Jan-Mar no movement. Approach Senator in April 2026. Meantime submitted EAD renewal online, immediately case got transferred from NBC-LAFO, due to workload. Received a call from USCIS about verification. Medical expired, USCIS issued RFE April 21 2026.
LAFO received RFE response on May 12, 2026. Logged in the system May 20,2026. “This is the important date and the clock starts from here.”

congratulations! did you get any help from the congressman?

Thank you.
Local congressman casework team contacted USCIS about the case. USCIS has to respond congressman within 30 days. C. office received a case response that officer is assigned to the case, reviewed RFE, requested associated files and collaborated with DoS for visa allocation. I would say this was a great help from the office.

Congratulations! Quick question - Will USCIS respond to Congressman in 30 calendar days or business days?

Great! Congratulations @VJ D !
Roughly how many days USCIS took to respond or act on your case after submission of first congressional inquiry in April? was it exact 30 days?
Also, did it also take 30 days for second congressional inquiry in June ?

Senator inquiry on 4/17, response received from senator office 4/19. Congressional inquiry 6/10, response received 7/9. It got delayed I think only my I-485 application moved to LAFO and remaining associated files (I-140, etc) were at NBC. Otherwise the approval should came in May or June.

Usually USCIS respond within 30 calendar days

If all files are at one place I-140, I-485, I-693 medical and biometric in the system then approvals are faster within 1-30 days! Depends on the case complexity.
