Where did you see this

They do not work on a first come first out basis. Your IO is working on files and will return to you once he/she fits you in. It's just a part of the process. You're not the only one who has experienced this. Please remember to have patience as that is the only thing that will get you through this. Your embassy is not processing visas at this time but by the time that you get your NOA2 and case number they will have started the processing of visas, we hope.

 

Teaching moment: When you reply to someone's post put your reply outside the quote box so others will see and read your reply. Thank you for erasing the chart from the quoted box. 

Do you know of they are processing cr1?

Update time, March filer friends!

 

Things are slowing now for March, but there is still progress as April makes faster and faster headway.

 

As you can see, RFEs are starting to decrease, and there were almost 80 March approvals this week. That's almost 2,500 K-1s approved, at NOA2, that were filed in March.

 

Good luck if you're still waiting. Chase the USCIS if you haven't heard, ask questions about your RFEs if you're unsure. Stay safe and keep positive.

This makes me so sad because I’m still waiting on them to check my rfe and they completely skipped over me and started processing April filers 

What is the time frame for them to make a decision after they received my rfe response? So far it’s been 15 days

It has been 9 days today and I don't have my RFE in the mail yet  .

Why is it taking that long? Do they not send it out right away because I know the mail is being delivered normally 

@LoveJonLovell have you heard anything about your RFE? 

14 minutes ago, Greenbaum said:

Technically speaking, an RFE is a written request for more information and documentation that USCIS mails out if they believe that they don’t yet have enough evidence to approve or deny a given application. An RFE normally is a minor item and should not be looked at like it's a denial but an opportunity for you to complete your application. USCIS would not send out an RFE if they were going to deny your application. It's just a step that they must take and once they have your information and it meets their approval then you should be seeing your NOA2.

There are many varying degrees of RFE's. Some as simple as not "ticking" off a question. Others forgot the fiancé(e) letter and then others who met on a website and now need to prove that it wasn't a marriage arrangement website.

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 FROM THE RFE 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 you are including in your 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.

Thank you that was helpful 

How long did it take to get the rfe letter in the mail? Also can I see it online on what it is that they are asking for?

LOL I got the exact same response, posted it here, and you replied to it. 

Lol sorry. I don’t remember how long ago that was and to scroll up there are a lot of posts. Did you anything afterwards? 

Thank you for your inquiry. We recognize your interest in the final adjudication of your pending application/petition and are aware of the difficulties caused by any delay in processing. We regret we are not able to give you a timeframe for when we will review your case but the California Service Center is committed to processing this workload. We will be making every effort to adjudicate your case in the most efficient manner based on our available resources. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Anyone else receive this response after an inquiry?

They can't give direct answer the reason being is you will be disappointed if that date comes and goes without your approval. USICS is vague on purpose. They are dealing in facts and you are dealing with your emotion. Big difference. The process works, you just need to give it time to unfold. Of course, none of this you want to hear but, it is what it is.

 

Can I share somethings with you that I learned long ago about this process?

    • "the man with the gold makes the rules"
    • it will take as long as it will take 
    • no one with any certainty can tell you when some process will be completed
    • Your sense of urgency will never be equaled to what USCIS, NVC or your embassy demonstrates
    • Your journey is not going to mirror someone else's experience - yours and theirs are not the same
    • They only promised you a YES or NO answer. Never an exact time that their decision would be completed
    • Lowering your expectations will make you a much more relaxed individual

Good luck on your journey 
 

I have my own opinions about this. I feel like it’s just pure laziness. I have deadlines at work that must be met as well and of course i need to have an explanation of why it isn’t being met. I cannot give anyone vague responses and I don’t believe uscis should be any different. Simply saying “you just need to wait” is not acceptable atleast say what the problem is. I know this isn’t your vault or anyone else’s, but it is frustrating that this is happening with no word to anyone except delays of covid.

Well no one is even looking at our case yet. But congrats to everyone who has gotten approvals so far! Just seeing all the movement in March cases is encouraging!

I don’t like seeing these kinds of replies. For all this it’s better to not even submit an inquiry if they cannot even give a direct answer

Just received this as a response about our case inquiry. Is this normal given the current situation?  

What does that even mean? It’s so vague, so when are you supposed to head an answer? 

Just now, LoveJonLovell said:

I spend two hours collecting the data and put it in the chart I created

Oh i see. Well I must say I very much appreciate you doing that! Thank you so much.

I have an iPhone...

Oh interesting I do too. Do you create that chart or that is how it shows up? 

1 hour ago, LoveJonLovell said:

It's all on the USCIS Case Tracker app... it takes about 2 hours using 2 devices to search through all the March cases

I’ve searched on that app but it doesn’t look the same. Do you have an iPhone or Android? I wonder if mine is different depending on the phone

Update time, filers!

 

We must remember that this week was a holiday in the USA (indigenous peoples day/Columbus Day), so we're down a full day!

 

That being said, March has had roughly 10% of cases approved now. 

 

There were 56 extra RFEs added in the last 4 days. This week also saw 86 New approvals, bringing the total for March to 413.

 how do you find this chart? Can you send a video or instructions?

When I spoke to a tier 2 she said that even though it's past 7 months it's still within range...😒

God they’re just making stuff up now. Why not just be honest about what is really going on

We got an email today on 15th Oct, its the notification regarding the case inquiry we did earlier on 1st Oct. It says "45 days" to receive notice of action. Any idea as to what it suggests, is only now a case officer assigned to our application !?

I’m sorry but this is ridiculous even during Covid times.

I had some time to kill yesterday and today... So I went onto the USCIS Case Tracker and listed all K-1s submitted in March... It'll be easy for me to update each week..

 

Just something to pass the time whilst waiting 😆😅 

How did you find this? Would you mind updating this often like weekly? Or explain where you found it so I can look 

Anyone have an idea when the us embassy will open in the Dominican Republic? I thought when America opened they will be too, but it doesn’t seem to be the case.

@Luis and tifa I imagine the very, very earliest any of us would hear anything from the USCIS would be next month. Likely longer than that. It looks like the earliest anyone in the previous months is getting some sort of news (either NOA2 or RFE) is about 3 months, many are longer than that. So, for the time being... I'm just going to sit back and focus on the things I can control in my personal life as is my fiance. When we hear from them, we hear from them 😁 

You guys on here are very helpful and supportive. It feels good to be around people who are going through the same thing.

I forgot to ask for a link to that information about immigration struggling to receive funding. Please post the link. Thanks.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/05/18/politics/uscis-emergency-funding-coronavirus/index.html

Any march filers get approved yet? My anxiety is killing me especially after hearing the news of immigration struggling to receive funding.
