Congrats, OP! Very lucky.

 

The delay for everyone else is not because of an RFE. Most people wait 8-12 months. I waited 9 at Potomac with no RFE, and was approved last month.

Is that so? I thought the delay was the RFE.

Really??

Yes, the wait is due to the amount of applicants and staff available to process them.

If someone gets an RFE it'll usually be after they start looking through the file almost a year later.

Front loading is something normal which is also noted in the VJ guide.

You can find lots of profiles on here where people never got an RFE and waiting that one, I've also known 2 people personally who got approved a few years ago and it was the same process.

 

But remember everyones case is different as well, so what one person provided, may not be as good as the next person.

Congratulations. I'm so happy for you.😊

 

My priority date is the 3rd of March 2020. We got the Notice of Receipt  on the 9th of March but they made a mistake with my husband's date of birth. They sent us a next notice saying they are waiting for the immigration officer to review the file to do the correction. 

 

I'm hoping we get a reply soon.

Dont think so much about the wait time. Just focus on having everything ready in case they ask for certain RFE's. I know I'm going way ahead but I would also make sure I know where to obtain civil documents. I was at the california service center and it took them a while to process and approve my petition. But like you said. Hope for good news on your behalf soon.
