Dude I told u this a few times now. They don't always update the sites. New site still shows my case received February 7th.

old site up dated to rfe received. Never changed to approved or anything else.

uscis does what they want when they want.

 

as u can see first hand, uscis does little as possible...

 

fyi..... uscis and nvc won't be open Monday as it's a holiday... no since in calling and being told office is closed..

 

good luck👍🏻

yes I realize... thanks

Atleast you know now they received it. But I’m still hoping they will update the site. That’ll will give you a bit sigh of relief if they will.

yes I think it's just more frustrating that they hacven't updated the site.  it's almost like I could see them saying

"Ooops sorry we lost it can you send it in again".

That’s strange not being able to be notified if they received your rfe or not. Usually as soon as it reached their office, before the day ends you will be getting an update right away.. 🙁🙁🙁

Happy For you.. a little movement atleast...😊😊

Even when we got our RFE I didn't get a notice in my email nor does our online account show anything otehr than they received our original application last year... March 1.  
I realize they are inundated with applicatoins and calls and stuff but I know for a fact our application had everything including the divorce certificate they requested in the RFE which if I was able to talk with a "REAL PERSON" I could've revied each page by page and said it's rright there page 31 or 32 what ever it is in my packet.  Regardless I had my fiance go to ehr city hall in Tokyo and get a new updated copy, paid for it to expedited translation and then overnighted this in the original envelope to the Cali Service Center.  When I called a few days later they told me they see yes it has been received.   I asked if they will update the website with this and they told me thats up to the examiner.  It's not a requirement but a courtesy.  

Being here in Japan for 2 weeks I feel helpless and now I can't wait to get home... I have contacts from high school and close family friends that I'm ready to reach out to to ask for their help.

I envy you all so much....

Now its my turn to sit and wait.

A. All websites -old and new OUR ACCOUNT IS NOT updated and very frustrating.

It makes me wonder if they have seen my rants here and punishing me for it.

B.  I'm in japan for 2 weeks with my fiance...i check the sites daily several times a day and see nothing and i would love to call them and kick some butt but i can't.

Hopefully when i get home i have a letter waiting for me.

I run my own business and always try to respond to all my clients as soon as possible... and what I pay back in taxes for a small business is insane. I called last Monday spoke with someone with uscis. She put in a inquire on my case since it’s out of processing time. They said to expect to hear something no later then the 16th of this month. Who knows they could just say they’re still working on the case. Not much I can do. 

I hear you... I actually fired my old business partner for not carrying his weight,  these workers are truly the worst and I think their bosses are prob no better.

I’m still here.. day 226 no RFE or anything. 

I'm so sorry.... this really sucks... and from a businness point of view... I would never let my workers not get these cases off there desks...OMG.. when I was a loan rep... my mgr would go through my cases weekly with me and I better have good reason and go through each case with whats holding it up.   These Gov't workers are the worst and I wouldn't have a problem telling them to there face either.  This is what a (VERY SMALL portion) of our tax dollars pay for... I'd rather give it to the homeless.

Thanks. I am working really hard to just let this all go. It’s all out of my hands and all so negative and so I just need to move on from expecting it will happen. It’s just so hard to do that in reality. Every day I wake up for the past two months I think about what it would be like to find out today, to call my fiancé and tell him, to feel so relieved. And then every day is met with such total disappointment. And then all over again the next day. I’m not doing it on purpose. I can’t help but just keep hoping. But I need to let go of the hope because it just only brings disappointment. At least now I know after this call that it doesn’t sound likely it’s going to happen anytime soon. And since I’ll be away it doesn’t matter anyway. I’m sooooo jealous of all of these people who called USCIS and magically just turned out they were approved. Seriously must just be so nice. I literally dream of that happening. But it won’t for me I guess. I will see my fiancé in about 40 hours and instead of a happy weekend together again it will be just more of the same. Can’t plan. Can’t do anything except just sit and be stressed about the future. Hopefully I can come back here again in the future with some good news. I’m guessing everyone will be gone from this group by that point  

I can tell you at this point i will most likely be here with you... or maybe you're moved on and I'm here still.... h,mmmmmm

So we rang the USCIS to ask them for our hard copy for the RFE we got 15 days ago, and all they said that they had already sent the letter on the mentioned date and all we can do is wait for it in the mail, if we don’t get it by 10/19 then we can use their site to access it online. 😔

I would like to say good luck with that as I have yet to receive any update online as of yet.  My online account only shows the original date they  (USCIS) receieved our application but we did get the RFE request over a week ago but nothing online shows any other update except form almost a year ago,

But I have the best of wishes for you.

USCIS process millions of visa's a year. You are but one. Cut them slack. I don't always agree with their timetable but it is what it is and you or I am not going to change it. Relax, take a deep breath you'll hear something in about 2-3 weeks. That's what has been normal lately. Once the review your RFE and if they are satisfied then your case is approved. So in less than 30 days, you should get your approval. 

Thanks Greenbaum.  yes I understand what you are saying about cutting them slack... it's just the waiting game that I, we all hate so mich... after waITING 8 months.. and now to wait more without being able to call and follow up with a person to say it's right there what else do you want/ need.

I'm in finance and can always call an underwiter to get things moving along and to not be in control kills me but I hear you.

Taking a long slow breath......

This is an old site. Create an account on the new site and check both sites every now and then. It’ll be more convenient for you if you will just download a case tracker/uscis app.

I apologize for not being more optimistic... as I just created an account on the new site as well as created an account on the app tracker and I have no visible updates to my application showing since we 1st sent it in and it was received on March 1.  Meanwhile I got out RFE a week ago but online shows nada....so frustrating... sent in my RFE overnight mail expedited delivery...because it was something stupid and so simple and nothing online no updates on either webiste... old or new....

Believe me.. jason paid only 6$ For our rfe response to be sent..😂😂😂

I paid around $58.00 and it got there 2 days later... but yes also tracking showed received at 10am... but no updates further.

I just found out that my Aunt and Uncles best friend... I know them... there son works for imigration but I doubt he can help and I don't think it works like that... besieds then I would owe a favor for life and I don't want to owe or ask for any favors... I just want our gov't to do there job and not hire idiots that take for ever doing something that can be completed very easily.

tel:1-800-375-5283

 

they should be able to tell him if they have received the rfe. Pending does not answer if they received rfe or not. 

If sent overnight it should of been certified. Check and see if that's the case or not. If so it should of been tracked and u can check usps site for update.

I overnighted my RFE a week ago...it was delivered on Friday but no updates, not even an update regarding the rfe letter on the USCIS website. When i called USCIS they told me,  we dont have to update you...it's not a requirement.

Uggghhhhhh.

I could go off but what's the point anymore?

Hey! Feb filer from Japan (I'm a Japanese beneficiary). Day 225 and we haven't heard anything - it's crazy. We called and emailed USCIS when we reached 7 months, and got an email back from them this week that they are now reviewing our case (I don't know what that means tbh). I'm upset that there's nothing we can do at this point. 

hey Jen_1987... I'm here for you... heading to Japan this Tuesday for 12 days... arriving at Haneda Wed afternoon ....Hope you guys hear soon... I will prob get something while I'm away.

Has anyone else had their RFE Faxed? If so, was the petition included in the FAX? I received the FAX today which asked about my divorce decree but also indicated there was an omission for one of the boxes, indicated in the "attached petition". I called Tier 2 back and they could only pull up the letter but no petition to tell me what the boxes were. Just wondering if they forgot that part or if the petition part is just not part of the FAX?

How'd you get a phone numebr for Tier 2... I call the USCIS # and always seem to get some sweet southern bell sounding girl/ woman but ZI get nothing but a canned answer.. "we willr eply within the 60 days." blahblah blah

2 minutes ago, Lucy&Jason said:

I assume USCIS already received your RFE response... before this day ends(most of the time), you will already be notified.. 

I have no notification they recieved it... and the tracking from USPS sucks doesn't show delivered either... also USCIS has not updated my profile to show anything.  

My fiance is very upset... and rightfully so... Japan is so much more organized than our govt.

This made me cry. The big tears. I am so done today. There are so many boats sailing so far away from me and mine is just sidelined in a place of total loneliness. I clearly was not cut out for this. 

Americamimlove... know that I am your neighbor here in Philly and we have each other as a rock to lean on locally while we wait for our turn.

So today is 21 days since they received my RFE. I was sure I would hear last Thursday. Positive I would hear Monday. Hopeful Tuesday was the day. Hope lost Wednesday. Today I officially give up. Hope is absolutely gone at this point. I’ve stopped checking the sites for a few days because what’s even the point? I guess maybe I’ll get the approval someday in the mail or I just won’t.   I guess this is my relationship now?? Just total loss of hope and no joy. It’s kind of amazing that the government can ruin a good love. Amazing that they could need more than three weeks to check a box. I’m just completely deflated today. And basically just talking to myself here because no one is even left here lol

 

Question if anyone is still reading this lol—does anyone know how many VJ filers were from February? I’m sure many don’t update their profiles when the are approved but would love to know how many here were along with me in filing in February in the first place.  

February Filer.... sent in my fiance's Divorce Certificate... meanwhile they don't see it.... I would love to over page by page with someone there on the phone and just hear them say.... ohhhh yeah there it is... sorry my bad... M"Fer.

Meanwhile the Direct or USCIS Kathy A Baran is easily found on FB and I would love to call ehr and ask what kind of office she runs... it's hopeless whats the poitn... Government employees... figures they have a bad reputation... they earned it.

Tbh I'm really past the point of caring. It's gunna happen when it happens. Yeah it pisses me off seeing people get approved within 10 days of sending there rfe back. Also, sent them in after myself with a few others that r in same boat 🚣. 

Glad to see others get there approval. Wondering when our adjuster is going to finally have a look at them and go. Ouch *%#+, these been sitting here for 3 weeks now. Best got on this...🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

I've been a worker bee, salesmanager worker bee and an owner... and now back to being a worker bee and I love what I do but I hate letting anything sit and not follow it through till the end... as an owner i had a business partne... i almost fired him for sitting on paperwork that kept us from closing a deal and getting paid... whether it's a big deal or small I do them all and get them done as soon as possible.

This wait is kiling me...my friends and family keep asking me why and I elt them knwo gov't employees don't work fast.. why not?... because thye don't have too.... uggghhhh

For everyone else on here? It seems about 10 days. I'm on day 20 and nothing. The average from here seems to be 14-60 days I guess. The old site updated for me when they received my RFE, so at least I know they received it. I would check both sites in the next day to see if they update that it's received.

I see nothing on the site saying they even sent me the RFE.

whats the old site URL

I just go to USCIS.GOV and see nothing when I log in

If sent certified next day should have notice today or tomorrow. If sent standard mail should have notice within 5 to 7 days.

@americaninlove answered the rest correctly.

I just tracked it...
