Delay in Decision/NOA2 After Responding to RFE - Ideas?

[I-n-R 1]

Hi Everyone,

First of all, I would like to thank everyone that contributes to this great website. The wealth of information available is an excellent resource for anyone with an immigration case.

I got an RFE for proof of personal meeting within the 2 year period preceding filing my I-129F. Based on the info I have seen on VJ, this seems like a common reason for getting an RFE. The one thing they requested was the passport admission/entry stamps. I copied all pages of my passport, pointed out the relevant admission stamp, and sent that to USCIS, along with more date-stamped pictures (I had submitted a few at the time of the original filing), and a copy of my plane ticket (I had submitted the same at the time of the original filing). I also made sure to use the envelope that was included with the RFE. USCIS received this on June 5 and updated the case accordingly.

I have not heard anything since, and looking at timelines, it looks like USCIS is now processing applications that were filed after mine. Even many applications that were filed around the same time as mine and got RFE's have also been processed.

Additionally, I created a timeline with VJ and the system suggested that my application may be delayed past regular processing times.

All of this is making me concerned.

According to USCIS, they do have 60 days from the date they receive the response to RFE before making a decision. I called USCIS and they said nothing can be done until the 60 day period has passed, in which case they would issue an inquiry into the case.

What do you guys think? Does anyone have any recommendations at this point?

Here is my timeline:

As stated USCIS has 60 days after receipt for the RFE, until then... be patient.
