a dropped RFE and subsequent K1 approval !?
On March 1st we recieved an RFE (on-line) from NSC in response to our K1 application. 24 days later we have got nothing in the post. We phoned up NSC in regard to this delay and were told we would have to wait 30 days until they would enquire into the delay. So today I decide to check our online status just to check that our status hasnt been changed to 'wrong mailing address, RFE returned to service center' etc.
So when I check I see we have been approved ...Im trying very hard not to get my hopes up as this all seems very strange...Is there anyway of checking for certain what is going on or why our RFE has been dropped 24 days later or if it hasnt why our on-line status says approved.....???
Does anyone know of this happening before or how I might find out for certain what is going on ???
"This case has been approved. On March 20, 2004, an approval notice was mailed. If 14 days have passed and you have not received this notice, you may wish to verify or update your address. To update your address, please call the National Customer Service Center at (800) 375-5283."

Re: a dropped RFE and subsequent K1 approval !?
Sounds to me like they rec'd your RFE, got back what they wanted from you and subsequently approved your petition. From what others have said, they don't receive anything back from the service center saying that your RFE has been rec'd.
Try calling the mis-information line and check your status through them as well. When we got approved online I didn't initially believe it so I used the automated system to check our status and talked to a live person on the information line. I started to believe it after all 3 statuses were approved.
Congrats on what sounds like your approval!

Well the thing is WE never even recieved the RFE through the post and hence never replied to it !. We just read online/phoned to learn we had been sent an RFE on March 1st but it never arrived and now we are being told we are approved !!

Re: a dropped RFE and subsequent K1 approval !?
It would appear that one of several things occurred:
1. The original RFE was an error and meant for someone other than you; or
2. The original RFE was for a piece of paper that someone misplaced and thought was not included but "found" before the actual RFE was mailed to you; or
3. The approval is incorrect and meant for someone else.
Sorry, but it looks like you will have to wait until you get the approval NOA in the mail to be 100% sure.

Since some people never receive NOA 2 in the mail, I would wait a little over a week from the "supposedly approved date" and call NVC, if they have your file, then you know for sure you have been approved. Good luck and keep us updated!!Lily,
