How long does it take to get approved after sending the medical RFE response?
Dear immigrant friends, My medical RFE response just reached USCIS Los Angeles County Field, obviously, there is no online update yet (it might take a few days) My quick question is: how long does it take to get approved after sending the medical RFE response? The letter said to send my RFE response ASAP in order for them to make a final decision on my I-485, hinting that there won't be an interview. ( I hope so ) by the way - my case is at NBC ( local office Queens NY ) not sure why now they want my docs from Los Angeles County Office Thank you in advance

From the data I have seen, for most cases it takes under 30 days to get the GC approved after the receipt notice for the medicals when the RFE comes from the Field Office like in your case. I think you are very close. I have also analyzed a data set of over 800 approved cases were medicals were requested and in very few cases, very few there was an interview scheduled. My bet would be you are getting your Green Card probably the first week of December without an interview

I submitted mine in FO directly on Sep 24. No status update either online or when called them. One strange thing is that there is no update even for RFE has been issued. When called, they indicated that FO might have issued RFE and once they update on the mesicals, NBC will pick up from there. But agents have no clue on what’s happening at the FO. Let’s see.

I received a Medical RFE and need to send a response to Los Angeles FO. My Status got changed on November 2, 2021 " Request for Evidence was received" - since then no updates. I do have international travel booked on November 27, 2021. Any possibility that I will receive my GC before that? based on the data points.

@A X for me it took exactly 14 days since the status changed to request for evidence was received, so hopefully it works for you as well!

#I485 #Medical RFE #lawfullydigest Hello Friends, It been a long wait like most of you. Any suggestion or guidance would be appreciated. January 17, 2020 We received your Form I-485 February 3, 2020 We accepted the fingerprint fee for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. Our Texas Service Center location is working on your case. August 6, 2020 The fingerprints relating to your Form I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, were taken. December 21, 2021 We denied your request for expedite processing. Received Medical RFE request on Dec 30th. Got the medical doen and send RFE on 11th. They received it on 12th. January 13, 2022 Response To USCIS' Request For Evidence Was Received. Still no change in status. I am in between jobs and I'm afraid this will affect my decision and prospects. Any thoughts on how long it might take for approval? Is it true that I may not have an interview? Kindly respond. Thank you

Hi I sent in my application in September, did my biometrics in January, in March I received a medical rfe requesting i693 and pictures of myself and husband and letters from friends and family, request was sent 2 days later i130 was approved (I did no interview) is that a thing? But since rfe was received on the 24 March I have had no response, what does this mean?

Folks - those who received decision after sending RFES--> can you update what was your maximum waiting time after USCIS case status changed to - "Response To USCIS' Request For Evidence Was Received"? I am waiting for mine since 21 days and my priority date is current.
