Congrats! To the recent approved... Does anyone know what's the cut off time for the day for approvals... Like no more approvals After 5pm For the day.. And guess also taking to mind what center and their time zone. Would like to know when to stop checking my email :-/

Hi everyone,

I'm an OCtober 2013 filer. Our case was transferred today to the Nebraska Service Center. I'm just curious if any of you have recieved approvals from there and how long it took? I was really hoping to get transferred to CSC (as I'm sure a lot of people were) since they were approving so quickly. I hope Nebraska will be quick too....

Good luck everyone!

You have every right to be upset right now - I would be a complete wreck (major points to you for even being able to type right now!)!

It's ridiculous to have a third party, a government agency, issue a statement that essentially says "you didn't give us enough proof of your marriage, so we're going to need you to jump through more hoops".

Although it's probably more like "ummm, like, when we sent your petition packet to California, we like, asked our intern to put it in the envelope and stuff, and like, he totally dropped it in a mud puddle outside the office so like, ALL your paperwork got wet! And we like, didn't want to send it to California all wet and soggy, so we like, threw it in the garbage. Soooo, could you, like, send it again? Kthanks lolz!"

Do you know if anyone in other threads had success with Tier 2 agents in finding out what the RFE is for before you receive the notice in the mail (it could save you a couple days)? smile.png

I haven't heard of anybody getting the info on what the RFE is for from any Tier 2... actually, no, I vaguely recall one person saying that they were able to get it. So it's possible. But as with anything involving tier 1 and 2, it's obviously a question of finding the one USCIS tier 2 agent who's willing to search around in the computer for that info. Frustrating, I know.

Not trying to expedite, well, it would be nice. But since I got an RFE I'm thinking it should be pretty decent evidence, I'm assuming. Bah! Thanks though!

Was the RFE for more evidence of bona fide marriage? If so, definitely send that in :D

Btw, if the RFE is for your K3 and not your I-130, I think you can just ignore it. I think someone else got the same thing a while ago and just let it be since they'll close your K3 soon anyway. It's up to you though. Good luck :)

I am the beneficiary.

When two people are meant for each other, no time is too long, no distance is too far, no one can ever tear them apart.

Fabulous idea!!! Ha!

Was the RFE for more evidence of bona fide marriage? If so, definitely send that in biggrin.png

Btw, if the RFE is for your K3 and not your I-130, I think you can just ignore it. I think someone else got the same thing a while ago and just let it be since they'll close your K3 soon anyway. It's up to you though. Good luck smile.png

I imagine its for more evidence of a bona fide marriage. I hardly sent anything in with the k3 paperwork, just some basics. I sent all the good stuff with the i130 packet that I sent off! I have no idea what to do with it haha. If my i130 moves along shortly with no problems, then I'll probably just skip the k3. I was just really hoping the k3 would come through so hubby could be here in July for the big day with no issues! Now we'll have to test our luck with VWP and customs...sigh..lol

Fabulous idea!!! Ha!

I imagine its for more evidence of a bona fide marriage. I hardly sent anything in with the k3 paperwork, just some basics. I sent all the good stuff with the i130 packet that I sent off! I have no idea what to do with it haha. If my i130 moves along shortly with no problems, then I'll probably just skip the k3. I was just really hoping the k3 would come through so hubby could be here in July for the big day with no issues! Now we'll have to test our luck with VWP and customs...sigh..lol

Ahh I see. I know what you mean.. I hate that they're not actually processing K3's separate from I-130s :( I put all my eggs into the K3 basket before finding VJ.

Anyway, I'm sure he can come visit! As long as he shows a reason to go back, he should be fine.

I am the beneficiary.
