Yes, Case is on hold until RFE is resolved. Once they receive it, they'll continue where they left off.

After one year I finally got a notice for RFE. I submitted only english translation of my marriage certificate and forgot to provide them original arabic version.

 

Now they are asking me for original arabic version along with name of the registars that did the translation. No problem I have it but I am confused. Do I submit these 2 documents via USCIS website by attaching the files or do I mail it via postal?

 

In the notice letter they asked me to include the COVER SHEET on top of my documents...Can I take a screenshot of the cover sheet and upload it with my documents or print everything and mail it via postal.

 

note - in notice letter they are asking to mail but there is also option of uploading documents via uscis.

 

thank you

You can't upload an original document.  If they asked for the original and instructed you to mail, then do exactly what it says....Mail it.

If they gave you an option, then you can upload a copy of cover letter.

you are still not understand. the notice letter is a separate PDF which contains a COVER LETTER its 4 pages , i took screenshot of cover letter for you, do i upload the screenshot or should i mail everything in via postal? as you can see on top of cover letter its saying to mail...but on uscis website it also gave me option to UPLOAD documents..so this is whats confusing me.

This RFE instructs you to mail the evidence.

I received a RFE for my CR1 about 9-10 days ago. I mailed my evidence and arrived to USCIS on Dec 14. Yet it's still showing on USCIS waiting for RFE to be sent...How long does it take for them to update the website that my RFE was received.

 

Note - I mailed the evidence via postal mail not uploaded on website. Should I also upload the evidence via the website to speed things up or no?

 

Thank you

The status may never update. I have seen that many times. It’s simply unreliable. As long as you have proof of delivery, you’re covered.

The RFE screenshot from before instructs to mail, not upload

hi guys...I finally got an update on my case via uscis website. not sure what this means...she will not be applying for anything in morocco other than go to her visa interview whenever that time comes. are they forwarding my case to NVC now?

 

The above petition has been approved. However, you indicated on the petition that the beneficiary intends to apply for an immigrant visa abroad at a U.S. Embassy or a U.S. Consulate and will also apply for adjustment of status in the United States. Since you have indicated both options, USCIS has retained the petition.

 

If the beneficiary intends to apply for adjustment of status in the United States, they should submit a copy of this notice, along with a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. They can obtain Form I-485 from the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov, by contacting the USCIS National Customer Service Center (NCSC) at 1-800-375-5283, or by visiting the local USCIS field office. Filing address information can be found on the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov.
If the beneficiary decides to apply for an immigrant visa outside the United States based on this petition, you should file Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition, to request that we send the petition to the U.S. Department of State National Visa Center (NVC).

 

The NVC processes all approved immigrant visa petitions that require consular action. The NVC also determines which consular post is the appropriate consulate to complete visa processing. It will then forward the approved petition to that consulate.
The NVC will contact the beneficiary of this petition with further information about immigrant visa processing steps.
THIS NOTICE IS NOT A VISA AND MAY NOT BE USED IN PLACE OF A VISA.
