I notice on here that people get emails from USCIS, about RFE's or approvals. When I got my RFE, I just received it in the mail, I never got an email. Is that normal? Has anyone else had that happen? I have checked the USCIS website and I have it checked where I can get the emails, just never received any. I was just curious.

It seems to be hit-or-miss with them. You certainly are not alone. I think VJers represent every possible combination of receiving and not receiving emails for various points along the way. And many do just get NOA2s or RFEs in their snail-mail boxes without seeing a thing change online or receiving an email.

No reason for it other than, it happens!

I am guessing on the USCIS site you have Y for yes in the collum Emails right? If it says no that is the reason.
Generally I think their system seems to be pretty slow at the moment.

Recently USCIS has been having some issues with their system and lots of ppl are getting approved without it showing on the online website at all and only finding out either when they receive their NOA2 in the mail or when the receive the letter from NVC

I didn't receive an email for my RFE but I did receive an email when my RFE was received and when I got my NOA2.

Yeah, there is definitely something wrong with the system. I was approved on May 22nd, and just found out today when I called CSC, but it showed just two touches on the 22nd and 23rd. A bunch of people have had similar situations lately...

whooo hooo also kinda exciting,alot of us could already be approved and dont even know it.

Same here. Funnily enough, after I called USCIS and found out I was approved, then they decided to email me!

we have never received emails, ever.
