Inquiry
I spoke to a USCIS agent by phone on August 15, 2024 to request information about my case. He told me that the response time after responding to an RFE is 60 days, and that in my case the time had already doubled, so he would submit a request for an agent to review the evidence. He gave me a reference number and told me that within 30 days they had to contact me by email or phone to let me know about the process of my review request. On August 25, 2024, I received an email with the following:
This email is to confirm the USCIS Contact Center received your inquiry. This inquiry is regarding:

Hello everyone,
my case msc239039....(employment based) recently moved to Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview, was in CRP since December 2023.
PD: June, 2022.
Anybody that got similar messages ? How quick was your interview scheduled or no interview to direct approval ?
please share. thanks.
God be praised
I am so glad I was in this community, someone in the community instructed me to get a lawyer to sue USCIS which is called a (MANDAMUS LAWSUIT) since it’s already passed my processing time. got a lawyer and the process was quicker than expected. After the interview, it was less than 48hrs I then got my I-485 approved. #Thank God for all he has done.

Case denied due to 1-day delay after an anyhow incorrect deadline - what can I do?
Hey everyone!
I filed a regular-processing self-petition for an EB2-NIW in January, with a priority date of January 19th. On June 5th, I received an RFE from TSC (dated June 7th, oddly enough) for all three prongs. It seemed like the officer didn’t really read my cover letter and instead quickly reviewed the evidence, resulting in a total misunderstanding of my endeavor.
I took my time with the response, redrafting a more detailed cover letter and strengthening my case with additional evidence, two new expert recommendation letters, and a much-improved business plan. The RFE stated that my response needed to be received by September 3rd.
Last week, I sent my response from Germany via UPS Express, with a commitment for delivery by August 30th at 10:30 AM. Unfortunately, UPS made several errors, and the package was delivered on September 4th—one day late.
Yesterday, on September 5th, my case was denied.
Now, I have two questions for anyone who might have gone through something similar:
1) The RFE response still hasn’t shown up in the system. My case status went straight from “Request for Additional Evidence Was Sent” to “Case Was Denied.” From what I’ve read, it usually takes a few days for RFE responses to be processed and registered. Why would the officer deny my case so quickly without waiting for a potential response still hanging in the mail room?
2) I live abroad, and according to the USCIS Policy Manual (Chapter 6 – Evidence), I should have been given an additional 14 days for mailing time on top of the 84-day deadline, rather than just 3 days i.e., 98 days instead of 87. This would mean my actual deadline was September 13th, not September 3rd.
After the RFE response was delivered, I sent a physical letter to the officer explaining the delay. I also provided proof that UPS had committed to delivering the package by August 30th, and I pointed out that I should have been granted the additional 14 days for mailing. This letter is scheduled to be delivered on Monday.
Has anyone gone through something like this? Given the apparent legal error in calculating the deadline, should I request a “Service Motion to Reopen” from USCIS? I’d really appreciate any advice or insights!
Thanks!
I-751 Finally approved (no interview)
What a nice suprise tonight! - I rarely ever check my case anymore due to how long it’s expected to take..but randomly decided to look on the Lawfully app, only to find out my case was approved the other day and that I’ll be getting my 10 year card at last! but once we move to another state next year, I shall apply for citizenship.
wishing you all the best on your journeys! ❤️
