 Thank you, everyone, I feel like we are a big family that's why  I want to share this good news with you too. Thank you for everyone who asks informative questions, who keep telling approvals are coming keep calm, who is answering every question even though it has been answered dozen time, who is scanning and giving information about current status. Thank you, everybody. I wish all of the members this approval feeling very soon (like today-tomorrow soon). I am attaching our timeline FYI

NOA1: October 12 (Old System) [October 16 new system]

NOA2: April 11(181 days)

First we received an email from the old system and after all the tracking apps gave the notification. The new system still shows received.

 

So happy for you!! One step closer to being together with your other half. Congrats!!

Hey guys, I received a RFE today unfortunately! Do you guys know how much time is taking to RFE be approved?

THis is somewhat good news, it means you will probably be approved as long as you answer the RFE with what they need! Get it back as soon as possible you will probably be approved within a week or two. Most of the wait time will be how long it takes you to mail in what they asked, get to it! You're almost there!

Thanks @Carito3 .  My silly self became panicked and thought OMG... they won't approve me now because i am becoming obnoxious.  I pictured my file going to the bottom of the pile  NO APPROVAL FOR YOU!  this whole process is making me paranoid, silly, naive, and overly sensitive.

Found this post which is kinda old and apologies if it's been on this thread before. It takes you through the steps from the adjudicator's perspective. It really depends and whose desk you end up in.
