Thanks! I'm hoping it'll arrive before I leave to visit my fiance Friday. But if not, I have arranged to have a friend be on standby in case I see it hit the USPS informed delivery email 🙂 If I need something from Alex, I'd rather get it while I'm with him than having to deal with him mailing it back to me after I leave. On the flip side, I likely won't be able to respond till I get back delaying it further. 😒Oh well, will enjoy my time with him then deal with it afterward. At least we know there's progress and potentially an end in sight!

It's official. Case just updated with a RFE. 😢

I wish. That's what the drama with my earlier posts were about. Teir1 told me RFE and to call tomorrow to talk to Tier2 to see what it was. When I call and talked to the second tier1, they said I was misinformed and no one could tell me what the RFE is but they transferred me to tier2 anyway. Tier2 re-enforced that they there was no way to know what the RFE is until I received the hard copy despite my circumstances. But then she said no RFE had been sent. I called again later in the day and the tier1 agent said the case was still in process, no status change no RFE. So I had hoped the first tier1 support agent just lied to me or was looking at the wrong thing. Then we got the RFE notification today. 😞

We got a RFE. Don't know why yet. I explained I was leaving Friday to visit my fiance and would like to know in case I need to get something from him. She said that she couldn't tell me but call back tomorrow morning and ask for tier 2, explain the circumstance, and they would he able to tell me. Not sure why I had to call back tomorrow morning. Maybe tier 2 is already closed. 
 
I had a feeling about this due to not including terms of service for the dating app we met through, which I didn't read we should have  included till it was too late. Hoping that's it. 
 
Trying to stay positive that at least we're moving forward instead of just waiting! Generally how long is the turn around for RFEs? Does anyone know if I'll be required to wait for the hard copy before I can process, meaning after I get back from El Salvador, or if based on the information they give me tomorrow, I can deal with it? Of course I'll ask the agent but just curious. 

Hello everyone!
We sent the petition March 19, 2018 and received the NOA1 electronically 2 days after. We received it by mail April 3. We’re waiting for the NOA2 hopefully by the end of this month or first week of October. I’ve seen Marchies who received NOA2 already  so I’m hoping and praying we’re next on the list. We can do this!!! I hope everyone gets approved!

The tier 1 I got today said that the rep I spoke to yesterday misinformed me that no one, not even tier 2 know what the RFE is. How annoying! He wasn’t going to transfer me to tier 2 but I asked to be transferred anyway since I’m now getting conflicting information from two tier 1 reps.
 
But get this - I spoke to tier 2 and they said the first was correct that they could not determine what the RFE is however I did NOT have a RFE yet. #######, I’m both aggravated and excited and nervous it means one is coming and just going to extend the wait even longer.

I hope everyone gets the message they want really soon, hold on Marchers. Your time is coming ❤️

Hi all — We have followed this thread for a few months but have never posted. Very surprised when we checked on our case status today.
 
NOA1 “Old” site: 03/23
NOA1 “New” site: 03/28

Definitely worth the upfront effort we invested into the application + supporting evidence. Now off to figure out how to navigate the next steps... 
 

Oh okay...thanks for the info.
