OMG!!!!! I am ecstatic right now!! MY brother was approved today!!!!! It turns out that the RFE was a mistake. They supposedly sent it on February 5th but since we didn't receive it I told him to call today. They ended up transferring and transferring him but it turns out that he was approved today!! The RFE was a glitch they clicked the wrong button or something. His card went into production today!!! YAYYY FINALLY! I'm still waiting but we sent in our apps the same day so I'm calm now. As long as one of us can celebrate that's fine by me!!

His case was a little weird from the start so let me detail it a bit. Application was sent in Aug 31st, received September 5th. He did his biometric on October 4th. Around november they transferred his case to the National Benefits Center then transferred it back to Vermont a month later.

My timeline is almost identical to his besides the Biometric date, I did mine a day before. Our case numbers were almost exactly 1000 apart lol.

We literally sent identical packages so I'm not worried about the RFE anymore. I'll wait patiently for mine!!
