Ok... SO I sent my RFE in today (got it in the mail yesterday with what they were requesting). They requested proof of meeting in the last 2 years.... Here is what I sent:

 

1. Letter I posted above

2. Letter from my pastor stating he knows me and saw us together

3. Signed church covenant (by her)

4. Her US Visa with Stamps

5. Her Passport with all stamped pages

6. Her registration form from the college she attended English classes at

7. Her College ID

8. Copy of boarding passes coming here

9. Itinerary for her flight to NC (She left Chicago to go to NC for a few days before she went home we do not have these boarding passes)

10.  Copy of boarding passes going home.

 

I hope that's enough for them.I also sent it overnight so they should have it by 3 PM tomorrow.

I'm getting a church covenant from when she joined my church from the pastor, along with a letter from him stating he knows us and seen us together, also I have a copy of her registration to a college that is near me.

The receipts  I didn't save any  :(
Well we have everything I can think of that we have.... I do remember her getting a package delivered to my house.... But IDK if she still has it (doubtful) for the postmark.

 Here is the letter I am sending for how we met... Any input would be appreciated...

To whom it may concern:

I am writing this letter to explain how I met my fiancée and when. We had initially met through the website Christianmingle.com on Tuesday September 10, 2013, we exchange messages through the site and after a few hours we exchanged cell phone numbers. We texted each other and decided to go out on a date  Friday September 13, 2013. I picked her up from where she was staying with some friends in Beecher Illinois at about 8pm. I took her to Lone star Steakhouse for dinner in Bradley Illinois, we had dinner and chatted while we were there. She had said that she had never been miniature golfing before so we tried to go but it was closed, we then decided to go bowling instead. The first place we went was Striker?s bowling in Beecher Illinois, but there was nobody at the front counter and we couldn?t find anyone so we could pay to bowl. I then decided to take her to Stardust Bowl in Dyer Indiana at about 10pm. We rented the lane for an hour and bowled 3 games. I took her home and we arrived about 11:30pm- 12:00AM, we spent about 2 more hours talking in the car and planned on going on another date. We continued to date on the weekends, which some she would stay with me for the entire weekend I proposed on Christmas day. She stayed with me for about  1 week in February, then she went to visit some friends in North Carolina on February 4th  this about sums up how we met and our dating up until she left.

I got my hardcopy of RFE today, they are asking for proof of meeting in the last 2 years. We are going to send in Copies of her passport, the itinerary from when she got her plane tickets, and a letter explaining how we met and our first date, do you think this will suffice?

Woohoo! Looks like calling definitely helped! On the bright side, they are looking at your case now. You will have to wait for the paper copy of the RFE to see what its all about. If you want, you can post it when you receive it and we can help you if you need it :) I'm guessing the date is just a typo maybe?
 

The date I Thought the same thing, When I get the RFE I'm going to overnight what they ask for and require signature (hopefully that will make them go quicker). I haven't got the Text yet and the USICS website still gives March 12 (when I filed change of address) as last activity.

What I find as confusing is they put a date of 02/08/14..... Which was BEFORE I got NOA 1 (See Bold date above).... Now I'm wondering what the RFE is for.

 


Ooops forgot to edit my email out

How did you get a projected date? I am March filer at CSC my NOA1 date is march 10. And the representative just said that the processing time is 5 month. So I am still within the processing time and i should wait. Could you please share the information your representative share with you. I would really appreciate it. 

That is what she said... I didn't press anything she just gave it up to me. I wish I can be more helpful!!

Interesting. You would think that if they needed more information, you would have a RFE or something by now. Have you contacted USCIS and asked for a Tier 2 officer just to make sure a RFE was not missed?

Did someone here get a job at USICS???
WOW..... I called (second time) and I got the (what seemed like) the most helpful person....

Anyway.... She was shocked I hadn't heard anything about my case by now, so she submitted a Case status review, then she proceeded to tell me "We have a projected date of June 3rd for you, it's strange you have not gotten an RFE or anything at this point"..... After this she told me basically how to "buck the system"... If I don't hear anything by June 3 to call back and ask for a level 2.... I have to ask 2-3 times they HAVE to try and persuade you not to go to tier 2, she even said "They will tell you it hasn't been 30 days since... Just ignore that and keep pressing".... Then she also gave me best times of day, and days to call on.... So now hopefully I will hear something soon... Now I have another number that if I call back I'll give them.

I got an interesting letter yesterday. As I said in an earlier post I had went to see my congressman about an issue that was coming up for vote and at the end he said anything else.. So I told him about this ridiculous process and the asinine wait times they give. Long story short he asked for my info and I have it to him. To me I read this as "I think this is dragging too, now I'm leaning in them" what do you guys think?Attached File  image.jpg   116.71KB   1 downloads

Indeed.  I cannot believe people at the CSC are getting them in less than 2 weeks!  #######?!?!  Work on getting the ones from months ago that you still have not processed.  Unfair and uncool.  :ranting:   I don't begrudge the people who're getting theirs so quickly... it's not their fault, but the process is still bogus, whether we're talking TSC or CSC. 

 

I know it's not the people, They have no control over it... It's just annoying to see that so many have got theirs who filed after I did.

I just wanted to update everyone. As I posted yesterday my case is at CSC with an NOA1 of Feb 11th and I am still waiting. I called yesterday to check to status and was told that my case had been approved an sent to NVC. They told me I would need to call NVC for more information. I was so excited. After being on hold for 30 minutes I was told that my case was not at NVC I would need to call the customer service line again... well they had closed for the night. I called this morning when they opened, after being passed around a few times I was told that my case is still at CSC, has not been approved and looks complete but they need more time. I asked for a reason why it has not been approved and the only response I got was that they needed more time. It was an emotional rollercoaster and now I am back to waiting. I was really looking forward to having him here and now I am so disappointed and hurt by that whole thing. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers we really need them right now

 

 

Can I ask what number you called? Also what did you say?

I called the 800 number on the site, and got the automation, after I entered everything, pressed 3 and spoke to a lady there. She did give me the estimate of when to get it, July 11 (5 months). I HATE this wait... Whats more is I HATE seeing that people who filed WAY after me are getting them in 10 days in some instances.... Its just not fair. They claim they process them as they come in well that's a lie.... Considering many people from March, and April are getting theirs while I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs.

I rarely come here because it's so discouraging to see this.

This sucks. Why the hell is mine taking so long? I had talked to my congressman (about something completely diffrent that was coming up for vote) after we were done talking he said anything else, so I said "yeah, fix this immigration issue, its crazy that they expect people to be away from their loved ones for up to a year". Needless to say he said he'd check into it for me ( I thought yeah right as soon as I leave it'll be forgotten). Well I got a letter from him a few days ago it said nothing except I'm still within the 5 months (like I expected) and he will contact me as more becomes available. Reading the paper they sent I have a NOA 1 date of Feb 11, but the paper they sent said feb 13. I wonder if the 2 day difference is how long it took for CSC to get it. Idk all I know is. This blind waiting sucks, it sucks more when you see ppl who sent theirs after you getting approved.

Not everything I write here is serious. We have an ongoing joke here that whenever I rant, approvals come in. It is coincidence of course, but within minutes of my starting this thread, we got our one approval for the day, hence my post about how the magic worked.

My fiance comes from the biggest ex-communist country, Russia, so I can see where you are coming from. To her, this is all just fine because it is the norm she grew up with. For me, a New York boy and a businessman, I am accustomed to controlling my environment and for things to happen based on the aggressiveness of my actions and quality of my decisions. Since none of it works here, this thing for me has been a complete horror.

Just so you know, I spent the last five months cultivating political contacts in Congress specifically for this purpose, and on the day of the 5 month mark, this past Monday, I called in my chips. Let's see what happens.

Al --I am close to yr timeline by a week --maybe if your ''magic work with yr ''political contacts '' -can you hook a brother up ?? :lol: :lol: :lol:
