Ha, when I first applied one of my biggest worries was receiving an email like the one I just got...

The VSC has notified me that my RFE is on its way!

*crosses fingers that it's only IMBRA and nothing else wrong with the petition!*

<----------- me, doing my "RFE Dance"

I never thought I'd envy someone for getting an RFE, either!

Congrats!

ok...is Vermont the only service center that's been sending them out, or have some people at CA had some too?

So far VSC only.

Know that this Imbra thing has messed many of you up and I feel for you so hope that what is coming is not too bad and can soon be sorted and then you can be on your way again.

CSC will be sending them out also. I just got an email from my Senator saying they are on the way!!!!!

There was conflicting information on the K-1 page on this issue. Some said releasing RFE's by Friday, others said soon...Soon? What is that?

I however, will side with the positive information! I am looking forward to an RFE in the box any day now.

With all due respect to the VSC folks, I have waited much longer than most of them have. As a matter of fact, there are several people from January in the CSC pipeline. Don't you think they should get the RFE in front of those who have a May or June NOA1?

That is my chief complaint. Has anyone ever heard of a queue? Well, at least someone is getting serviced. That is positive news.

It's not fair, but you can't blame it on us, and we can't help but be happy about our cases.

lol... I'd never think that RFE's would evoke so much joy..

I can accept that. This is clearly not the VSC customer's fault, it is a huge bonus for your geographical location! Simple as that. I am only voicing complaints over the USCIS handling of cases with IMBRA in mind and otherwise. There has always been disparity in processing times.

I call for the boss of the USCIS to be sacked! Clearly, an individual who has been promoted to the level of incompetence. Good luck to you and all others who are in the VSC pipeline.

I am hoping the other services will pick it up real soon, let's hope for this Friday!

I hope so, this waiting is killing me. When you're waiting for something you have a date you know what to expect, but being in the dark is just CRAZY!!

With all due respect back atcha those with petitions from back in January at CSC would not be waiting on an RFE due to IMBRA. Most likely they are caught up in security checks.

Also what happens in VSC has no bearing on what happens at CSC. They both have their own policies, procedures and individual leadership. VSC is renowned for efficiency. I do feel though that something seriously should be done about the way things are done at CSC.

All the best. I hope that those in CSC will start to receive their RFE's shortly.

That is probably true of the January folks. I am fortunately not one of them.

However, You are mistaken on the CSC/VSC thing.

They are all USCIS, with one leader (Director Emilio Gonzalez). Yes of course, each office has a Chief, but at the end of the day it is USCIS. They are required to follow the same procedures and policy. That is the way the Government works, er.. is supposed to work.

Do you also think each FBI, IRS or Social Security office is independently operated? Absolutely not.

Having worked for the U.S. Government, I am certain of this.

It is also documented that each service center makes their own interpretations on directives from USCIS and operate as such. If I can find the information I refer to I will post it for you. I do have a memory like an elephant though

I am very much aware of how things work as well, via my husband and avid love of research.

Most depressing...all this talk about RFEs coming out of VSC, and promised to emerge from CSC, and I think my case may be stuck at NSC where it originated, and I have no reason to believe that it hasn't come full cilrcle via NVC, Paris Embassy and back. I got emails from CRIS saying my I129F petition had been "received" June 16 and would I would rreceive a decision when processing completed. ?????? No explanation of what this cryptic message means, received where???? why???? then I got another couple of emails from my buddy CRIS saying my case had been reopened on motion of the USCIS and that I would receive a decision after processing, and to check the timeline to shed some light on that. It would help if they mentioned where the heck the dang thing is now, and why it's there? In the meantime, my sweetie, whose English is very sparse , is suffering greatly and wondering what he has done that the Paris embassy has not called him for an interview after he sent the pkt 3 materilas back to them May 5th...

Has anyone else out there who originally filed at the NSC and had NOA2 approved on or around March 6 had a similar experience? If my case had been transferred to CSC on this second go round, as seems to be the case for most, would they clue me in?
