@A K thanks! My 1st RFE was my medical exam. I didn’t include it with my application. My 2nd RFE was for Supplement J and my I-140 approval notice. I let my attorney handled my 2nd RFE. After my response to the 2nd RFE arrived the FO, it took 12 days (includes Sat and Sun) to got this approval notification. I submitted my I-485 on May 4, 2022. My I-140 was approved in Aug in the same year. I knew that my case was transferred to Miami FO when I received the 1st RFE in mid Dec 2022.
