I filed my first application in October 2019. In spring 2020, I paid for premium and got an RFE that rejected all my criteria. After answering to the RFE, the office approved 2 criteria and denied my case. My I-485 fees were also wasted. I realized my lawyer did a bad job and got another lawyer. I also read tons of info about writing the case and refiled it, with no premium, in June 2021. I submitted 7 criteria, 744 pages of evidence total. after 19 months of waiting, my case was approved with no RFE. Good luck everyone.
