My RFE was a pink sheet and stated request for INITIAL evidence, which was for my I-864 (employment letter and pay stubs), and medical exam I-693 form. My online status said request for ADDITIONAL evidence sent. On the letter, it said my EAD would not be approved in time because of the RFE. I sent the required documents two weeks later. And, to my surprise, I got my EAD approved on the 80th day from filing! So, I've no idea why the RFE said it would be delayed, or why it wasn't delayed. Hope you get lucky too :)

I'm no expert on RFE's (thankfully we've never had any) but it kinda makes sense to me that the FIRST RFE a person might receive would be called an INITIAL RFE and a SUBSEQUENT RFE would be called ADDITIONAL.

From my reading experience here I think it's safe to say that once you return ANY RFE and they are satisfied with it, it typically does not take them 90 days to issue interims. But they are going to TELL you 90 days as they are within their boundaries to do so.

A recent post was split from this 10-year-old thread and was given the topic title "Second RFE Delaying EAD; What to Do?  [split topic]."

 

Old thread is now closed to further comment.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).
