K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	RFE Sucks!	Exactly! So annoying!	enatal	Female	Brazil	2013-07-15 14:53:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	RFE Sucks!	This RFE thing sucks big time. They should tell you what's all about on the e-mail, so you can take the necessary measures to correct whatever mistake they have found. And all this waiting kills us! Like i told my fiance, it's like they're saying "Hey! There's something wrong with the petition that decides your future but we're not telling you what it is yet, just wait for 15 days to find out. In the meantime, try not to stalk the mailman much", seriously, I fell that the only thing missing on the email is an evil laugh at the end! :/	enatal	Female	Brazil	2013-07-15 13:27:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	RFEs in July	Anyone got theirs? We're still waiting...20 days already...	enatal	Female	Brazil	2013-07-28 20:38:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	RFEs in July	So my fiance called them today, because it has been 15 days and no RFE hardcopy yet. He had to put a service request so they can send another one, and guess what? They gave 30 days to process the service requestand then send the darn RFE again! Really?? THIRTY DAYS? Since we already waited 15! God! That's so frustrating!!!!	enatal	Female	Brazil	2013-07-23 09:21:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	RFEs in July	Got mine early this month. still no hardcopy   anyone else ? Mine never came either. My fiance will call tomorrow so they can re send it. They can only ressnd it after 15 days. Which is stupid since the mail service doesn't take that long to deliver letters.	enatal	Female	Brazil	2013-07-22 08:10:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	RFE	Hi everyone! I received an RFE notice last Friday (email, text). Any idea how long it takes to receive the hard copy? If I were to call will they know what exactly it is for? I might be the the exception but mine never came. It's been 22 days. We filled a service request a week ago and still nothing. Not to let you down, but be prepared for this possibility.	enatal	Female	Brazil	2013-07-31 13:29:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January Filer - 6 month service Request	I really hope you don't get a RFE and get approved straight away. I got one almost a minth ago and it was never delivered, now they told us to wait another 30 days so they can resend it. And it's not even guaranteed, they said it take 30 days to process the service resquest. So i'm hoping you get a noa 2 straight.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	RFE Never came	So, after 3 service requests, an infopass and a congressman involved...today my fiance called them and they said they'd mailed the RFE again last thursday. He spoke with a TIER 2 person today and this person said to give it another 30 days for it to arrive! Oh for God sakes, really??? The same person said that the RFE has a deadline - and tells us to wait 30 days to do something in case we don't receive the package? What sort of advice is that? - so she said for us to mail the service requests receipts with the RFE to prove we didn't receive it in first place and to disconsider the first deadline. So I'd say that if any of you didn't call them yet, CALL NOW! Don't wait until the deadlines they give you, cause each person says something different every time you call, and they don't even know what they are saying (hence the "you have a deadline to make, but wait another month to call in case you don't get it") call them everyday, get in touch with your congressman, send an e-request, there's even an email address there somewhere. Do everything you can, even if they keep telling you to wait, cause if you miss the deadline then they'll say it'll be your fault.	enatal	Female	Brazil	2013-08-05 12:09:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	RFE Never came	We did contact our senator and the responsible person for immigration issues called them and now is waiting for a reponse. Good grief!	enatal	Female	Brazil	2013-08-02 07:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	RFE Never came	We got a notice that a RFE had been sent on July 8th. It never came. After 15 days (9 days ago) my fiance called them and they put a service resquest on it, they said it could take 30 days justto process the service request. I'm sacred that we might fall into the USCIS limbo. Has anyone here been through the same thing? How long did it take to the rfe to be resent?	enatal	Female	Brazil	2013-08-01 10:05:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	RFE hardcopy take longer then 3weeks	[quote name="MiltonAnaya" post="6423212" timestamp="1375739697"] That's strange because when I called they said I'd be receiving it in 15 days or less That's the thing with uscis, they say something different to each person. I really think 30 days is ridiculous, and when my fiance told that to the lady on the phone she didn't know what to say.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	RFE hardcopy take longer then 3weeks	Hello , I received the email for RFE July 9 . From the site I calculated an estimated 5-20 days but soon it will be a month and I'm very worried. We wanted him to be here before our daughters 1st birthday :/ Any advice or personal experiences ? Hi there, Well, i was in the same situation as you, RFE sent on july 8th and never arrived. On day 15 my fiance call uscis and filed a service resquest, which they said it could take up to 30 days just to process. He also got an infopass (a appointment with your local USCIS office) and they couldn't do anything, so they filed another service resquest. Last monday he got in touch with his congressman's office, and the person responsible for immigration issues also gave them a call. Today he called USCIS again, spoke with a tier 2 person and they said that the resent the RFE last thursday, and to give it another 30 days to arrive (is it coming from China?). Anyway...call them, file service resquests, email them, call you representative. Do everything you can.	enatal	Female	Brazil	2013-08-05 09:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	question about RFE deadlines	The date of letters of intent to marry should be changed right?   My Fiance wants to just resend the old letter of intent to marry dated and signed January 16, 2013.   Advice please? I would change it. It's been 7 months already.	enatal	Female	Brazil	2013-08-06 08:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	question about RFE deadlines	I recieved a RFE on July 5th 2013 and they are requesting the G-325A and passport pictures that I forget to send in with my application. In the RFE letter it states I have 84 days. I am so happy it gives me that amount of time because I am still waiting on my fiance to sned me his. I hope to get it by next week. But for the most part I think the deadline is 3months. I hope that answers your question.........     you are usually given 3months to get back to them with whatever they requested from you! we got an RFE requesting for letters of intent to marry from both parties,and we were approved in a couple of weeks after they recieved it!   Thank you, that makes me feel better.	enatal	Female	Brazil	2013-08-05 13:11:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	question about RFE deadlines	Hi, i have a question for people who received RFE's before. What was the deadline they gave you? Was something simple, or something that needed more documents (including out of the country docs)? Cause my rfe never arrived and they just resent it, but the tier 2 person we spoke to kept saying that there's a deadline for it to be replied and if it's something simple they give you less time. That kinda freaked us out, because if we missed the first deadline then it'll be a great headache for us to prove that was their fault in the first place (like telling us to wait 15 days before calling) - although we do have 2 service requests to prove it. I just wanted to know the average time so maybe we can feel a little bit less desperate while we wait for the second time for the hard copy to arrive.   Thank you	enatal	Female	Brazil	2013-08-05 12:18:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	RFE not here in 15 days!?!	What happens if RFE is not in hand within the 15 days they say to wait? What do we do? What do they do? Please don't tell me they will just resend and tell us to wait up to another 15 days!! I'm sorry to tell you but, yes, they will. Actually that happened to us, my fiance called on day 15, they put a service request on it and told him it would take 30 days just to process the service request. He kept calling, got an infopass and nothing. After 25 days from the first lette they resent it. It has been 8 days and nothing again. The first letter was returned to TSC. My fiance contacted our local representative and that helped a lot. Actually, they ended up waiving the rfe and we got our noa 2 instead, don't ask me how or why, but i think the representative helped.	enatal	Female	Brazil	2013-08-09 21:14:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	A call from Texas, a waived RFE and a NOA 2.	It all started when they sent us a RFE a month ago that never came. After around 3,000 calls to uscis, 3 service requests, and a contact with our representative, they resent the letter last thursday (still didn't come). Past monday the first RFE letter was returned to uscis as undeliverable (the address was right, we got letters from them before!). Today my fiance gets a call from a TSC agent saying that she looked over our process again and that she was going to approve it, WITH NO RFE!!!! I mean...miracles do happen and a contact from your senator office helps as well. We just got our NOA2!!! I can't believe it! Finally!!!!!	enatal	Female	Brazil	2013-08-09 20:45:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January 2013 filers	Did they say what center was processing jan.23 ? That's what I was thinking ..... they didn't say what center was on jan.23 ? Nope, but i understand it's tsc, since our case number is there. At least it's what makes sense.	enatal	Female	Brazil	2013-07-03 08:06:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January 2013 filers	My fiance called uscis and all they say is "we are currently processing jan 23rd". We're also transferred to texas on the 21st.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January 2013 filers	As you may recall we gave a heads up hint of a prediction of upcoming activity for you January filers based on our Durden Data.   We thought we would give some analysis for you all so you can see where things stand so far and whet your appetite for information.    Here is a snapshot based on CSC receipt numbers between 314192 and 377064. These 1445 I-129F petitions comprise what CSC considers to be the January filers. This is accurate as of 5/16/2013 and is complete containing all USCIS data not just the VJ timelines. Keep in mind that VJ sees NOA1s slightly different than how USCIS looks at it.   File Status                                         Count       Percent -------------------------------------------------- ----------- ------- Initial Review                                     858         59.37% Post Decision Activity                             437         30.24% Request for Evidence                               119         8.23% Decision                                           15          1.03% Unavailable                                        9           0.62% Acceptance                                         4           0.27% Request for Evidence Response Review               3           0.20%   Keep in mind that a RFE is a secondary review, so the files that have a probability of review and possible NOA2 or RFE is as follows.   Initial Review Count       Percent -------------- ----------- ------- Reviewed       574         39.72% Not Reviewed   871         60.27%   Doesn't it feel good when you are well informed?

If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.  If you have submitted the required documents in filing the petition, there are times that USCIS would not need any more information from the petitioner and they would approve it with a case status Post Decision Activity.

Philippines	K1: Pay Visa fee and schedule interview before DS-160?	Hi,    We just got our NVC case number today and if I understand correctly we can now pay the $240 visa fee? My fiancee just needs to bring the case number plus a visa deposit slip (   After that she can schedule the interview and then do her medical at St Luke's?   And he DS-160 just needs to be done online sometime prior to the interview.    Is that all correct?   Thanks! -Loren   Yes. You can download the deposit slip online and she can go to the nearest BPI branch. The visa fee will be pain in peso.    If she pays after 3pm, she can schedule her appointment at 1PM the day after.    For the medical, it says on their website that they suggest doing it 7-10 days before the interview (I am trying to find out if it is okay to do this a month before but I am not sure yet). You will need to bring your appointment letter btw	froyo	Female	Philippines	2013-12-17 00:36:00
