Request for Evidence after N 400 Interview

[Realrgb]

Hello,
I had my Citizenship Interview on July 31st, and was recommended for approval. I received my green card in 2012 as a GC Lottery winner, but was out of country for 7 months in the very beginning because I needed to complete my Bachelor Degree.
I was asked questions at the interview about why I was away, I explained, and interview went well, I was recommended for approval.
After interview I received RFE to explain the reason for my absence.
I sent all supporting documents ASAP and now I am waiting. One week later my online status is still Request for evidence is mailed to you....
How long would it take for them to respond and process my case? Did anybody have this issue?
Thanks

Just like you have 90 days to respond to a RFE, they have 90 days to respond.
That?s why it?s better to get a Notice of Intent to Deny. You have 30 days to respond and USCIS has bout the same time to address it.

Thanks for responding. I was given until September 1st to provide a response to RFE which was 30 days.
Do you think it is gonna take a vary long time?
