Today we got out I-797 notice of action. In an email we got from USCIS, it says that there's a Request for Evidence (RFE), however in the I-797 letter, there is no mention of a Request for Evidence. Does the RFE get sent afterwards, or is it really approved without any additional information. Maybe the email's are wrong?

Can someone help us out?

Thank you!

Personally, I'd wait a week and check back.

USCIS usually won't adjudicate your case until 4-5-6 months after NOA1. It might be an error that caused the status to be changed to RFE because the online system sometimes is a bit unreliable. Anyways, wait around for a week, and if the online status has not changed and you have not received anything in the mailbox, call USCIS, ask to speak to a tier2 person since the first operator can't help you with those specifics.

K1 process, October 2010 > POE, July 2011

I-129F approved in 180 days from NOA1 date. (195 days from filing to NOA2 in hand)

Interview took 224 days from I-129F NOA1 date. (241 days from filing petition until visa in hand)

From filing I-129F petition until POE: 285 days

AOS process, December 2011 > July 2012

EAD/AP Approval took 51 days from NOA1 date to email update. (77 days from filing until EAD/AP in hand)

AOS Approval took 206 days from NOA1 date to email update. (231 days from filing until greencard in hand)

From filing I-129F petition until greencard in hand: 655 days
