Mee 16 Posted April 24, 2013 When you receive a rfe do you start over with counting the months? I called the USCIS today and they told me that I want within the timeline because I received a rfe in October, but all together my applicatin was sent August 28th? I'm confused so do I not count August and September? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pswa83 302 Posted April 24, 2013 i do not see why the waiting period would start over just because you received an RFE. there have been people who received an RFE that got approved shortly after sending back the RFE and other have waited longer. i would give it a little more time, call again and ask to speak to a secondary CSR about your case.

Mee 16 Posted April 24, 2013 I have tried asking to speak to a level 2 rep but they won't let me. They say that they can't give me any other information and that they are just going to tell me what the level 1 rep is telling me. But I am pretty sure they are lying to me.

pswa83 302 Posted April 24, 2013 they're telling you just to get you off the phone. everytime i called (before my case was approved) to correct my last name, i always got a different person and a different answer. even writing emails to the Service Center didnt help much. i finally had to wait on the phone for almost 2 hrs just to get someone to help me and correct the error. but like i said, you should just wait till maybe this time nxt week (i know, its hard to just sit around and wait) then call again and see if you can talk to someone who is a little nicer (fingers crossed) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoseG 383 Posted April 25, 2013 Your status should say to expect a response within 60 days after they received the RFE, so no, the time doesn't start over. 1 pswa83 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoseG: that's what it says and I told them that but they tried telling me not to count the two months before I got the rfe. But I knew they were lying to me. I'm just going to keep trying to speak to a level 2 rep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Me15** 29 Posted April 25, 2013 Yes after you send the rfe it's starts all over again. That is what my letter says. I send my rfe back 2 days ago. Now I jut have to wait. Hopefully I hear soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pswa83 302 Posted April 25, 2013 i have to agree with JoseG on this one. the response time for the RFE does state to expect a response within 60 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Me15** 29 Posted April 25, 2013 Pswa83 so that's just 2 months thanks for the update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
profjouster 17 Posted April 25, 2013 it doesnt restart. the RFE is (in a way) a good sign, it means theyre definitely reviewing your case, like an agent is actually looking over the package you sent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Me15** 29 Posted April 25, 2013 Does any body know if you can get like 2 rfe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoseG 383 Posted April 25, 2013 Does any body know if you can get like 2 rfe? There have been a few instances where people receive two RFEs, if they fail to provide enough evidence on the first one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
