I am thinking approvals only happen during the weekdays as I haven't see anyone with an approval date of Aug. 4th or Aug. 5th yet.

Yes sir! Sometimes it happens that Friday approvals will be updated on Saturday. But it seems like USCIS had some sistem maintenance yesterday so maybe that's why approvals got send out today, but dated as August 3rd.

Hey man, don't be sad. It's probably something silly. But at least you heard from them. I doubt it will delay your process too much. 

 

Keep us informed on what they asked for. And we have the same exact dates lol maybe I'll hear something from them soon too.

 

Good luck!

Oh ok yeah that makes sense. I got a notification about the system maintenance as well.  Hopefully this week coming up we will be approved among lots of others.

As another member did, you can call them and ask them to fax the RFE to you, it worked for them..

Congratulations RFE is still a good news. Most RFE’s are just an easy one to respond to.😊

Our NOA1 it’s 05 January. I’m super frustrated with this process. It’s the worst feeling don’t have any position and see people getting approved one month after your date.

Get on the phone monday you are outside the processing times window and should call to see what the issue is.

My estimate is only 7% of the filers are vj members and only 60-70% of those fill out timelines.  But it does give enough of a sampling to let you know what dates they are mostly working.

I don't think you can go to a different one even if you wanted to. Just like in Brazil, only one consulate in Mexico does the interviews for immigrant visas.
