No, only the USC birth certificate (or passport), not the beneficiary's one is needed. No need for affidavit of support either until the interview stage.

 

I only had the basic stuff in there that it says is a must on this site in the guide and got no RFEs.

Didn't send anything extra like proof of ongoing relationship or anything of the sort. Getting it together now for the interview.

Just the forms, letters of intent, and proof of meeting within 2 years (copies of passport, plane boarding passes, photos).

 

I only sent a copy of my naturalization certificate.

I included bith certificate with translation for my fiance. Some have gotten RFEs because the passport photo did not meet USCIS spec.

 

Did you still still get RFE? Is the birth certificate required?

thats the way it was with my case too, everyone around mine was touched except for mine, then today BAM a stupid RFE.......almost 6 and 1/2 months and an RFE......my petition had everything in it that they asked for...........just dont know.......maybe my theory about the texas approvers was correct, they are new at approving and they wil give alot of RFE.........out of 55 cases i watch, 28 got RFE's...............hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 Mine too. In fact it was so heavy that I had to pay over $40. The only thing I didn't include is my fiance birth certificate and the affidavit of support. Did I have to include the birth certificates too? Hopefully I will get it this weekend or latest by  Monday

Do you include affidavit of support in the initial application? I know I didn't because my understanding is that one is sent to NVC

After waiting for over six months this is what I got after I was told by tier-2 that I wouldn't be hit with RFE? This is just BS

OK - I just got an email saying they've mailed us an RFE.... pffff, not sure how I feel about that!  Was so depserately hoping for a straight approval.  Do we know roughly how long they're taking to process them once I send it back??

I am Dec 17 too and still waiting

In my humble opinion, maybe you need to not check in here daily for a few days and just see what happens, live your life as much as you can...go out and have a good time with your friends or something, or you can always go to Wal-Mart!!!!!!!

 

Just try to take this off you rmind for a few days and maybe you will feel better about the situation.

its inevitable that we will all be approved, its just a matter of when, and that will be soon.

 

Hang in there it will be OK.  We are all in the same boat!!!!!!!!!

 I couldn't agree with you more and that is what I have decided to do. I only checked in here this evening and checked USCIS site just once today.

While I agree with the second part of your statement, I don't think they started their vacation yesterday.  I talked to them on the phone today.

 

I am talking about the adjudicators. Unless you talked to an adjudicator but I am pretty the person you talked was like one of representatives we talk to when we go to the local offices. They have access to all the information but cannot adjudicate the case.

congrats guys - so happy for you!! smile.png

 

 

It's heartbreaking to read the despair from some of you guys that have not been approved yet. It really is unfair that January can be approved before December.  Even if they had to do some more checking or whatever the reason, it must be so frustrating. sad.png Please hang in there and follow everyone's advice to be as proactive as you can with whoever you can call to get some answers. Stay strong - it will happen soon. smile.png

 

It isn't heartbreaking but disgusting. Where is the fairness here? What they are doing is tantamount to being in a queue and somebody cuts in front of you. If they have problem with my application, they should let me know instead of allowing it sit out there and approving those that were received later. No wonder, I heard majority of employees there are high school dropouts and I think that may be true.

Just got a response from the e-request i put in last week. It basically just says my case was transferred on 5/30 and is pending at TSC and to give them 45 days to post a decision or NOA. 

 

 

BAAHHHH I want my NOA 2 NOW 

Just got the same message. This is just sickening.

Sigh, received a response to my service request that was useless. Just says to wait. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

 

Wait when those who applied after you been approved? what kind of unfairness is that? No one will complain if they were approving cases on first come, first serve basis as they continue to tell us when you call the customer service

Yep, December 12th still waiting.  Congrats to all the approvals last night!

USCIS Service CentersTransferred file from vsc to Texas got touched today!!!!!!

 

Nothing is wrong, we're all in the same boat!  My NOA1 is December 12th, and I'm still waiting also.  Lots of us transfers are still waiting.  I don't think the NOA1 dates mean much... we've seen a lot of the January filers that were transferred getting approved, and early December filers still waiting, but by the end of this week (which will be a month since the transfer), I think they will get most, if not all, approved.  Just hang in there!  I know it's tough.  I've been walking around like a zombie the past couple weeks since we started seeing approvals... my brain and heart are just kind of on hold until we get that email.  Take a page from Strictly4theluv's book and try to stay positive smile.png

 

Where did the idea first come first serve go? When you call the customer service, they keep telling you applications are processed on first come first serve basis. Now I have stopped checking the status because it is too frustrating and annoying


kari81Not TellingGhana2013-06-24 08:55:00

Just checked and now both the petition right before mine and the petition right after mine are approved and I'm still stuck at Initial Review! So annoying!

Switching back to VSC is making them look good so we should leave it as it is. TSC should be ready to process more VSC applications because they aren't going to change. I bet VSC will retrogress again within the next two to three months.

I still don't understand why the service centers, at least VSC, do their things. To process applications randomly makes no sense especially if they find no problem with the application as I was told by ISO that my application was RFE free. This is my first time of dealing with the service center and if I were to grade them, I will give them an F without any hesitation.

I called the toll free number again today and again the representative was rude and she continued to say that the processing time is 8 months and not 6 months. I told her that she didn't know what she was talking about so i asked her if could give me to tier-2. She hesitated but insisted and she told me the tier-2 would tell the same thing and i said that was fine. I left my number for them to call back because the waiting time was 2hrs. Well the finally called back and it looked he had spoken to me back in February. He said my application should have been approved by now so he was sending email to the service center asking them to approve my application quote " as soon as possible". He gave me a case number to call within a week if i don't hear anything.

What did we do to deserve this unfair treatment? Now when you  call the customer service phone they keep telling you it is now taking 8months to process these damm applications. When I ask her why are they processing January and February applications, she tells me every application is unique. Well what about the appication fee? if you have issue with my application, let me know if it can be corrected instead of keeping it somewhere and approving others who applied after me.

Question:

 

RFE=Request For Evidence correct?

 

Does everyone eventually get an RFE?  Or are those only sent out to applicants without enough information?

 

When I send my packet in, I felt pretty confident that it included a fair amount of evidence that we have met in the last two years.  Actually I have been to Brazil 4 times in the last 2 years and she has been here t3 times.   I included Passport copies, plane ticket itineraries, and photos of us in both countries. 

 

Should I still expect an RFE?  (I understand this could be a loaded question as they may look for anything to create an RFE)?

 

Thanks for any reply.

It sucks big time and very depressing. The lack of consistency of how the applications are processed makes it more annoying and depressing especially when we are all paying the same fee.

No offense taken .... My last four digits are 7913 received on dec 5 .... So does that mean there are over 7000 before me? 7000 cases were sent to tsc ... Just trying to understand my number
For example Kari81 has a receipt number lower than me but she file later .... I'm confused

 

I really believe applications are processed on FIFO bases in batches but the system gets skewed due to individual adjudicator. You know slow employees.
