Received same RFE twice
Hi everyone,
my husband and I received a RFE in March and we sent our RFE response in April. At the end of August, USCIS sent us the exact same RFE again. Has that happened to anyone here? if yes, what did you do?

@J M maybe they lost the first one. This time send it by mail and upload it online

My interview was on June 18. On the day of the interview, we were missing one document, and the officer said they’d issue an RFE for it. We told them we would upload it right away, and within two hours we submitted it online. But for more than a month the case status didn’t change — no RFE notice either. When I called USCIS, only then did they actually issue the RFE.
After that, we sent the missing document by FedEx. Around August 20, almost a month later, I finally got a notice from USCIS confirming they had received it. Yesterday the status changed to “processing,” and today my I-130 was approved!
Most of the time, when they ask you to send something twice, it’s because of a missing step in the process or a miscommunication, so I don’t think it’s something to worry too much about.
I hope you hear good news soon too!
