Today my online status updated- RFE sent. My NOA1 date Oct-14, 2019.

Good that my case is being worked on. Wondering what the RFE might be... will definitely work my best and earliest to respond to it.

 

Same. Just got notice there was an RFE sent today. I have a few ideas as to what it could be, so I think I will try to anticipate and gather those things ahead of time. Please, any advice would be appreciated. I didn't include a letter with an official format that said, "I intend to marry my fiance within 90 days of entering the US - just a personal letter from him that said he intended to. I also had an underage drinking ticket from two weeks before my 21st birthday (the worst). It was a misdemeanor charge, but I had later moved and forgot that I still owed community service and ended up having a warrant, which I was later arrested for. That's the extend of my criminal record (so embarrassing) but I'm thinking I should obtain those records? Can anyone direct me to a resource for information about what they may need?

Just curious did they make you do the community service to clear your records?  Did you send anything in this regard while filing?

Yes, I had to complete 24 hours of community service and everything was fine. The only other issues I've ever had were a couple of speeding tickets. I think I must not have read the directions closely enough. This is what I found upon re-reading it:

 

Item Number 4.b. Criminal History Documents. If you indicated “Yes” in Item Number 4.a., provide information that explains the circumstances, places, dates, and outcomes for each incident of arrest, citation, charge, indictment, conviction, fine, or imprisonment. You must submit court certified copies of the arrest record and/or disposition for each incident unless you submit a certified statement from the court indicating that no record exists of your arrest, citation, charge, indictment, conviction, fine, or imprisonment.

 

I missed that part. Although stupid, underage consumption of alcohol is a pretty insignificant charge, so I didn't think to read it closely and just gave a quick explanation. Oops. I will work on obtaining those records tomorrow in anticipation of the RFE. Even if that isn't the issue, it would be good to have them on hand for when we get further along in the process.

Yes having a record that it is all clear might be a good thing have with you in this process. Great positive attitude! Keep us posted how it goes.

Thank you. I'll post on here when I receive the letter. I was thinking about how grateful I am that I was pulled over that time - just two years after. I would never have known that I had a warrant out for my arrest and it could have been years and years later with my son in the car or something awful. Or now, while I'm going through this whole thing.

I just checked my case status online and discovered that my application was approved today.  I literally jumped out of my chair and startled a coworker. My NOA1 was Oct 14 so my application took 108 days for approval.  Hang it there everyone, the approvals are coming.

125 here. Hopefully our good news is soon.

Our petition was approved! The app notified me tonight, but USCIS says it was approved yesterday (01/29/2020) Our NOA1 was 10/7/19 so 114 days. So relieved to be moving to the next step. Fiancé is getting the vaccines he's missing next week and we've already gone through the DS-160 together so we're ready to submit it when interview gets scheduled. Wishing for quick approvals for everyone else soon!
