Hang in there, friend. I’ve been so discouraged too the past weeks so I was quiet here. I’m thinking the date when you received the letter could factor in too? I really tried to come up with stuff to make the USCIS work process make sense to me. We got the letter on 03/15. When did you get yours?

[Keithn85 400]

Update on response to RFE request:
I went crazy.  I forgot to call USCIS on Friday so I am currently on hold with them.  I also put in an e-request and notified that I only sent back a divorce decree and a 1/4 page letter.  It does not take 2 weeks to go through this information.  I was civil in the message but i also expressed both of ours concerns.  I hope one of these two gets me somewhere with this.  If not, well then I will call and inquire until I hear something.  I leave for Ukraine on Thursday so it will be harder to call USCIS from there and it would be awesome to know something before I arrive to Ukraine this time.  I know patience is the key, but I guess what gets me is it says "we have resumed working on your case" which for me means they are actively working on it and not just sitting on it.  And unless they are examining one letter at a time, the documents take maybe a day to go through with a fine tooth comb.  

I apologize if I sound whiney or complaining as I know to be patient.  It has just been a weird day.  I am ecstatic for the people who inquired outside of processing and received answers as that is another seed of hope planted.  If you all skipped down to this sentence, know that I smile at this moment when I write this.  hang in there and know you can vent like I did above and we all understand in some way, shape or form.  And also know that patience is truly the key.

Alright an update on the call I just finished with.  It took me all of 2 hours on the phone but it was well worth it.  They said no movement on the case.  I said "well i figured with the little evidence I sent back, it would not take this long.  I did not expect a day or 2 of turnaround but I figured a week would do it."  He said "hold on" and he looked some more.  He said "well your case is outside of processing time but i see you put in an outside of processing time request already so I cannot do it.  But you did the right thing and you can let yourself and the little lady know (because i called her that) that you guys are at the last stretch of the process.  I cannot give you a date and there is a chance it might take 30 days from now to respond or move forward but just let her know that.  I know you and her are both probably (and i cannot remember how he put it but it was good) but you guys are near the end and just hang in there a little longer."  I want to be that guy.  That is my aspiration every day at work and what I strive for with every post I make, save the previous one where I laugh at myself for how I sounded.  I wish everyone talked to this guy that I did.

So for those of you who do have a case outside of processing time and want to wait on the phone, do it and let USCIS put in the e-request for you.  If not, then at this moment put in the e-request yourself!!   And know it might take a week or 2 before you hear something, if not longer, but after 30 days, put in another.  And I would maybe call if it takes that long.  I have some at least good news for her.  Now it is time to go grocery shopping and do some laundry.

I’m happy for you, and your approval gives me hope mine is around the corner. Our letter was on the 13th of March

Great Job Keith. Persistence and Patience is key.

And i could check but when did you send it?  If it was the end of September, you should hear something within the next maybe week or 2?  or it will update overnight and you'll see tomorrow.
Basically its like you prodded them and they said "whoa, we should work on this now that they contacted us."  You inspired them to complete their adjudication!

I sent the inquiry 9/28. I hope to hear soon and I hope you get NOA2 soon too

We sent an inquiry last week and my fiancé received an email today saying they sent an approval notice on the 4th of October. I wanted to see my case status change on USCIS before I got really excited and today I’ve woken up to it!!
