So I just checked my bank account and uscis took the $1,225 payment, I was just wondering do they take the payment when everything is good or is there still a possibility for rfe? How long till we get email mail text? What are the most common reasons for rfe? Im 100% sure everything that was needed was sent but you never know.

They have accepted your case for review...only.  They have not yet even begun to review the application. There is the possibility for an RFE at any time until the case has been formally approved. Good luck.

Heard of several cases of RFE during K1 visa process. The payment clearing doesn't mean that no RFE is coming. But RFEs can be mostly routine and if responded properly, won't hold up your case for too long.

There is always a possibility for RFE at any point of the process and certainly after the payment is taken. Sometimes they lose parts of the paperwork so even if you prepared 100%, they very well might issue an RFE. As to reasons, it could literally be anything - tax paperwork, birth certificate copy, marriage certificate copy etc.

You may want to block out your receipt number for security reasons, as this forum is VERY public.

I think you must be confused about the process.   Your petition has not been approved.  It will likely be 8+ months before they even look at it/before the possibility of an RFE.

Although it wasn't clear, OP is talking about AOS vs K-1

Your profile says K-1, not AOS.  So naturally people misunderstand.

Oh yes! The $1225 should have been an indication.  

I am adjusting from K1 and filed in Aug. Sent everything but got RFE for birth certificate after check was cashed and biometrics was done. I can even see the birth certificate uploaded on my uscis online account by them. LOL. Anyhow, send it over again and now I wait.
