also be a case of your file being there already but whoever you spoke to couldn't locate it. I am really not surprised by anything anymore!

why you didn't use your family address in the US? they don't send mails out of the country.

 

you need to change your address cause if they sent you something and they didn't update your status you will end up starting the process over by not responding to RFE if they did sent one and never update the status, so its best to change the address and call uscis at all time to following up on your case.

USCIS just updated their official I-130 processing time for NSC to 9.5 - 11 month!

Where in other centers the average time is no more than 7 month for that I-130!

It also shows that they are currently working on cases from April.

So I don't know how to relate to that, but I hope that they are working on August cases as well.

Oh, this is so serious, if they didn´t update that it will cause even lost the case RIGHT!

Or in case that not having the US address , you have to wait 1 entire month to request it online, and between answering it and arriving to them you can loose 2 months just in having and answering them (the whole RFE time processing from receiving them the answer to get the NOA2).

So the delay will be big...

@Nmaem you or you spouse doesn´t have a friend or a relative in US that can receive the USICS letters ?

You can change the address in USCIS at any time, doing it in the middle of a RFE is a little risky but you need to know what they are asking for, without delaying too much the process!

Guys, just checked USCIS My Case and the status changed to ::dancing:

Response To USCIS' Request For Evidence Was Received

So, let´s wait from today to 60 days, but 27 days are the currently average!

NOA2 should arrive at any time! So, again I´m going to be checking Monday Wednesday Friday and Sunday at night.

By the way, the USCIS app didn´t notify me!

I´m proceeding to uninstall it right now!

I feel happy! And my wife too.

I´m going to update my signature timeline now too!
