Tuesday 8/7 after 239 days and a RFE we received our approval. Thanks to all the posters who give insight and support to one of the most stressful journeys you can under take.  

It took us 17 days to get our case number...some are lucky and got it in 10 days. But it seems like at the moment 14-17 days waiting is norm. But you can start call g the nvc after 10 days and see if you are lucky and get it early. No other faster way to get the case number, another waiting game, just good news is it’s not 7-8 months waiting  😜

😀🤣😃🙃😊

Just got my email to check my status on the site..
We just got approved.....
RFE 6/26 and returned it 7/20
RFE asked for and was hard to get Certified Police documents about my past from 30 years ago and then some..😕
I was really scared that my past could of interfered with the approval, even if I passed the test in the criminal portion of the I-129
Some stupid past mistakes that anyone could of done for shits and giggles stuff..🤪
(I even added a few fresh new pictures of my last visit 2/17-2/24, 4 pictures of me proposing to Jesicca in front of her family at a special location just before I left for the airport)(along with copy of my airline itinerary and copy of passport's new stamps)
 
So now we are approved and its time to prepare for the next step..

Has this happened to anyone else, or with Every RFE, did everyone sign them..  I sent in my RFE and I did not sign mine.  They received my papers a week ago Friday, without any signatures on any of extra evidence needed.

Not sure if all RFE needs to be acknowledged and signed.   Mine read like this, and for the life of me, I have no clue how could I have miss it.   I hope you get approve but I will recommend re-sending the RFE if you made a copy with the signature before they take action on your case if you missed it like me.

I submitted a signed cover letter and I also had to get a notarized statement which I signed (basically an affidavit) since one of the charges was completely expunged and there is no record that can be found now (including no police report).  The RFE letter required the notarized statement in the event court documents were not available.  I was lucky enough to find the original expungement order to include in the response.  Here is what my cover letter looked like:
 
Dear Sir or Madam:
 
Enclosed please find the following supporting documentation for the two misdemeanor arrests I noted in the I-129F, Petition for K-1 Fiancé[e] on Page 9, Part Number 3, Item 4a and 4b:
