    Hey all - August 9 NOA1 here. Just got a text notification. No change on new site (still says received), but old site indicates an RFE. Bummer since we hired an attorney and I was METICULOUS about our submission. Hopefully it's something minor... 

     

    Best of luck to all! I don't post a lot but I am on here constantly reading all your journeys and updates. It's been incredibly helpful having this community to lean on and guide us through this process.

    give it a day or 2 after rfe date before calling uscis...call and ask to speak to a tier 2 rep...and request for them to read it to you...don't take no for an answer...i got it on my 4th try...when you do call try calling end of day to give time for rfe to show up in system...best wishes...btw i got an rfe tuesday requesting letter of intent from fiancé...

    I received an email saying my NOA2 was approved!!!  

     

    NOA1:  old website Aug 10, new website Aug 15

    NOA2:  January 10

     

    The old website has the approval update but the new website still shows "received"

     

    I was expecting a RFE for my divorce decree.  There's another poster that received a RFE for his divorce decree because he didn't have a "pen to paper" signature.  We briefly chatted on VJ and realized we were divorced in the same city/state at the same courthouse.  My divorce decree had an electronic signature and when I called the courthouse they said that's the way the do it now.  I'm lucky and blessed I didn't receive a RFE for that.  

    congrats!

    Unfortunately, this is something I've seen with RapidVisa again and again and again... They are not lawyers, they are document filing service, they really have no "skin" in the game, and in most cases they don't have to worry about repeat business. I would love to see actual statistics of people getting RFE who used them vs the ones who didn't. 

     

    Very common RFEs I saw in my time on this forums (last 6 months or so) are

    • Prove online dating place you've met is not IMBRA. This also includes forgetting to check IMB checkbox on 129F
    • We need 2 letters of intentions, instead of one signed by 2 people.
    • Document is too blurry/not eligible
    • Divorce decree is not "final" form that they expect. 

    I assume you are filing for Ghana, you might try contacting for your future Packet 3 information. Unfortunately it seem US Embassy in Ghana official website is rather empty. Good luck, hope you hear something soon!

     

    just wanted to let you know...i found packet 3 for country i needed...thx.

    Your learning fast about RV. Unfortunately many use their services and they are the ones that pop up the most with errors expressed here on VJ. I don't know if you knew this or not but the letter of intent could have been emailed and printed and sent into USCIS. They do not require a "wet" signature.

     

    I like the checklist idea. Good way to double check your work and the work of others.

    how sure are you about not needing a "wet" signiture...i called and they said they want original on letter...i will call again tho...and do you or do you not have packet 3 for ghana @Greenbaum?...if you don't  want to assist because of yesterday that is fine. 

    i assumed you did because you replied about the you having packet 3s and i was the one needed it.

    It is fine that you did this way, but I can tell for sure you do not need to sent original life signed copy. My fiancee typed it out, printed it, signed it, scanned it and sent me an image which I printed here and included into package. I know others have done the same. I believe the only True signature they expect is petitioner's signature at the end of 129F form, anything else can be copies. They do typically want 2 letters of intents though, one from each of you, separately signed. SOME but not all people got away with sending just one signed by both. I don't know if it depends on the wording or what, seems like sending 2 is safest bet. 

     

    With regards to Kojo's RFE I see these main possibilities:

    • Kojo forgot to include into their package to RapidVisa, but they seem convinced this was not the case, so I think this is unlikely.
    • RapidVisa forgot to include it into their package to USCIS Lockbox
    • USCIS Lockbox misplaced it when they opened it. Somewhat unlikely in my opinion
    • USCIS adjudicating officer didn't like wording on it, or didn't notice the form, or it was too poor quality of a scan 

    Chances are we will never know for sure what happened, as it is unlikely RapidVisa will confirm or deny if they included letter of intent into package. Ultimately, very easy fix, and hopefully only small delay. Good as  they are actively looking at the case!

     

    i just called uscis...the signiture has to be original!...i rather do original and be safe than sorry...

    How did you find out what RFE was for so quickly? Also you should update your timeline with the RFE date. I do not think this will be 3 months delay btw. They do not sent RFEs more than once, it means basically this is the only thing they need to approve you. 

    i was happily informed by @manofdahour that i can call uscis and ask to speak to a tier 2 rep...and ask them to read my rfe to me...it wasnt easy...1st time i called it wasn't yet in system...next 2 times got turned away...reps said they couldnt read because it was a legal letter and i had to wait for mail...3rd time (i called end of day) and it was in system and it was read to me...i never ever take no for an answer when taking to reps/agents of any company...never...i always would call back after a no to get another agent/rep opinion about 2 to 3 times and 8 times out of 10 i always get a different answer lol...thats just me...but iv never on here heard about call uscis for a tier 2 rep concerning rfe...but glad i now know...maybe this could help others out...
