Sarah, I don't think RFE issue. Those morons may not have time to do any other things including newspaper reading :rofl: So, then how about VJ :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I hope you're right :lol: .... I have been pretty mean to them over the last few weeks.

Mean? Maybe, but its not like didnt deserve it!

:dance:

Here is my story. I've lived problem free life, payed my taxes. One day I decided to marry this girl. But to do so would require her to come to US of A, and so it started. My problem free live turned in to free problems from USCIS! Sure things turned to unsure, certain dates turned to aproximation within months. All logical thinking was out the door, as I filed my papers withing famous Vermont Centre!

Just an update for you all really. I have had 2 touches in the last 2 days on my I-130 (nothing on the I-129f, seems not to be unusual though) and the second one yesterday was the dreaded RFE! Hopefully nothing to worry about. Anyway, today I got yet another touch on my I-130. I thought this was supposed to be suspended until we gave them the extra info they want? Oh well! All I am saying is that things seem to be happening with our petition and hopefully it will be back on track in a couple of weeks when we sort the RFE. So for those of you with similar timelines if movement hasn't already happened then it should be very soon. Good luck!

Thanks for letting us know Dave. Yes, I thought the processing was supposed to be suspended until RFE was sorted ... interesting.

Maybe the RFE is something really silly and they're going to carry on with everything else till you've sent your stuff in, so that it doesn't delay you further ..... hmmm, maybe I'm expecting them to be smart and thoughtful :lol:

Thats what I'm hoping. It would appear that it is being set up for an approval but as we all know, dont try to second guess them and dont get your hopes up. I'll post on here when I know what the RFE is all about.

Cheers!

I would be content if VSC was actually approving petitions. What I am dissapointed with is that California has approved many petitions in recent weeks while Vermont seems to be prioritizing differently. I think I130 petition for spouse should take precedence over K1, H1, Tourist visas, etc.
