It's difficult to speculate; it could be anything from a missing signature on a form, to a missing page, to a missing line on information they require. Anything. I'd suggest calling USCIS and getting an operator to try to find out asap.

RFE can delay but it doesn't mean bad news overall; possibly a correction etc. You need to find out what specifically you need to do. And now you know you are being processed and it's not just sitting there. Work is being done.

Stay positive and get them what they need once you find out.

Good luck...

Thanks everyone for all your support!!

Just wanted to know...how can I reach USCIS from Canada? Is there a number that I can dial from Canada...I have tried all the USCIS numbers listed on the web but the recording says "You can't reach this number from this dialing area"...my husband will call tommorow...but it's funny...how they say to him...that both the petitioner and the beneficiary can call...

Please let me know the number, if there is, so I can call!

Peace

1st - HAPPY BIRTHDAY :D

2nd - Do a review of the packet you sent. Maybe you will find something that was missing or where an error was made. Other than that, you'll have to sit tight and see what the RFE is. A review may reveal something that was overlooked.

Best Wishes

Thats why I had vonage with a US dialing code :) Even though Im in canada I can call US 1-800 numbers :) The only thing that sucks about it.. is I cant call canadian 1-800 numbers :bonk:

Happy birthday though!!!

Invictus..

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll.

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley
