I have received a response from one person so far on how long it took to receive a response from the USCIS after sending their paperwork for the RFE. Can anyone else tell me your experience with sending your info after sending the RFE-- and how long it took for approval/to receive your NOA2? Also did everyone that received an RFE also get a response back from the USCIS when they received your corrected/updated paperwork for the RFE? I am just wondering if I should expect to hear from them once they receive my paperwork.

Send it with return receipt. 2-3 weeks normal turn around. YMMV. So you will know that they have touched your record by the receipt and you give a few weeks before calling otherwise you'll get call back.in 30 days speech.

We received APPROVAL NOA2 yesterday morning.  Everyone is really excited to be passed this stage and what a relief.  Received text message and email around 11:15 Am.  Checked the Case Tracker app and it said Approved.  Old site also says approved and New Site still says received.  

 

I just want to say that this process is difficult and challenging for everyone in our shoes.  However these forums have helped alot to understand why you are waiting and how everyone else is literally in the same boat as you are.  Listen to what @BJ & Christine has said many times, "Stay Busy",  this very simple concept will help the time move faster.  Also use the tools that @Greenbaum  has mentioned tirelessly throughout these forums.  This guy knows what he is talking about and using his techniques i was able to almost pinpoint when we would get approval.  My personal estimation was off by 2 days.  Stay strong, Stay Confident and Stay Busy.  Good Luck to Everyone still waiting and everyone who has advanced to the next stage.  We all started this journey for a reason let that be your strength as go through the challenges and obstacles of this process.  

 

 

NOA1 (Old):  MAR 26th

NOA1 (New):  MAR 29th

NOA2:  Sep 28th

 

186 Days for Approval from Old Date

183 Days for Approval from New Date

Well. Should know what the RFE is by end of day based on USPS informed delivery. Of course it arrived the day after I left to visit my fiancé. But I arranged to have a friend check the mail and send me pictures of it in the case it arrived while I was gone. I’m nervous! 

 

On the flip side, having a great time with my fiancé so enjoying that. Hitting the beach today!

We got our rfe in mail on September 5, then send it back 21st, they got it on 24th and approved 28th. Means approved in 4 days. We didnt get any response from them but they changed the status on the old website to received and then to approved.

Got the RFE. They want proof the dating app we met through is not an IMB. 

 

So I’ve already printed the sites terms of services. The app did not charge a fee and is not specific to internationals. Should I highlight something from the terms of services or just send it as is? Do I need to get anything from the apps maker (if even possible) to state they are not an IMB? 

 

The RFE defined a IMB as attached. I didn’t pay anything and it’s based on who’s around you (very Tinder like). So I assume it’s definitley not a IMB right?

Have to read TOS of app/site. If it states in there they do not charge a fee then you should be ok.

or u can contact them and have them prove they r not a imb. 

 

Always better to to be safe then sorry later. If I were u I’d contact them and provide proof there are not a imb.

 

good luck
