Got RFE, notice date 8/29/2013. Going to deal with that this week.

I am curious about the RFE too.

Hello Everyone,

Just sharing the information of this lucky day... Our case is approved Sept 03. Our packet was just received last Aug 12...

Waiting for NOA2 hardcopy... Goodluck to all!

Congrats! I hope ours will get approved fast too. Lucky you!

RFE was about lack of petitioner passport photo. %$#^%$#^$!!!!

Anyway... from all the posts I've read in this forum, when an RFE is issued usually means NOA2 is ready to go once the RFE is saitisified. Correct me if I'm wrong.

That is usually the case. They will go right back to your petition once they received the RFE. You're almost there! Good luck!

All of these NOA2 quick approvals have me checking the uscis website on our case status constantly now, haha! I even told myself I wouldn't be THAT person who checks all the time but I just can't help it with all of the good news from those who filed in August and have already heard back!

To be honest, we hadn't planned on it going that fast and actually didn't even consider that it may happen like that, haha. We've always been concerned with making plans too soon just in case it takes past 5 months... We definitely weren't expecting this! We haven't heard anything yet, so we're still waiting, but since others from CSC have heard back, we know it may be a possibility... So congrats to all of those who received their NOA2s already! In the meantime we will still be waiting patiently!
