Our stupid RFE was saying they never received our I-130 application when we did it online🙃. Called USCIS and the tier 2 officer said they do have it but to follow the instructions.

Hi I received notification from my online acct that I have a RFE request today saying my I-130A is missing pages 4 thru 6  can you tell me do I have to wait until I received the actual RFE in the mail to respond? Can I respond now or do I need to wait and attached the original request to the evidence??

I saw a RFE on my online account today, do I have to wait for the actual RFE  to come in the mail to attached that original to my response?

or can I just respond online without attaching the mailed copy of the RFE?

 

RFE says pages 4 thru 6 of I-130A is missing

Our RFE was saying they did not get the I-130 which did not make sense as it was online. Your RFE letter will say whether they need an original. If they specifically ask for an original, then you need to may it in. I'd also send the entire I-130A, not just pages 4-6 just to be on the safe side since you only have one chance.

Yes, I sent the entire I-130A. Crazy how after 7 months they sent RFE for missing pages, so I’m wondering were they not processing the case all this time? TSC processing time is 7.5 mths. Just wondering how much longer Now I have to wait now for an approval.

You should be hearing soon. Processing time is 7.5 months meaning that is when they will get to your case and provide you with an approval. It doesn't mean they are working on your case for 7.5 months straight. On the bright side, not much longer for you! We were bummed when we got an RFE saying we never submitted the I-130 when it was done online. Turned out, they wanted a wet signature and it took them nearly two months to finally approve us after the RFE and we had overnight a hand-filled I-130 the day we got the RFE!

Well that’s what I’m saying I’m already just about at 7.5 months, so now I have to wait possibly another 2 months or so to get an approval. Sending a RFE at 7mths for missing pages?? 
it’s so hard waiting especially now school starts and home school, and working without my husband

Frustrating indeed, but you are nearly there! I'd start preparing for the NVC stage such as getting background reports (make sure they are valid for at least a few months after getting them), filling out the I-864, getting tax transcripts, etc. The That way once you get access to NVC, all you have to do is upload everything and it is a good use of waiting for your RFE response. Just look at the timeline of others. Some VJ members got their NVC letter the same day as approval, others had to wait a couple of months. We had everything prepared to upload to NVC prior to getting our letter aside from a Canadian background report which stalled us.
