Once you get your RFE, read over very carefully as you only have one chance to reply accurately without causing undue harm. Once you know what it is set out to correct and to include "everything" they are asking for. Then reread the RFE to ensure you are compliant. Make copies of everything for your record and send back using their instructions which are contained within the RFE. If the RFE requires a signature, PLEASE don't forget this. Include the original RFE letter along with a cover letter explaining what are including in yiur reply. Like a checklist format. Once received at USCIS your case will begin adjudication where the agent had left off. No one can tell you how long it will take so be patient.
 

It's probably a quick fix.....hopefully, it will only delay your case a few days, if at all....good luck.

As far as I know, all the I129F forms go to California. I assume you have a NOA1 and a case number, right? If your case number starts with WAC it means it went to California. IF they transfer it to some other service center, you'll get a notification. When you send your petition, yes it goes to Texas, but then all the applications for K1 go to California. It doesn't mean it was transferred, it just means they received your case and started working on it (by giving you a case number). Try to breathe, you'll get news sooon!

They'll send it in do time. More  is needed.
You can use any envelope you desire. There is no requirement.
 
So many questions. I recommend that you seek out the RFE group from the front index page and begin your research. You'll be in a better place if you do.

Sure, we just got the notification on the old site, so it's gonna be a few days until we get it in the mail. But there's no reason to be scared... it's better to get a RFE than to get nothing. It means they saw our case  

@Rita Rocha From me experience RFE's always have this line in them that state something like include this letter with your submission. My questions I guess would be if you can't get a hold of the letter how will you know what the RFE is asking for? Usually, my format is something like a cover letter, then the RFE letter they send, and then the evidence requested. A good practice is to  make copies of everything sent. I do it to cover my ground and so I can have evidence of what was submitted. Then we deliver it USPS in those 7.65 dollar flat rate envelopes, which give you tracking numbers, so you can make sure it was delivered before their deadline. 

He can submit from anywhere. You'll have to follow the instructions from the RFE.

We just got a notification for a RFE. At least now we know they touched our case... 😕

(C) I always kind of viewed RFE's that way. Just make sure to address every issue that they touch on. At my job I'm in charge of what they consider complex RFE's that usually come from gathering criminal reports, or proving hardship on the waivers that then need to go through consular processing. Just cover everything, be concise, and be organized. This has never failed me and sometimes I was scared about denials, because sometimes it would involve very late registered birth certificates (they really have issues with that), Adam Walsh Act cases, etc...
 
However, usually when you answer the RFE you will get a pretty fast response, because you are right they have it on their desk already and reviewing it. Unless, it is a complex issue they will literally just be like it will take some time and hand it over to a supervisor and thats when it can lag, but I think you will be good, but yeah if you can share what they ask for I'm sure people in this community will be able to help you and give suggestions. 

Here on VJ they have created a spreadsheet where couples have added their RFE information and it makes for a good primer while you are waiting for your RFE.

The original is the copy you receive in the mail. Read it carefully and answer with what they are asking for. You don't have to do anymore then what is outlined within the RFE. Sign the RFE and make copies of everything you'll put in the return envelope. These copies will remain yours. Seal the envelope and return to the address that is specified in the RFE. Be sure to send it back so that you can trace it. Be sure your response is returned in the allotted time contained within the RFE.

I watch this thread everyday, hoping that I see you guys approvals.
 
Sending positivity and prayers your way.  
 
If anyone wants to vent at 5am and is wondering if anyone is reading their post...I probably am. Lol.  

We got our NOA-2 today on the old website!!! NOA-1 was March 4th. 

Hey, it seems like it's being a hard couple weeks for brazilians fiance(es), uh? I'm praying we all get our notifications soon. Even if it's a RFE, it's still a sign they've touched our processes... About calling, this is what I read on my VJ timeline: If this date range has passed or your application is past due per USCIS processing times then you should consider calling the USCIS to inquire on your petition. If you have been approved please update your timeline.  As @TandClaudia said, I don't think it would hurt to call. My fiance called them this week, we are within the date range showed on VJ but I had an anxiety crisis and he thought it would be helpful to call -- it wasn't, they said the same thing it's on the old site. But maybe you'll have more lucky. Also, the current processing times posted here (https://www.visajourney.com/content/times/) says California Service Center is working on petitions with 3/2 NOA1 date. So our time is coming! Fingers crossed for you and your fiance!  :))) 

Not gonna lie, it's a little bit disheartening to see that others with even later NOA1's already have their approvals... perhaps we just sent in too much info or a RFE is on it's way,  either way I'm officially not checking anything until July. Hopefully something comes via snail mail in the time. 
 
The important thing is to not lose patience and just keep hopes as high as possible 💪!

This message for people who like me just checking this chat to see if something new here and see nothing 🙄
 
So I'm not informative but a new message 👋😅

I know how you feel! Ours was from March 4th and we are impatiently waiting. My fiancé is from Brazil too

Don't want to make you feel bad, but my NOA1 is 03/08 and we haven't heard anything from the USCIS yet. Fiancé even called today and they said the same thing that's on the Case Status page. (vent) I know how everybody says "don't get anxious, let it happen etc" but the anxiety is eating me alive with people with the NOA1 after mine getting their NOA2s. (/vent ended). ANYHOW, I hope you get yours soon!

Praying for a busy day full of approvals for all of the March filers!

After everyone's responses about no updates by any electrical means, the highlight of my day now includes getting off work to check my mailbox. However, the worst part of day follows a minute later when I see nothing waiting for me besides a stack of bills lol.

I totally understand & know how you feel, and I think everyone who is still waiting for their NOA2 will do too. I tell myself everyday to chill and patiently wait but some days are harder . I truly hope all of us March filers will get our NOA2 soon!!!!
