Received RFE!

[JedNik 5]

We got notified through email and on the USCIS website saying that an RFE got sent out today.

We filed July 27, so at least we now know that our case has indeed been touched!!

Does this mean that this will kick things into high gear? And once we reply to the RFE that things will start rolling?!

My fiance and I both got quite excited mainly because we now know that they are indeed moving along!

While yes, it does mean that your petition is in the adjudication process; it is now currently on hold, and likely in another pile, waiting for your response to the RFE. You should wait until you get the actual RFE letter, and then be prepared to fully, timely and accurately respond to the request. It may be something simple, or not, there is no way to fully determine with the actual letter. You can post the actual RFE letter contents (redacting personal information) on the forum, if you want to elicit discussion and comments from other forum members. The quicker you respond, the quicker your petition gets on down the line.

Hoping it is a minor delay on your immigration journey.

It's so bad for CSC K1 applicants that this is what it has come to...we are happy to receive an RFE.

In a weird way I was happy to get a RFE as I finally knew that the petition was being adjudicated. I was in CSC and it only took six or seven days from the CSC RFE receipt date to the NOA2! So JedNik I'd be excited that you are getting close to approval. Just be sure to respond throughly and don't forget to include your RFE notice. Good Luck!

[Jen&jorge 1]

good luck it usually takes a month or less to get approved

I can't believe I am saying this either, but congrats on the RFE! As a July 26 filer, I'm glad that CSC is at least touching us late-July petitions now. I'm sure whatever it is that they need can be submitted and fixed quick and you will be on your way with that NOA2 soon. :-)

I agree. This is actually good news in a weird sort of way. As far as turning the RFE around, our timeline was like this.

1. RFE notice on the USCIS site - Tuesday, Oct 9

2. Received hard copy (which you must have for your reply) - Friday, Oct 12

3. Mailed reply with requested evidence - Monday, Oct 15

4. NOA2 notification on USCIS site - Friday, Oct 19

Since we had a weekend to assemble the response, it worked out pretty well. Only 8 business days from RFE to NOA2.

PS: Don't forget to include the BLUE cover page with your response.

September and October '12 were much different at the CSC. The workers there were on fire...turning approvals around in 3-4 months. Things have slowed quite a bit since then, so I wouldn't stress about 8 days.
