How long does it take for the decision after the USCIS receives your response to RFE? My response was received on Dec 21st, 2009. Now my attorney tells me that they have seen decisions as late as 3-4 months following the RFE response , and rarely within the stated 60 days. :confused: This seems contrary to what they told me earlier and to what I have seen other people express on this forum and others.
 
The USCIS received my answer to the RFE on I-140 (mine was EB2-NIW) on Jan 12, 2010. They approved my I-140 the following week (actually Jan 20, 2010). Not only that, after 2.5 hours of approval of I-140, they approved my (along with my family member's) I-485 also. It was a surprise to me.
 
Every case is different, and every immigration officer has a different pace. So some cases will progress much quicker than others. It sucks, but that's how it is!
