We had been sitting here and watch couples get approved who were way behind our first NOA. It came to a boiling point for us. Wishing everyone well, but feeling left out in the whole process.
Guess there must have been people who thought we were just repeatedly whining about the same ole issue, but it must be a trend at MSC that has been experienced by more posters recently.
Of course it is nerv wrecking to have to deal with uncooperative consulates and security checks. But it is very depressing to have not even that first step in the whole process achieved>>>>NOA2.
We left MSC hell recently after a long wait (220 days plus). We know what you feel and hope that RFEs will be treated in a timely manner again.
Good luck to everyone!

But it is still illogical to me/us why this is hitting people with an RFE the most. From research of earlier posts people with an RFE just had been set back for a couple of weeks, now its months. That's why this FRE issue came into focus on this news group.

And I hope that the opinion of some posters may change:
RFE is not always something that could have been avoided. Call yourself lucky when it does NOT hit you. Amen.

Neerluck, I had suspected that you had gotten married in India.. I got
an RFE for my marriage certificate and birth certificate(it was a
duplicate), so I send a US passport instead...Do not know what is
going on?

My question is why have they stopped processing the RFE's and why does it take it 3-5 months to process a RFE ? I believe it would be faster just cancel the original application and then submit your k3 application from again. Atleast you will get your NOA1 in 60-90 days.
I was thinking of about doing a DCF in New Delhi. You can get your visa in 3-4 months.

Is this for every country or just the US? Our marriage cert says clearly at the top "Marriage Certificate issued in pursuance of the Registration of Marriages Acts" and was issued by the registrar of marriages here in Ireland. Can't imagine there'd be a different certificate; I have a call into our local Registrar of Civil Marriages office.
This would be a good thing to add to the FAQ (filing tips) - to make sure from wherever you were married that you have an absolutely official (not just official looking) marriage certificate.

Correct, a case can be put together perfectly, and they still might screw up. But of course, there are also some RFEs triggered by DIY'ers making beginner mistakes.

Let me say it again, the service center itself does not come up with the projected processing time. Instead someone at USCIS HQ "tells" them what they have to say.
