    D&B got a reaction from Star_Maple in January 2018 I-129F Filers, Part II   
    I wish there were some very clear instructions on what USCIS exactly requires with an RFE but here's what I would do if this were my RFE. I would definitely sign right beside where you check the answer no, and me being me, would also send it in with a cover letter indicating the missing information has been provided and detailing the missing information in the cover letter. For example, "as per your request, we have completed the missing question on page #, part #, item #, and wish to confirm that "name" has never been married." I know this may be overkill but just letting you know how I would handle this....

    Without a doubt crazy. The information we look for on our online accounts is far too important for there to be glitches that may or may not give us accurate information. People who are relying only on their online account information may or may not be receiving accurate data. It's a toss of the coin whether you are getting the right information or not. Thank God I have my NOA2 in hand or I'd still be doubting if I actually had an approval.
     
    But remember after the NOA2 all those still waiting may play a little catch up in the process as I understand from information posted on visa journey that NVC only sends batches to the consulates. The next batch is apparently September 4 and it is probably unlikely mine will be received and sent in that batch. So mine most likely won't get sent until the September 18th batch. Which means many of you just a couple of weeks behind me will play catch up and we'll be sent to our embassies at the same time. Hope that makes sense and puts a little glimmer of sunshine into this excruciating wait.

    Just wanted to let you all know that even though I received my hard copy of the NOA2 dated August 20, my fiancé received an email and text message from USCIS this morning advising they are still reviewing our case. It seems very apparent USCIS is having major difficulties with the accuracy of their data in their computer system.
     
    For those still waiting, I hope and pray things will move forward......and NOW not SOON......

    Someone posted the link below on the August 2018 NOA2 - NVC thread and I filled it out this morning and sent it off. Check out that thread as it's very helpful and gives you an idea how long the average applicant waits. Hoping I can stay in the "average time frame" for the next steps as opposed to those waiting longer...(I'm not sure how to link to that thread...sorry)

    And CONGRATULATIONS - after 226 days USCIS should include a huge gift basket with the NOA2!

    Good luck to you as well and everyone still waiting which I know seems like an eternity. Just for everyone's info, I have yet to see an update on the new website indicating an approval. Want me to throw a monkey wrench into everyone's "they no longer use the old site?" Logged into the old site just for old times sake....Here's the case history update on that site:
     
    "On August 20, 2018, your inquiry about a notice that you did not receive, referral number ################, was assigned to an officer for response."
     
    Yet, nothing on the new site.....
     
    Just wanted to share as although everyone says they don't update the old site anymore, they sure do.......so my advice is check the old site too.

    My fiancé called USCIS a few times today as he wanted to speak with a Supervisor but each time he was told due to the high volume of calls Tier 2 was not taking any calls and to call back later. Just a few minutes ago he tried again, with the same response, BUT Tier 1 advised we were APPROVED just this afternoon!!!!! I actually had him call back again and ask another Tier 1 if we were approved because I needed confirmation after so long of a wait. There was a light at the end of the tunnel after all.....just didn't know how long that tunnel was going to be and for me that was the hardest part of this part of the journey.

    I'm divorced and still waiting. It's so hard to try and make sense of all of this. This process is already so difficult when you start out and realize you may have to wait for 5 to 7 months, but we hang on, counting the days, trying to live our lives as best as possible but always watching the clock, waiting for the day when we can finally really start our lives with the person we love. But the 7 month window passes by and there is so much disappointment. All the hope that you will have an NOA2 in your hand by 7 months Is gone. Now there is no time frame - no website that tells us your application will be process in....NOTHING. Some of us call USCIS and speak to various people and seem to get different responses every time which only adds to our turmoil. My fiancé called yesterday and put in an "outside of normal processing" inquiry.....supposed to get a response to the inquiry in 9 to 20 days. Doesn't mean an approval, just means someone will most likely tell us "your application is still under review" within 9 to 20 days. This may not seem like an encouraging post, but sometimes just letting other people know you understand exactly how they're feeling makes us all realize we are not alone. I hope and pray that many of us who feel like the "forgotten" will start to see approvals, and that the K1 process timeline starts to decrease for all filers as people really shouldn't have to be exposed to this kind of angst in their life just to be with a loved one.
