Hi,

I received RFE on my 485 application (Adjustment of status) & I have submitted the requested documents however have not heard back anything from USCIS after that. Generally USCIS takes 60 days to process the RFE response. Is there anyone else who is in similar situation & have not received any response from USCIS on 485 RFE ?

My timelines.

1. RFE received on 485-  11/1/2017

2. Responded to RFE - 11/15/2017

 

Waiting for USCIS response..

USCIS is taking a long time to process anything these days. You can send out an inquiry and see. 

 

Would you you be comfortable listing your reason for RFE for future reference for anyone applying for AOS? It can help others when applying. Thanks.

Did you get tracking information to confirm the RFE was delivered to them?  Depending on when they physically received your response, it hasn't been 60 business days (not including weekends or federal holidays) yet it appears...remember USCIS offices would have been closed over the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years holidays and observance days too.

Hi, Yes I have the tracking number & the documents have reached USCIS on 12/17/2017. I agree that over the new year & christmas the office would be slow although there was no official holiday for uscis apart from 12/25 :). 

 

Also I had to provide documentation that I had maintained my legal visa status until I filed for EAD as part of my RFE.

 

Has any one else received similar RFE ?

They were also closed on Jan 2nd and most likely Jan 16th (yesterday) with other government offices.

Through a search here, was able to find only this thread which doesn't give a lot of info unfortunately, but lists what the person sent as evidence of their status (they came on a different visa)...hopefully you'll hear something soon---good luck:
