Hi guys,

I sent back what VSC requested in the RFE and that was on July 15th. I called them a few days ago to see if they could tell me if they at least received what I had mailed to thwm. The guy couldn't tell me jackcrap. I swear these people know absoultely nothing and then simpy point you to their website. Anyways, he tells me 15days I should hear from them from the point at which I mailed it. I'm nervous I haven't gotten antyhing.

What has been anyone's experience with RFE rsponses after you mailed it to them? I searched this before on here and some people said only 11 days it took to hear from them? Should I keep calling them? It's frustrating because it seems like they just can't tell you a thing...

No, they don't know anything. When you call USCIS you can't actually calling USCIS, you are calling a call centre where the employees have scripts and cannot tell you anything other than what you can already see when you log in to check your status. Did you get a tracking number when you mailed your RFE back?

Don't keep calling, they don't know anything. The next step is you should get an e-mail from USCIS saying processing on your petition has resumed. Then, barring any other delays, the NOA-2 should come shortly.

They say it takes 60 days after you send in the RFE to get a response. After 4 weeks if you haven't heard anything, start making noise and speak to a supervisor

good luck

Hi there,

I sent it regular mail. It was just a simple form I had to mail. I actually, just tried calling them before I checked your response. lol The girl was very nice, and she said what you just did, that it could take up to 60 days. YIKES!!! Although, she said, you could keep calling them back after 4 weeks to check on the staus which is updated on their computers quicker than what's on their site. I'm just very anxious to hear from them I guess, but I need patience. To me it just seems like it shouldn't take this long.

Thanks for your advice...

There was a month between the time USCIS acknowledged receiving my RFE and the next notification which was the NOA2. You've just gotta be patient and take things one day at a time (as if you're like me mutter a lot under your breath in the interim lol). Good luck :)

No worries - I was an April filer with VSC for the K1 - it was 91 days between NOA1 and NOA2. There are people on the April filing thread who STILL dont have NOA2 (poor guys).

BUT

in the 2 weeks since receiving NOA2 my file has gone to NVC, gone to Australia, I've received packet 3 and I've done the medical. Once the medical results are back next week I can return packet 3 and get an interview date so things FLY once you get that adorable little 2nd piece of paper :) And the muttering has slowed down a lot too :P

Papillonlover,

I received an rfe last year when I forgot to sign a page on the petition. About 2 weeks later, the petition was approved. Trust me, it should not be a problem.
