We too got movement today for an NOA1 of March 28th, but got hit with a Request for Initial Evidence instead of a straight approval (which we thought we'd prepared everything so well, so it's definitely aaah and 😢).

 

Unfortunate for us, but definitely shows movement for fellow 28ths!!! :D

I’m sorry for that!

May I ask what is the reason of the RFE?

Yeah it sucks when we thought we'd done everything right!!! (Especially after following many guides and doing research over months, we did not go in blindly.)

 

But we don't know what the reason is yet! I was just checking yesterday and saw our case got the update of status, but we won't receive the RFE letter in the mail for a week or so, I believe. The wait for it is going to be hard but I'll be doing some research in the meantime to hopefully calm my worries!

I hope it’s an easy fix, maybe it was just a box that you forgot to mark or something like that!

It’s worth waiting! Everything will be okay! :)

 

I’m waiting for the NOA2 too and I’m really worried if everything will be okay - we did follow a really good guide, and added quite a lot of evidence and everything, but I’m overthinking that something might be missing. My fiancé’s mom is trying to calm me down and is saying that we did everything we could and there shouldn’t be an RFE 😄

Thank you, Turquoise, I do hope it will all be okay :)

 

Yeah we thought so too, it really does seem like these things happen and it depends on who you get on the day!! But I'm sure you'll get lucky and not get an RFE! I hope your approval comes soon! :)
