I am sorry you have been submitted to that as well. No, no news here. My case status remains "interview was completed and my case must be reviewed".

Considering you haven't received the RFE yet in the mail, and it's been 3 weeks since your interview---I would call USCIS and speak to a L2 to see if one was sent out (and perhaps it was never delivered to you by the post man).  The last twist you want is a denial due to RFE non-response....especially if you never even received it.

The really cool thing about the USCIS information line is that they can contact you back and do. I remember recently, this year, after applying for naturalization in Aug 2018, I had to contact them to get my online account unlocked. When I contacted them I was not able to speak to a Level 2 representative who could help me with my problem due to them being busy or the time. I kept receiving calls from a New York, NY number and it ended up being the representative trying to contact me to resolve my problem.

Oh yeah they can contact you back, for sure---I'm suggesting the OP also be proactive on their part instead of just keep on waiting for a RFE that may or may not show up (or may have been sent out and lost in transit), but ultimately their decision whether to do that or not of course.

That is a very smart idea! Thank you!

I’m already on the phone waiting for an agent to pick up my call.

 

I have read about people waiting to hear on their cases for over 8 months... I wonder if that is going to be my case...  I will definitely call them every month just to make sure I stay on top of my case.

 

This journey is SO mentally draining! It feels unjust to be singled out and then left on limbo like this.

Just talked to an USCIS officer over the phone.

 

Good news, I guess? The USCIS officer said we are within processing time (18 to 26.5 months - and we are at about 14, so we still have 4 more months to get to the earliest possible processing time). He also said (verbatim): “the system is not showing any red flags, which is a good thing”, and “there are no derogatory remarks”.

 

And now we wait some more...

What questions did they ask you during your interview? Can you describe how it went? 

Ours still says interview scheduled. It will be 2 weeks Thursday

Just to post a happy update: we did get an RFE, as they wanted the translation of my birth certificate to be done by someone other than myself. We sent that on Thursday and today the status has changed to “new card is being produced”.
