Yeah, I didn't notice that with ours but I know a lot of people have posted about that on here. Most people think they are receiving two RFE's but it tends to just the one.

Strange, thanks for the info guys! hmm I wonder when they actually mailed it out the 19th or today. Ugh i hate waiting.

I hope its something small like that.. I just dont get why the date changed??

where did your reveive ur noa1 and what service center are you in???

Where did i recieve my no1? I recieved it aug 13 2012. My RFE was feb 19 2013. I live in PA vermont is my service center.

I just checked my case status again. First on 2/19/13 they said they mailed out the RFE. NOW 2/21/13 it says this:

On February 21, 2013, we mailed a notice requesting initial evidence in this case. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the evidence requested. Meanwhile, processing of this case is on hold until we either receive the evidence or the opportunity to submit it expires. Once you submit the evidence requested and a decision is made, you will be notified by mail. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

Does that mean the rfe is about more evidence? I thought they dont tell you what it is until you get the letter in the mail. Oh man...

IF it is evidence. Over the last 6 months i have met with her 2 times, once in cancun and once in brazil. I do have passport stamps, boarding tickets from both flights including hers and many more pictures. ALso i have been saving facebook and emails. Would you think thats good as both primary and secondary?

I recently got an RFE and am still waiting for the letter. I just checked my package the 2nd copy i made exactly like the original for my records. Theres 2 things that may be why i was sent an RFE. What do you think? I learned about primary and secondary evidence. Looks like i have no primary Evidence. This is basically what i sent for evidence.

1. 20 photos of us but did no write our names or dates on the back. Honestly i dont know the exact dates of these photos?

2. Facebook and emails 1 page

3. Engagement ring receipt

4 Orbitz travel info receipt

Im thinking maybe that wasnt enough evidence? Also i noticed we both did sign our names on the forms BUT she only signed her first and ONE of her last names.. Example Mary bravo smith. She signed mary smith.

I hope i get this letter soon!

No1 was aug 13th 2012.. TOday i just recieved a RFE! ;[ But good news is there working in aug.

This makes 2 of us! I was all happy to see a change but not this change! Hope the best for us and hopefully soon we will get approved.

i know... im just so bummed 6 months of waiting now a delay. when i get the letter i will post what it says. ;/ now the nest couples weeks are going to be so slow until i get the letter!! lol

Im trying to think of possibilites.. I did not send orginal birth certificate i send a copy of front a back though.. On the 20 pics i had i did not write our names on the back.. I did not send my passport because i am a us citizen and had birth certificate. Thats all I can think of..

I just got the rfe 2/19/2013 ... My no1 was aug 13 2012...

Im freaking out. I just checked the site and said I got a RFE. Im scared im not going to be approved now. I dont understand i followed everything on this site for my 129f. Both are 25 shes been here for 2 years and no criminal background nothing!!! What does this mean. Could i forgotting something? A paper something so small!? How long does this usualy set us back? WHen will I be mailed the reason? What do i do now besides wait and am upset. Thanks

I dont get it, people in aug are getting approved though ? haha Im augest hurry up!

My fiance and I were at the embassy in Rio a few weeks ago. Everyone was nice and polite and the interview went very smoothly. She should be fine. I know in Brazil they have a lot of requirements they have to fulfill in order to get any type of visa so I would think her denial of a student visa wouldn't be a big deal now.

Thanks for the info! That makes me feel alittle bit better ;]

did they give her a letter as to why she was denied or did they tell her why,

I do not remember exactly what it said, but it was a common denile letter they sent her. I think it was something along the lines of they did not beileve it was her true intent to come back to America. Part of me beileves she litterly was here for 2 years went home and within a months time tried to come back to America. I think thats the reason. So we made our decison to get married and file for the 129F. I guess they were kind of right because really she wanted to come back for me and go to school as well. haha

I filed my 129-f in august so i am patiently waiting and its not easy! My girl was an au pair in america for about 2 years. Thats how we met and so happend to be christmas night at a local restaurunt! Also she lived in my same neighborehood ! Now shes 1000's of miles away ;[. SO im still waiting for my no2 which i hope i should get by february. she is going to be going to the embassy in rio, has anyone been there? Lastly when her au pair visa expired she went back to brazil to file for a student visa but was DENIED. She had alll her paperwork and everything, not sure why. Will this denile effect that we are giong for a 129f? Thanks guys i just hope everything goes smoothly because im loosing my hair. haha

By being EXTREMELY patient and learning to accept that there's not much we can do about it but wait, and to try and keep telling ourselves (and our loved ones) that it will eventually all be worth the wait.

I agree though, that the unnecessarily long process sucks balls.

as korny as it sounds, its a good test for how strong your love is and if you can get through this time, you should be able to get through anything with each other.. SOOO i just got home from work and i recieved in the mail what i believe is my first NOA! now what??

Thankyou for the replys, So IF its taking about 6 months before they even look at it, does that mean it will be about another 6 months before its approved? How does everyone cope with being seperated from there loved ones? SHe is back in brazil since June 25, 2012. This is very sad process and i dont understand why it takes so long.

I am a newb to all of this so im sorry if this is explained already. I just recieved an email saying they recieved my case and gave me a EAC number along with a notice they will be mailing me that i-797 form. What does all this mean? Ifi check my status on there website and punch in the EAC number, it says something about under review? thanks guys! at this point how long does it take about? whats the next step? Is this a noa notice?

thanks guys, I am alitte confused about what you mean about the timeline? On this site or the gov site? Also i sent the package to the dallas po box address was that correct? If the vermont location is backed up, do you think they will send mine to the CA location? thanks!

Hello everyone, sorry if this is in the wrong spot but i am brand new to this site. Today i finally finished putting together the k1 visa package and i followed the guide on this website so i hope i have everything. I am in the USA and my fiance is in Brazil. When do you think I will receive notification that it was approved or not? I am stressing so much because her student visa was denied but we are both eligible and meet all requirements to marry. Do you think we will be okay? anything else i need to know now or next step? thank you!

thanks guys!

Hello everyone, I am new to this site and am on this crazy journey of love to get my Brazilian finance back to the us. I am following the k1 guide and have a question. I just received her G-325 in the mail today and noticed how she signed the forms if it will be a problem. SHe is brazilian like i said and she has two last names. EX. mary jane smith. She signed her name mary smith. will that create a problem since she did not sign her other last name? Thankyou!!
