Am I only one "Lucky" enough to receive RFE ?

Got that yellow letter regarding my spouse's income and non-eligibility to be my sponsor.

46K at Last Year tax transcript was not enough for two of us so...

They asked us to mail the proof of income,tax copies, bank statements, employment verification letters, and assets evaluation...

4 Lbs package was mailed back, had to use a box, since all papers did not fit inside the envelope.

Now waiting for RFE status to change.

Did anyone know how long it might take to see an on-line status change after sending RFE paperwork ?

I think lots of people got RFEs from reading around the forums; it's not at all uncommon.

We had an RFE for the I-485 earlier on (7/27, about three weeks after NoA1). It was for a complete oversight on our part -- we had included a W-2 copy, but not a copy of the actual filed tax form from last year for the sponsor (my USC husband). I can't remember the exact date I mailed that back, but I can't say we really rushed to send it, so it was at some point within the following week, maybe 8/3. Got notification that our RFE response was received on 8/7 and then no further updates since then on that front. (Got my EAD/AP combo card in early September, but they were not implicated in that RFE.)

About the details you listed: unless your sponsor is self-employed (in which case you need a bunch of extra documentation as evidence that he can indeed maintain the level of income he earned the previous year), there must have been some mistake either in how you filled out the I-864 or in its processing. You can consult the current poverty guidelines here http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-864p.pdf and for a household of two it is less than half of the income you list. You said you already sent a huge package of information back, so it doesn't matter at this point (or maybe your husband is self-employed in which case these additional pieces should have been part of the initial filing), but I thought I'd point this out for the benefit of future filers who might be reading this post.

In any case, good luck. As I said, our RFE receipt date was only a few days after I mailed the response and then there have been no further updates, so I'd assume you can expect the same. I think this is all there is going to be until further movement (review and interview appointment).

I wasn't approved at the spot on the interview day but my status wasn't updated too. I only got an email the next morning of my card production, that's how I got to know I was approved. A day after that, I got approval emails for the i130 and a welcome email for i485.
