There's still a small mountain of us still waiting for our NOA2

After 206 days, WE ARE APPROVED!!!! Today I finally decided to accept God’s timing and leave it all to Him. I hadn’t check the new website in a few days because I was tired of just seeing “we received your case”. This morning I decided to check the new website again. While it was loading, I decided to say a little prayer and there it was: “we approved your case”. I couldn’t believe it!!! Our case still appears as received in both the app and the old website. 

 

I called my fiancé to tell him the good news and we both cried ❤️. I know waiting and being far away from your significant other is the worst feeling ever but please don’t lose hope. I know it’s hard to believe when other people tell you “your approval is coming” but it is. At one point I decided to take one day at a time and stop looking at how many days I’d been waiting. I kept telling myself “Today is the day” even if it wasn’t. Today was actually the day and I couldn’t be happier. I’ll keep everybody in my prayers. I’m sure today will be the day for a lot of you :). And if you ever feel like giving up, remember that this is just temporary, real love is not. If you ever feel overwhelmed, remember that a lifetime of happiness and love is greater than a few months of waiting. Hold on to the good memories you have with your significant other and hold on to the love 💖.

Out of curiosity, when doing a scan through the App I have come across statuses that state "Rejected due to Form no longer accepted" does anyone know the instances of where that could apply to? 

 

As well, I called to check on the status of my RFE Evidence Received status and the call back time frame was 480 minutes.. yikes!

When you first send if your application they check for a few things and will immediately reject it if:

• You used a form that has been replaced with a newer form
• You submitted the wrong amount of money
• You forgot to sign the application

There might be a few more reasons, but it's that initial first check that all of the "Rejected due to..." statuses come from.

Okay so it's safe to say that if an RFE was issued that your initial forms that you sent were substantial enough to not reject the application right away? I'm getting so nervous now that I'm on the 2nd week after the RFE was received back for review

Thanks but what do this mean:

Copies of any necessary legal documents e.g. Power of Attorney, authorisation document, signed letter of authority etc (if applicable).. As in is this part applicable?

 

 

Hey, your partner is the one getting the ACRO right? Copies of these documents are only required if someone is applying for the ACRO on behalf of your partner. 

 

So if he's filling the application in himself, he won't need it, just the other documents stated on the list.

What was your RFE for and what did you send them back?

 

An RFE is typically going to be something like this:

• You forgot to answer a question on the form
• You didn't submit enough evidence  you have met in person, within the last 2 years
• You didn't submit enough evidence that you intend to get married within 90 days of entering the USA
• You didn't submit evidence of a divorce if you were previously married

Stuff like that.... RFEs are all about making sure you have enough evidence to meet all the criteria for applying for the VISA.

 

Think of it this way, with each step having additional verification / things they look at to make sure all if good.

 

Step 1) Basic verification of form version, money, signature is correct (NOA1)

Step 2) Are you eligible to actually apply for this visa?  (NOA2)

Step 3) Are you eligible / deserving to actually be given this visa (Interview Approval)

RFE was for a previous marriage divorce decree. I sent the full 13 page decree but they stated they needed a judge's signature along with that it's been certified in the County I live in. 

 

The County I live in has implemented a Statue stating that as of July 2016 the court commissioners are no longer physically signing them, but electronically signing them. So I sent them back a Certified Divorce Decree that includes a stamp along with the documentation the court gave me showing that my County follows an electronically filed process.

 

That's really all I can do when calling the court, so I would hope it's substantial enough, but the waiting game is killing me.

That makes sense, and you'll probably be fine.

 

I had originally sent my lawyer the copy the court gave me of my divorce decree on the day of the divorce, but my lawyer caught the fact that that version wasn't signed. I had to get a new, ceritified copy with a signature and a special stamp on it from the county court and all should be good now.

 

Don't worry!  A lot of RFEs these days are taking right at 2 weeks or so to finished up, give it a couple more weeks max I'd assume and you'll have your answer RFEs are good, because it basically means as long as you answer the question well enough you'll get your approval!
