Case Processing
RFE medical
Is there anyone that submitted RFE medical and have been waiting for more than 60 days with no update? It has been 65 days for my case...Cincinnati field office
Just wondering if they already reviewed applications and only need medical to give final decision or do they need medical and then start to review applications?

New, exclusive USCIS data from Lawfully—based on an analysis of more than 2,400 petitions this year—shows that the NIW approval rate has averaged 51% in 2026. This is a 15% increase from summer 2025, indicating a more favorable adjudication landscape at USCIS.
At Grape Law, I have helped many clients successfully secure approvals on their NIW filings and refilings.

final decision after submitting the RFE
Hi everyone, I wanna share my timeline and hopefully got your opinion.
we submitted the AOS on 2024 with I-130 and I-485. we got the interview on 4/30/2026. on August 12th, I got the approval of I-130. Then, I got the RFE of Form I-864 ( Financial support). However, we did bring to the interview and they scanned but they asked for that again. Anyway, I did submit on August 13th. Now I am waiting for the final decision.
Do you guy know when I can get the decision? my FO is in Dallas Tx.

Address
My priority date is now current, and my pending adjustment of case remains at the field office in my previous state. I moved to a different state to work for my employer a couple of years ago and didn't update my address, though I explained this during my previous interview there when the officer asked about my residence and told the officer that I live in the employer state and kept the old address due to more permanent/reliable address as my fam lives there. I wonder if I update my address with USCIS now, could it trigger a case transfer to my local field office, and does that increase the likelihood of being called for a second interview here…
