Today is day 130 since receive date for us...
On the bright side, I'm going to see my fiancé in 1 week! Although when I planned this trip several months ago I had hoped we would have NOA2 by this time, at least I will be able to de-stress a bit and spend some time with my fiancé. I haven't seen him in nearly 6 months, which is the longest we have been apart since becoming a couple. 
 
To everyone waiting for NOA2, case numbers, interview dates, ect, good luck and I hope we all get to be with our loved ones soon. 

I guess I can do just one more for old time's sake. But I don't have or use the same format of a script, so I'll try to keep the results simple and they may not exactly match her numbers at face value.

We got an RFE notice today... after 140 days. Better than not getting anything and not knowing if they are paying attention to our case.

So sorry, I realized afterwards that it was the December filer's thread. I'm new on the forum and I still have to figure out the website. Anyway, thank you for answering me and taking the time to help me. I really appreciate it!

My case was approved😭 omg I am so happy, I am in tears! 123 days of received date.  

Received my NVC letter in the mail today ! 
Good luck to everyone who's still awaiting approvals and NVC case numbers ! 

Hey, everyone! I'm just writing to wish everybody a really quick-moving week at whatever stage you're at with your visa! Here's to tons of successful NOA2s, case number recievings, medical appointments, interviews, and approvals for you and us all! We'll all be home with our loved ones soon!

Finally, after 122 days, we are approved!!! We are so happy!!!!!
Now, as the beneficiary, I should only worry about having all the vaccines required, the medical exam and the criminal record in hands, right? And my fiance, the affidavit of support, right? Am I missing something here? And finally the interview... I can't wait for it!

Hi everyone, I must have checked at least five times today. Then at the end of the day at 3:45pm Hawaii time I got a text message that said our case was updated but it didn't say to what status. I logged into the USCIS E-online website to see that our case was APPROVED!!! Malen and I are so happy!! After 122 days of waiting our dreams are coming true! Can I call the NVC tomorrow?? 😂 just kidding. No not really! Lol. We are so thankful for everyone's support and wish that you all get approved as soon as possible! 
God Bless, Jon & Malen

For everyone still waiting for NOA2, I hope we see a large number of approvals this week! 

Approved "almost".. 4/17  RFE sent, I am sure it has to be something easy to fix. Hopefully get it today or Saturday!
 
When we get the RFE needed,  I will post what it was... Help others in the process. 
BTW, It is kinda nice not checking here 50 times a day, checking the USCIS site 100  hahahahaha 
 
We will let everyone know, when we know..
 
Have a great weekend everyone!!!  Prayers to everyone to get through this!!!

Hi guys, at 9:47EST tonight we got approved finally. Thank you everyone for being such a great community. The giddy is real. 

I sent message to someone that was announcing friday they were approved and today they still had not updated timeline. i asked them to update so info on VJ is as correct as can be and they informed me they are getting errors since trying to update friday the 14th. and have tried several times.
So yes there seems to be something going on.

No offense, but you should feel awful.. Its a process, from the oldest to the newest.
 
IMO, your actually saying lets punish the people who have been here the longest trying to get passed too?     
 
I understand your waiting for your news... I just hope you don't have a RFE, or your denied and someone said the same thing you just did.  I pray, wish, hope, for all of us to succeed...  and yes those before us as well.  That way when it is my time, it is to be. 
 
Karma.... Do unto others... to many quotes I could use here... 
 
 

We're a day ahead of you guys. Crossing fingers and praying really hard that we'll all get our approval soon. I miss him so much already! 
 

In this instance, it's probably best to make it crystal-clear what they need to look for.  Compose a brief cover letter, and perhaps even put a yellow sticky-note on the decree, with a big arrow pointing to the appropriate verbiage.
 
Edited to add:  Remember that receiving an RFE is a golden opportunity to add more "evidence of bona fide relationship."  If you've accumulated any since you sent the petition, consider including it now -- placed behind the RFE materials, with a separator/cover page that says something like "USCIS -- please send this additional evidence to the consulate upon petition approval" in big letters.

Just checked the CEAC website and it finally changed from "In Transit" to "Ready"!!!!!!!  All that's left is for her to knock out the medical and the interview. And wouldn't you know it when I try to update my VJ time line I get some error asking if I'm supposed to be there and that my IP address has been logged.   I'll try again tomorrow good night all. 

I am happy to see many people here get their either RFE or approvals. congrats. hopefully I will hear a news soon too. I want to ask if anyone here registered a USCIS account and activated the email/phone notification. If so, did you get any notification at all? I am now kind of afraid to check the status 😯

As I understand: approvals are sent between 9 and 11 pm EST. RFEs are sent anytime.

The information you got is true for aos applications but not for i129f. All of them are adjudicated at the service center they were routed to. The uscis helpline is called the "misinformation line" here at vj, so... if you really want good info regarding your case you need to speak with a tier 2 officer

I have compiled the data from the 125 page original RFE Master List Post and put it into a google sheets doc. Please keep a few things in mind when viewing this list.
1. It is easiest to view this new list from a PC but if you want to view it from your mobile phone please make sure to have the Google Docs app downloaded to your phone. It will open the link in a much more easily viewed version for your cell phone.
2. If you posted in the original thread and do not see your name on the list that is due to a few things: Timeline was not fully updated, information regarding what your RFE was for was not provided, or how you answered your RFE was not clearly provided.
3. Date Approved on the document corresponds to when members received their NOA2 after responding to their RFE.
Notes moving forward.
1. I will continue to update this list with new data as it comes but to be added to the list and to continue making it helpful please make sure your timeline is updated with all the dates, you post exactly what your RFE was for, and exactly what you did to respond to your RFE.
2. If you have a question about your RFE please continue to post them in this new thread but make sure to actually view the document before asking what you should send. I did try and make what was requested and what was sent in short and simple to not make the document to large, so if you do not understand what I put please PM me with the LINE of the document you are unclear about and I will give you a more detailed answer. (I kept the long answer on a side document only for me to view if needed) ex. Line 61 says "Left various questions blank on form I-129F" what did they leave blank? I would answer your PM with They forgot to check the questions NO for convicted of crime related to IMBRA.
General FAQ's From the Thread Answered from Completing the Document.
1. What does RFE mean?
Request For Evidence- This is when USCIS needs more information in order to approve your petition.
2. How long does it take to receive my RFE hard copy?
According the data it is usually 1 to 2 weeks. If it takes longer, contact USCIS and put in a service request to have a new one sent.
3. How long after I respond to my RFE will I get an approval?
According to the data it is usually 2 weeks to get an approval. There are plenty of outliers that are shorter and longer but the average is two weeks.
4. What documents do I need to provide translations for in English?
All legal documents such as birth certificates, divorce decrees, legal name change documents, and if able it helps to translate hotel receipts but these are not required.
