RFE Response Review Time in 2019 Archive

pogingastig · October 18, 2018, 5:00am

Hello, is there any info regarding the response time for E2 cases? Most cases I’m seeing in the web are on H1B…

anil_am22 · July 17, 2019, 12:48am

Are you talking about E2 RFE or straight Approval?

Hi Anil,

The response time after submission of RFE for an E2 case. Ive seen that it is 60 days usually for h1b, what about for E2 case. Is there any info on that? Thanks

Hi @pogingastig

It is average of 60+ days for E2 case too.

pogingastig · July 17, 2019, 3:15am

Thats sad… i thought the 60+ days are usually coming from h1b cases… i dnt see any from the web about e2 cases thus im assuming it may be faster for this type of visa

Hi @pogingastig

The processing time varies with type of RFE too.

Do you know what documents were requested in RFE?

pogingastig · July 17, 2019, 4:58am

Only 2 items: source of funds and substantial investment

Hi @pogingastig

I think you will get approval. Don’t worry. Unfortunately, USCIS is slow and takes time with these kind of situations.

@ Anil_Gupta

Thank you, hope they will approve these coming days so better life shall start:-)

Hi @Swetha_Gowda

The average RFE response time is currently more than 90 days.

Hello Anil,

my wife and son who are my dependents for the change of status got the approval today (i539), however, my case in the uscis website is still pending.

I would assume mine is already approved since my dependents got the approval already. Thanks for the insights

hi Anil,

Is my understanding correct?

anil_am22 · July 25, 2019, 1:20am

Hi @pogingastig

Yes, your H1B Approval should be on the way.

hi,

My H1B RFE decision is pending for 101 calendar days now. A Service Request was raised and we did not receive any promising reply on that, just the general information

I am not sure what is really going on with my case. Has this much delay become a norm now?

Regards,
Jaya

Hi @J_S

Unfortunately yes, this is normal.

J_S · August 2, 2019, 2:29am

Thank you!
Do you know of any case(s) where rfe is pending for more than 90 days?

anil_am22 · August 2, 2019, 3:07am

Hi @J_S

I have heard of cases where it is has been pending for more 8 months too. Its common!

Hi Anil,

I filed for I 140 through EB1C on 30 Aug 2018. Received RFE on 13th December and submitted a response on 8th Match 2019, 3 days before the expiry of deadline. Its been more than 5 months I have submitted my response, I am yet to hear back? All my friends who got RFE received a response within 90 days. Its been more than 155 days and i am still waiting?

I also applied for L1A extenstion on 13th dec 2018 and yet to get a response. converted my application for I129 to premium 9 days back. Just think what could have gone wrong on my 140 and what options do I have now? Please suggest

anil_am22 · August 14, 2019, 9:40pm

Hi @anuj_cal
There is nothing wrong with the application. The processing times are increasing gradually as they do every year this time.

Its normal.
