It's been almost 5 weeks since we responded to an RFE for our case and haven't heard anything back yet. The USCIS website doesn't show it as being in response review (although I've been informed the website is unreliable so not overly concerned about that). Does it usually take this long for them to respond to an RFE? Would be interested to hear how long others had to wait.

Thanks!

Our AOS Journey:

4/09/14 Mailed I-130, I-485. I-785 & I-131.

4/11/14 Package delivered

4/22/14 NOA1

5/07/14 RFE

5/13/14 Biometrics

6/05/14 RFE response delivered

6/20/14 Biometrics (again!). Had to re-do fingerprints.

7/23/14 EAD/AP card in production

7/29/14 Online status changed to Testing & Interview.

7/31/14 EAD/AP received.

9/08/14 AOS Interview. Approved pending police certificate.

9/23/14 Greencard received.

That's a long wait for such a simple evidence, my RFE was for tax return too. Did you send tax transcript? Or you sent tax return copy? We sent tax transcripts and it took 4 days for them to order EAD and interview appointment a week later.

NancyNguyen- Wow 4 days was fast! We sent the tax return.

this system is a trick to make you think that you will get your EAD or G card quick but only a lucky few because if you check it when they tell you 3 months for EAD, 3 months come and it only count as 2 because weekends not included in the 3 months not to mention an additional 3 to get G card. They make it sound quick but it is so long. I response to RFE and they get it june29th up to date it is just count as 26 days and it is over a month now. Process already long and then they talk about starting over after RFE,
