We finally heard back from USCIS with an RFE. I am unsure if we should be happy (that we werent flat out denied), sad, worried (that we might now have what they ask), or hopeful that its something simple. I guess its a good sign they felt an RFE was in order, vs. flat out denying us.

* Do people that get RFE's generally get approved?

* Are the RFE usually something simple?

* How long after answering an RFE does it generally take to hear something back?

An RFE is sent so that they can tell you exactly what they need from you to approve the petition. Yes, they are generally something simple (missing documentation or missing a question on the petition). Basically, all you need to prove in the petition is that both of you are free to marry (divorce decree, death certificate of former spouse), that you have met in person in the past 2 years (passport stamps, boarding passes with potentially a few pictures), and that you intend to marry within 90 days (by letters of intent).

I don't know what the average time is, but I received my NOA2 10 days after CSC received my RFE response.

Whatever the RFE is you should have it and if not give detailed explanation as to why iys nt in your possession. You are already thinking about a DENIAL before anything. Be positive

You're ahead of me so I can't really answer too many of those, but I wanted to say that I'm happy for you. Most of the RFE's I've seen through this forum have been pretty simple. Most difficult ones I've actually seen are people who didn't have any proof of meeting in the past 2 years. I would guess there's just something on the form that wasn't filled in properly or something missing. Once you get it and get it back to them it probably won't be too long for your approval. Glad to see you making progress on your case
