Sorry, hopefully we will all hear something sooner then later. USCIS is officially on Jan. 6th so still a few days before you would be outside of normal processing times.

On 7 July I contacted USCIS because I had sent them a letter regarding a typo in my petition and I wanted to correct it.  Anyway? I called because I had not received acknowledgement they received my letter, so I put in an inquiry.  I got a letter in the mail today saying my petition is within normal processing times and I will be adjudicated within 45 days....

 

um, that’s not why I called you 🤷‍♂️

Sometimes it's difficult to correct things that have been submitted to USCIS. If at all possible correct errors at the interview or when you receive an RFE. Errors like miss spelling or leaving something off of a form is easier to fix at the interview and doing so will not expose you to a denial.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").
