If you look at this from a managerial perspective I would think they would, with the limited staff at USCIS and NVC, take those cases that have a better chance to be adjudicated sooner then those that would not me. Meaning, if I have a case from China and a case from Croatia and China has thousands have cases of COVID-19 and will be months before the embassy reopens compared to Croatia that has little impact, I'm going to adjudicate the Croatia before the China submittal. I look at the BIG picture rather then the small one. Just my opinion. 

 

You're on the cusp of getting an approval and during times like this it's just going to be delayed and you cannot, nor can anyone else change that. There is nothing to worry about getting approved. They wouldn't have asked for additional information (RFE) if they were not going to approve you. Be safe out there.

Thanks for your reply. I just feel like my case is not in normal time frame from the beginning. I filed in July and got RFE in Feb. which took longer time than majority of the cases in China. And i was requested to send engagement ceremony pictures which i don't have because my dad was very sick by that time. I didn't know if USCIS would consider my relationship not real or not. They also asked me to send financial support which is normally required later on. All these seems not normal. I don't understand what USCIS is exactly looking for. That's why i am so worried now

First off you overthinking everything. Stop letting your mind lead where USCIS is not going.

 

Can I share somethings with you that I learned long ago about this process

 

• "the man with the gold makes the rules" and
• it will take as long as it will take 
• no one with any certainty can tell you when some process will be completed
• Your sense of urgency will never be equaled to what USCIS, NVC or your embassy demonstrates
• Lowering your expectations will make you a much more relaxed individual

 

Good luck on your journey

i sent recent inquiry to USCIS regarding my RFE status. I was told the case is currently delayed because the required security checkes are still pending. What kind of security checks? Wasn't it supposed to finish the security checks before they sent me RFE? Are they checking if my fiance still come to USA with B1/B2 after they told my finance his B1/B2 is cancelled? I am very confused and worried

They got my RFE on 2/24 which is over a month ago. And i sent inquiry to USCIS yesterday and they replied me TODAY that required security check result is not coming back yet. I'm so confused. The security check was supposed to be done before RFE sent. And i have never seen USCIS replied application so quick. Someone told me this is all the same reply as long as the case is still in process. I don't know if it's true.

Can you give your thoughts on the result of my inquiry  from USCIS?
