I just wanted to say time FLIES, in 2 months I will be a year in since my Vawa was submitted, it still feels like yesterday when I was bothering you guys with my questions and impatience 🤣🤣, but like other people have said, this is a journey of patience and strength , we thank God for how far we have come, and as the new year approaches us, I pray to God Almighty that the new year brings us tremendous breakthrough and endless testimonies, and APPROVALS, APPROVALS, APPROVALS!! Thanks a lot to @sandranj @Shroy123 @Stillwinning!!!😊 and everyone else for their advice and encouragement, I can promise you guys, I don't know what my story will be if I didn't stumble upon this forum, I pray that you will receive favor and help at every step of your needs. To everyone who got approved or made breakthroughs, who is buying drinks tonight????

Oh😳😳😳 Really??? Oh goodness. Maybe I should do my medicals now I just don't want to waste it if it will go beyond 60days. Or did you just receive your notice late?

Here is my timeline for interview

‘Interview Scheduled’ status: Nov 13

Interview Notice: Nov 27

Interview: Dec 02

 

My case may be one-off, but it happened. I had sent my medicals with application. So I just had to put together my documents. In your situation, I would go ahead and do medicals and in case they expire request doc to issue the report again although it might cost you few extra bucks. Its my personal preference. Loads of wishes for you!!

It happens that way sometimes for some people, not everyone..but usually there's 7-14 days notice...for me I had more than a month's notice!👍Cindy you can go ahead and have it done😊 I know the anxiety won't let you wait...plus you're already scheduled..so go ahead!👍

or RFE is not necessary to get the approval on VAWA

RFE is not a process..it's only given out to address deficiencies where and when needed! So relax👍😊

No, while plenty of cases get RFE'd, if you were to build a strong case from the very beginning you can get approved without any RFEs.

 

Remember, RFE stands for "Request for evidence", essentially the agent reviewing your case thinks that something is missing and asks you to send it in.

While it sucks you have to just grit your teeth and be prepared to be patient. My own case took over 17 months to get an RFE and almost 27 months to get approved.

What was your RFE about ?!

Good faith marriage and cohabitation. I gave them everything I could find (bank records with a lot of items distinguished, college transcripts, gift receipts, ring receipts, tax information), then in my cover letter I also pointed them to some evidence in a prior I-130 like a letter from a landlord where we used to live, and basically called their claims b******t in slightly more polite terms: "I disagree with the assertion that...".
