How long does it take to get RFE from USCIS?
When U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) needs more information in order to proceed any further on your application, it will issue you a Request for Evidence (RFE).

What are some examples of RFE for immigration?
For example, some employment-based visas require a showing of an immigrant’s educational and professional qualifications. USCIS might issue an RFE asking for a number of documents that are not available, and it is better to submit some evidence than none at all.
How do I respond to a USCIS request for evidence?
You can submit all of the requested evidence at the same time. You can “partially respond” by providing some of the evidence that was requested, which will alert USCIS that you would like a decision to be made based on the information it has at that time.
How to contact USCIS if you need help with a case?

What happens if RFE is denied by USCIS?
USCIS will then make a decision on your case, in the absence of the information requested for. That means a denial. If left without lawful status in the United States, USCIS has the power to commence removal (deportation) proceedings. Do not ignore an RFE.
How long does it take for RFE to be approved?
You should treat this as a more urgent RFE. When USCIS issues a RFE, all processing on the case will stop. Once USCIS receives your RFE response, it will resume case processing, and you can probably expect further action on your application in a minimum of 60 days, though it could take longer.
