Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline or your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine your Embassy. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Thanks

Hello! Is Mr. @Greenbaum here or anyone who can help? 😅 We received an RFE, asking for one copy of my 2 by 2 passport photo (Because the one my fiance sent was clearly the wrong size 😞) and a letter of intent to marry from me. I am the beneficiary. I hear that if it's only as simple as these documents it wouldn't take as long or should we still expect the maximum 75 day wait time for RFEs? 😕 They should receive our document either this Monday or Tuesday. We just want to get in the right mindset as to what to expect these following weeks. Thank you so much. Although, Congrats to everyone who got their approval already!! 😄 We are still fighting!! I wish everyone a Merry Christmas this year!!  🎅🤶🎄

From what I saw approvals after RFE were as quick as 9 days. It seems it would depends on if they were waiting for something else, like result of background checks for example.  Official RFE regulation only states

Quote

"USCIS publishes a 60-day processing time goal, which means our goal is to within that period either make a decision or schedule any necessary interview or process involving the applicant. To reset customer expectations and minimize unnecessary case status inquiries, RFE notices should clearly indicate this."

I am not sure where you got 75 day. Hopefully it won't be nearly as long as though! But upcoming holidays and vacation times might slow things down a tad.

Congratulations! I knew you'd be soon! Now it's time to wait for the NVC to receive it. I was so happy when I saw the notification update for your timeline!

Follow the instructions closely and return as soon as you can. Yours is simple and will be adjudicated rather quickly 2-4 weeks.

Does anyone here who filed in Texas? We received our Noa1 last June 28 and still waiting for approval. Lot of June filers are already approved here. Seems that Texas is the slowest service center. Ugh 😕

If you sent your form to the lockbox in Texas, it was forwarded to the California service center.  Texas doesn’t have a service center.  I filed in Texas, my NOA1 is June 18, and also has not been approved.  Approvals depend on more factors than just when it was received.  

Have patience, it will happen!

 

I-129F packet sent = 06/15/2018

I-129F NOA1 = 06/21/2018

RFE = 12/19/2018

RFE response = 01/12/2019

I-129F NOA2 = 01/19/2019

NVC received = 02/14/2019 ♥️

Embassy received = 03/07/2019

Interview = 05/07/2019  Requested more documents.  Returned beneficiary's passport to him. Submitted documents 6/3/19. Email received saying they were received.

Emailed Consulate = 08/02/2019 asking about visa. Received email stating they had never received the documents. Sent documents again. 

Phone call from consulate = 08/07/2019 saying they were approving the visa. Fiancé has to send them his passport. 

Passport returned to consulate (in person) = 

Visa received = 09/05/2019

Entry into USA = 10/24/2019

Married = 11/23/2019

AOS sent =
