If you are serving in the military, mention that in any congressional or USCIS inquiry. IR-5 has no visa bulletin backlog, but USCIS still has processing delays. If outside normal processing, submit a service request, then congressional inquiry through your representative or military liaison resources. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them in our next Lawfully office hours session! - Attorney Rashmi Bishnoi (All information shared here is for general educational purposes only.

That is frustrating but not automatically abnormal. IR-5 is immediate relative, so there is no visa bulletin wait, but USCIS can still take months after an RFE response. Confirm the RFE response was received. If outside normal processing, submit a service request or congressional inquiry.
