@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. 

(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. 

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

@Ola&Adunni Well, I know some individuals have received their NOA2, but I mean technically we are still well within the processing times. The way it was mentioned to me was where you see like the two dates that are given on the USCIS website (as of right now 5 to 7 months).  USCIS calculates the processing time range based on the previous month’s completions, with the low end reflecting the time needed to complete 50 percent of cases and the high end showing the time it took to complete 93 percent of cases. 
 
If you noticed when I first submitted the I-129-F and you did, somewhere around March the processing times was much higher at around 6-8 months. However, it has been rapidly going down, which is expected around this time of year. There's such a spike of applications after the summer time romance in the air lol, probably because this is the time most people have an opportunity to travel. I figure right after the holidays most of us are broke or did not travel around this time, so there are less applications being submitted. Anyway, that's just my speculation.
 
Such a long answer just to say, Man, I'm there with you and I can't wait to get my NOA 2 as well, but might be a tad bit early to ask the lord to save us already lol.
 
(Disclaimer: As a Christian, actually it is never to early to ask the lord to save us lol.)

Hi All,
 
Alight, so I decided to post on here to contribute because I too check this site everyday. I have a NOA date March 15th and the estimate for the NOA 2 is "Any Day Now". I too am being highly optimistic that we may hear something this week and feel that hope is important in a process where we have no one to check-in with other than this community. It seems to have slowed down in the past week, BUT I am optimistic y'all, lets hope for some BIG action this week!

We got our NOA2!! They updated the old site today and said we got approved June 5th! Still waiting for the letter. This was so much quicker than I had expected! 
 
NOA1- March 19th 
NOA2- June 5th 
 
My fiance and I had our son last month, he’s 4 weeks old today and this is just the biggest blessing on top of that!! Just waiting to get our sons US passport so that I can return to Cambodia to be with my fiance. He hasn’t met our son yet and this just makes returning to Cambodia even more exciting!
 
Good luck to everyone! 

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.
