Case Processing
Finally Greened! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hi, everyone! I would like to share to you my immigration journey. It was a long and arduous process, but it was worth the wait. As cliche as it sounds, good things come to those who wait. Best of luck to all of you guys on your immigration journey.

EB-2 NIW — RFE response sent almost 2 months ago, still no updat
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice and to hear about others’ experiences.
I applied for an EB-2 NIW almost 2 years ago. About 2 months ago, we responded to an RFE. Before we responded, my lawyer told me that the officer handling my case is known for being strict and having a high denial rate. Even so, I decided to move forward because I had all the evidence they requested and more.
Now, almost 30 days later, I still haven’t received any update from USCIS. I’m starting to get worried because it’s been such a long journey already.
My questions are:
• Should I pay for premium processing now to get a faster decision?
• Has anyone here had a similar wait time after sending an RFE response?
• How many days does USCIS usually take to respond after receiving RFE evidence?
Any insights or personal experiences would be really helpful.
Thank you!
RFE after interview
Did my interview two weeks ago and was told I’d receive an rfe for form I-693 in the mail the following week and still nothing 🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼I already have the sealed package. Is anyone here in a similar situation?
