Request For Additional Evidence Was Sent

Hello everyone, I got this update on my #i360 and I wanted to ask those who also had a #RFE on their i360 what is typically being asked? I see a lot of RFE on #i485 not so much on the #vawa case itself. For those of us who had this, what was it about? Thank you
