RFE
40 days ago I answered my RFE for VAWA visa, they asked me for more evidence of my marriage in good faith and I sent it, how long can a response take?

@Oscar García did you send any evidence when you first applied in 2022 ?
Oscar GarcíaFeb 9, 2026
@ayel yael Yes, I sent enough evidence the first time, but they asked me for more so look for more evidence and add it, but since December 31, 2025 when they received my response from the RFE nothing has changed
Oscar GarcíaFeb 9, 2026
@r r I thought they only asked for a single RFE to give an answer, what can a second RFE be due to? To be prepared, I'm from April 2022

I applied in Aug 2022, received the PFD in October 2022, received the RFE in June 2025, submitted my response on August 15, 2025, and have been waiting for an update since then.

@Muhammad E. Today you must be completing 180 days, which is half a year. Wowwww it's a long time for an answer, I hope everything goes well for you

I’m sorry, this part is really hard because VAWA cases already take so long and an RFE adds more anxiety. At 40 days after responding, you’re still within a very normal range. For good faith marriage RFEs, USCIS often takes anywhere from about 45 to 90 days to review the response, and sometimes even a few months, especially with the humanitarian unit handling these cases.
