RFE AFTER APPROVAL

[Claire B 8]

So I’ve just had notification of an RFE after 83 days since my NOA2. Once I receive it and deal with it, how long will it take for USCIS to send my case to NVC? It’s already been at NVC and was sent back to USCIS as there was a page missing. Just want any input on response times. 

[Allaboutwaiting 2,503]

If I'm understanding correctly: your case was approved, sent to NVC and returned to USCIS because they noticed a page was missing. And on top of that, they sent you an RFE?

[Claire B 8]

Yes that is correct. I’m just hoping they deal with it quickly as my K2 will age out in 93 days so it’s kind of critical 

[Allaboutwaiting 2,503]

You posted recently about it, didn't you? 

 

In our personal experience, the RFE delayed our case a month.

 

I am guessing the RFE is for the missing page? USCIS instead of trying to find it, is asking you to send it again. 

[Claire B 8]

I’m trying to think of it positively that at least it’s moving forward. Im going to call them after they receive it and explain the situation. It was actually successfully expedited at NVC back in early Feb due to my K2 so I’m hoping that will still apply. I just need USCIS to move on it quickly and I have run out of faith with them after everything! 

[Allaboutwaiting 2,503]

I know, so unnerving to have them messing up such important matters. 

Agree the RFE feels like at least they are doing something. 

 

Do you have informed delivery? 

[Claire B 8]

Yes. As soon as it arrives I’m going to call them and request they expedite to NVC as a matter of urgency. I can only hope!

When you send the RFE back may be worth adding a short cover letter explaining aging out K2 and previous approved expedite (as well as your calling plan)

Also if it was a mistake (missing page) due to USCIS/NVC error, you're entitled to an expedite

Hi, how is everything going? 

Any good news? What was your RFE about?

Hi. They asked for an entire page of the I-129f! I know it was sent originally and they would most definitely not approved it in the first place with a page missing. I’ve sent them it back and they received it on the 5th. I’m going to be contacting them today. All I need them to do is send it quick to NVC and we should just make the timeframe. If they sit on it for another 83 days it’s over. Trying to stay positive and thank you for checking up on me

So that was the missing page that caused the delay. Unbelievable how they are so good at losing documents -and even single pages-.

 

Sending all the best vibes towards you and hoping everything moves fast.

Well they asked him for the entire 129f forms which is 12 pages I think. OP deserves an expedite and some. I’m glad I made copies for myself.

Thank you so much. I am not worried once it arrives at NVC and the embassy will allow me to expedite. It’s USCIS that I have concerns with. I also have the local congressman calling them today so hope we get somewhere fast!
