If you got an update on the new site it's highly likely the old site and the app will never show that update.

My RFE response was received on May 31st. The old website and app still say that the RFE was mailed, but the new one was updated to received. It's been two weeks and there hasn't been any additional noise on it. Maybe it somehow got turned into a silent update...

It seems to be completely random. Not sure what's going on with their systems. 
 
I got notice from the NVC yesterday (6/13/18) that my petition was approved and forwarded onto the consulate without ever getting an NOA-2. So I ended up having to go through a lot of trouble to get them to send me hard copy....apparently from what I was told...they forgot to send me one in the first place! The USCIS couldn't tell me the date I was approved, only that they had sent the approval notice to the NVC on 5/26/18. Assuming a few days before they sent it I'd say approval date was probably around 5/20/18 or so. It's now almost a whole month later and both the old and new websites still show that they have only received my case. 
 
Having said that, there's absolutely no rhyme or reason to how they update their systems. 
 
So to those of you from November who still haven't received anything, you could end up with the same experience I had. You may already be approved but you won't know until either USCIS or the NVC informs you. The sucky thing is that even if you contact USCIS they'll almost be guaranteed to give you the run around. And everyone is right, the standard operator (Tier 1) you get when you first call will be of absolutely no help as all they can see is the same thing you can. The only reason they transferred me to a higher up was because I had already received a notice from the NVC. And from what I've read on here the higher ups aren't that much more helpful. Like I said, I'm pretty sure the only reason he helped me was because the NVC had already given me notice that the USCIS had approved me and that baffled him. It's appalling how it takes that kind of evidence to get them to actually dig into a case deeper when it was their mistake in the first place. 
 
I did get scared for a second thinking maybe it was opened up a can of worms and they were going to tell me that somehow the NVC received an error on USCIS's part and I was not approved yet. 
 
Maybe they get thousands of inquiries a day, so much so, that they just just resort to giving everyone the standard "we'll get back to you line"

Well after 202 days and an RFE, we were FINALLY approved today June 11th!!! So the RFE once received, only took 5 or 6 days to approve so for all you waiting on your RFE's it won't be long so hang in there everyone!! Looks like the November filers are getting approved in waves now!!!! God bless everyone.

Hi Rackle10187, 
 
It took around 2-3 business days as soon as they have received it in the PO Box. I basically did an express shipping overnight and 2-3 days after it changed my status to received response. 
 
Took about 5-6 days when they approved it. 
 
Hope this helps. 

This gives me hope. We are getting our RFE letter today. 

Finally got an approval this morning!  
 
It was roughly 6 days (4 working days) to get an RFE received to Case Approved.
 
App and old site updated 
New site NOT updated
 
Text and Email updates received all within 15 minutes of app update. 
 
Wishing everybody’s approval coming very very soon! Keep up the positive vibes yall 👏🙌🏼

Finally after 210 days We are approved!!!!!!!!!! Got a letter in the mail. No updates on either website, no emails or text. 

Need to wait as they will not divulge what the RFE is referencing. Don't know if they just can't see the reasoning or they can't say. My bet is that the tier one agent can't see the RFE.
 
We see little stupid mistakes and sometimes we go through many who get one because they met through a dating site and they want to be sure it's not pay for marriage site. If you get an RFE for a dating site then send them the Terms of Service (TOS) from the website. Once they get that they approve and you keep moving on.

Just checked the new site and it said we got an RFE. Pretty bummed but at least they touched our case. No clue what it could be. We met 4 times in the past one year and had plenty of evidence. 😢 trying to stay positive. 

I am not certain, but pretty sure you have to wait for the mail. Should only take a few days. I know it's nerve-racking.

The positive side is RFEs usually turn into approvals as long as you can answer their question. Stay positive! 
 
Sometimes it's as simple as resubmitting something you already did. Feel free to post up what it is if you want advice, once you know! Good luck to you!

When i called yesterday i was told i had to wait a couple more days, but when she tried to submit it to give me the exact number of days to wait, the system let her submit the request. I was told to wait 15-30 days for a response
