I've just got a notification from Lawfully that USCIS sent RFE yesterday. I'm not sad because I know that we made a mistake and sent only one intention to marry with two signatures on it. ( I hope they only need that 😀)
I'm worried how long will it take to receive the mail. Because my fiance will come here next week and I'm not sure if we are allowed to response to RFE while he is away from US.

Did they say what the RFE was for yet or you waiting to receive? How long will be in the US for?

No extra information, we should wait until we get the mail.

Probably best, if you both signed the intent to marry I believe that should be enough. It could be asking you to confirm something else, I'd see what that is and then go from there

Technically speaking, an RFE is a written request for more information and documentation that USCIS mails out if they believe that they don’t yet have enough evidence to approve or deny a given application. An RFE normally is a minor item and should not be looked at like it's a denial but an opportunity for you to complete your application. USCIS would not send out an RFE if they were going to deny your application. It's just a step that they must take and once they have your information and it meets their approval then you should be seeing your NOA2.

There are many varying degrees of RFE's. Some as simple as not "ticking" off a question. Others forgot the fiancé(e) letter and then others who met on a website and now need to prove that it wasn't a marriage arrangement website.

Once you get your RFE, read over very carefully as you only have one chance to reply accurately without causing undue harm. Once you know FROM THE RFE what it is set out to correct and to include "everything" they are asking for. Then reread the RFE to ensure you are compliant. Make copies of everything for your record and send back using their instructions which are contained within the RFE. If the RFE requires a signature, PLEASE don't forget this. Include the original RFE letter along with a cover letter explaining what you are including in your reply. Like a checklist format. Once received at USCIS your case will begin adjudication where the agent had left off. No one can tell you how long it will take so be patient. 

 

REF's are normally received like any other mail piece, within a week. "your mileage may vary"

Good luck! Let us know whe. You get it what happened. I did intent to marry on one page and we both signed it when I visited her just prior to submitting. I did not get an rfe. Hoping for the best for you!

[Greenbaum 12,259]

This time you can't kick the dog (Pres Trump). The article never says it's Pres Trumps fault. Oy Vy!

 

The destruction of reason has seen the triumph of ignorance.  

 

USA Today has reported that since Congress has failed to reach a deal on a COVID-19 stimulus package, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) will proceed with its furlough of about 13,400 employees, or about two-thirds of its workforce, on August 30th.

Just be glad you submitted when you did and not sooner; there have barely been any cases from March processed yet, and it looks like ones from April onwards will be delayed by this the most. We're waiting same as you but it looks like there are still at least 70 people from February that haven't been approved yet. Just hang in there a little longer!
