We got an email in response to our inquiry which we placed 3 day ago, email says:

 

Your case is currently being adjudicated. You should receive a notice of action* as soon as it has been completed.

not sure what does this mean, is this mean they have made the decision on our case? And will inform us soon????

 

your responses will be highly appreciate.

 

No decision on your case. No one knows with any certainty when you will receive notice of case completion.  Writing and calling doesn't speed the process.  You can write 100 times and the answer will be the same 100 times.

From my own experience, I can say that you will hear a response soon. We were told the same thing on June 03 when we called and asked to speak with a level 2, and on June 06 the previous page was updated requesting evidence. If something is being awarded at any time, something will happen.

They are from the UAE and processing normally takes a little longer so it will not mirror what you are experiencing from DR.

Sí, una respuesta sin respuesta.

 

Son de los Emiratos Árabes Unidos y el procesamiento normalmente demora un poco más, por lo que no reflejará lo que está experimentando desde DR.

That makes sense! Just keep the faith

Does the I129f processing time depend on the beneficiary's country? I thought I've always read here that it doesn't matter. Is there any data on this? I've been curious if that info has been extracted from timelines.

I think this will answrr your questions.

 

As part of its benefits adjudication process and as required by law, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) conducts background checks on petitioners and applicants who seek certain immigration benefits. These background checks consist of four separate checks against systems within Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In order to facilitate the collection and transmission of information necessary to complete background check processes, USCIS maintains five information technology electronic systems: the Fingerprint Masthead Notification System (FMNS), the Customer Identity Capture System (CICS), the FD-258 Tracking System - Mainframe (FD-258 MF), the Benefits Biometrics Support System (BBSS), and the Interagency Border Inspection System (IBIS) Manifest. USCIS is conducting this privacy impact assessment (PIA) because FMNS, CICS, FD-258 MF, BBSS, and IBIS Manifest collect, use, and share personally identifiable information (PII). This PIA replaces the previously published USCIS PIA for the "Background Check Service (BCS)" which describes planned background check-related systems that were never implemented. Upon publication of this PIA, the BCS PIA will be retired.

Additional screening and background checks based on country of birth, citizenship, or residency in the “State Sponsors of Terrorism” (T-7) list: Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Sudan, Syria; or from the “List of 26”: Afghanistan, Bahrain, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, UAE, Yemen. This is a mandatory stop list and allegedly takes 2 to 4 days, thanks in part to the partially rolled out PATRIOT (Pre-Adjudicated Threat Recognition and Intelligence Operations Team) system managed by ICE, but often take 3 to 6 weeks and if there is a hit who knows how long.

Security Advisory Opinion (SAO) or Washington Special Clearance,[1] commonly called security clearance, administrative clearance, or administrative processing,[2] is a process the United States Department of State and the diplomatic missions of the United States use in deciding to grant or deny a United States visa to certain visa applicants. The process involves sending a request from the visa issuing post to the Department of State's headquarters in Washington, D.C., to investigate an individual's case for possible espionage, terrorism, and illegal export of technology out of the United States.

Check your spam folder. We see this a lot where an email is sent and your email thinks it's spam. You may want to circle back with USCIS and ask for a tier 2 and see if they can help locate your RFE. Some are willing to fax you a copy others will read it to you and others will do nothing.

They said they have issue a RFE  by post mail on 23 July, and neither my fiancé or our attorney have received it yet, our attorney has requested on 7th July a copy of RFE let’s see, hoping for the best. 🙏
