RFE (RD: May 28, 2019)
After raising a SR in early December for my case being outside processing times, on December 30 I saw that an RFE was issued on my main I-485 application.
I never received it in the mail. The case status page advises to contact USCIS if I do not receive the notice by January 14, so yesterday I requested another copy of RFE to be sent.
I am now waiting. I hope I won't miss the RFE deadline.
I don't work with a lawyer, but I checked my application perhaps 10 times to verify if everything was complete and impeccable. On my case status it says "request for initial evidence" so it means that USCIS believes a required documentation is missing from the application ? It takes 7 months for them to realize this, not in the summer ? This is ridiculous.
I also heard that sometimes they ask again for a documentation that was already included in the application in the first place ? Especially if they see that you are not working with a lawyer ?

Once the paperwork that is required by the RFE is sent, how long does it take for USCIS to process it and make a decision ? Is it necessarily another 2-3 months ? Or can it be one last double check before they approve the permit ? Is it also related to what RFE is about ?
