hi sonatacar - Any further update/online status change after the CPO/Decision on October 1st?

Hi Arya

No other updates. Just another text recvd 2nd oct that it's in post decision. That's it


Looks like this is normal. Let's hold it for another 5 days. We shud get cards


My now worry is to receive and reasons the 2nd rfe for my 11 yr old boy on his medical.

Not sure if he can make it in this year

Hi Sonatacar - I am sure that you son will make it this year. Whoever received 2nd RFE got their approval in couple of day post response. Also i believe they might have reserved a visa number from him.
