FROM RFE TO NAO2..

[kits_24_faith 0]

Dear fellow VJERS..

I would like to ask for your help, especially those who have any backgrounds or info, or had gone through RFEs before. I would like to have an idea how long it really takes to get the NOA2 right after you get the update that the case has resumed due to receiving the RFE. I got the RFE letter in the mail August 13 and mailed it the same day express. USCIS received it on August 14, but I got the updated that the case has resumed on August 22, which means it took about a week before it got to the officer. So till now I am waiting for my NOA2 and I can't take it anymore. I don't want to wait any longer. Besides I still have to do more waiting once I get the NOA2, but this step is so unbearable. I don't want to call because it will just generate a touch and would be worthless. I want a LEGIT TOUCH. Thank you guys.

Hang in there... typically people who get RFEs get a speedy approval once they met the criteria the RFE requested!

I am hoping you get an approval soon

Hang in there... It sometimes takes 2-4 weeks after they resumed processing your case. Keep your hopes high and spirits up.

Here's to you!

I got a RFE myself on 8/22. I received the hardcopy on 8/27 (late in the day) and returned the requested information via overnight delivery on 8/28 so they've had it since 8/29. I called yesterday and spoke to the Indian lady who told me it takes 3 weeks for the RFE to reach to the officers desk and 2 additional weeks for them to make a decision. We all know that's not the truth. I'm not sure why they can't provide accurate and honest answers. I did not get a 'resumed' update to my case online. A VJ'r who used to be an adjudicator explained that RFE's are the first thing worked on in the morning, before they start working on new applications. And that RFE's get a pretty quick turnaround so I don't know what ups now. But with the holiday this week I don't think I should worry just yet. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks guys and nyblubird.. keep us updated.. I will keep waiting..I hope I'll get a good news before this week ends..

are you stuck in background checks, if so how do you know?

[nyblubird 0]

They do a basic background check on the USC for each application at this point and additional checks are done (I think on both) when it gets to NVC.

They just wanted more evidence that I traveld to Africa, I only sent my itinerary with my application. I sent my passport stamps and boarding passes as they suggested were examples of what would be sufficient.

I'm not an advocate of calling a lot but since it's been 3 weeks for you Kit I would call if you haven't already. I don't know if what they wanted from you was as basic as my RFE or not but you have the right to know, although they don't seem to think so at USCIS.

I got an RFE and after I responded my approval was rather quick. I think your RFE is a sign that your case is being worked on and you should gather the required documents ASAP and mail it back quickly.

Well that's because you are from cuba or petitioning someone from cuba.. if you do a search there's a thread that talks about this issue that uscis prioritize cubans.. nothing against you but that's just how they do things.. maybe something political. you're a july filer and in august got your NOA2.. while others wait 4 or more months.. or eternity..

Kits_24_Faith,

We got an RFE on 8/22 and received an email from CRIS on Sat. that our case was resumed on Friday 9/7. We received an email today that we were approved yesterday - 9/10. I don't know what additional information they requested from you but you may want to give them a call, you may already be approved.
