O1-B visa RFE no response after almost 12 weeks

[Happy20 0]

Hey there,

 

I got an RFE on my O1-B petition in February, the CSC received the response on April 8. It was a really short one, simply asking for the advisory opinion (my petitioner didn't submit one initially because they asserted there is no labor union for my field of expertise but didn't provide evidence for that). CSC received the favorable letter on April 8.

 

After already having received a first RFE back in October which asked for more evidence on my extraordinary ability, several lawyers have told me that it's a good sign they've asked for the advisory in a 2nd RFE because it's very rare for USCIS to do that, and it seems like I've been able to satisfy all the extraordinary ability criteria then.

 

However, I've been waiting for 82 days now to get a decision on my case. Petitioner submitted an inquiry which was completed on Jun 14, but we heard nothing else.

WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG?? Anybody else experienced this?

 

I appreciate your comments.
