Waiting for an RFE response from USCIS: what to expect?

[nl22 0]

Hello, first of all, thank you very much for your time and patience replying to my questions. 

 

As a US-citizen (22 yrs old), I sponsored my parents with an I-130/I-485 form entered at USCIS by July 16, 2021.

 

Exactly two months later we received an RFE requesting us to provide a new I-864, affidavit of support, with a new co-sponsor since my income/assets were not enough. We found such a person and we submitted a response to the RFE by December 3, 2021 (receipt date on record at MyUSCIS). The new co-sponsor shows a high regular income for the last three years, and the reply to our RFE was sent on time before its deadline, attaching proof of everything that was requested.

 

I understand that USCIS will likely reply by February 1, 2022 (60 days) but also that it could take more time.

- HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT TO CONTACT USCIS IF NOT REPLY IS RECEIVED BY THAT DAY?

 

Most importantly, please,

- WHAT TYPE OF RESPONSE SHOULD WE WAIT FROM USCIS?

 

Assuming all goes well, a response would be an interview schedule perhaps? or would more of the like "we received your RFE, now sit tight because the process starts again now and you could be waiting for several months before we make a decision on your case"?

 

As you can see, assuming all goes well, I am trying to figure out how long would it take to get the GC or a working permit request approval by the time they respond to the RFE response we submitted. - Would it be several months?

 

Some extra clarification: the case has an electronic number assined (IOE...), it is being handle at present by the NVC, and we expect it to be re-routed to a field office in north OHIO if all goes well.

 

Thank you so much for your kind reply!

Thank you so much, Mike E, for your kind reply to my question.

I was expecting some more light from other members, as I thought it was mostly a regular question. But did not happen.

I really appreciate very much your time and consideration to reply to my post.

 

Sincerely,
