Hi All
I have applied for EB1 in jan 2010. TSC received RFE response in 05/2010. Case status check shows RFE response review. Is it good or bad that USCIS is taking such a long time?.
My lawyer advised against contacting USCIS as it would essentially mean to speed up and be kind in their judgment. I am kind of tired of waiting, any advise or thoughts as to why TSC is taking long time? ( typical processing time is 4 months). Any one else in similar situaton?

Which EB1 sub-category is it?

Some cases (and case types) are harder than others to get through. If they give all of the same type to the same officers to decide, well, thicker files just take longer to get through and a big pile of big files takes a bit longer to get through..........
 
If it's taking long, they probably are having doubts on EB-1 eligibility, get mentally prepared to get moved to EB-2 and if It happens for you in EB-1, then good for you, at this time the only thing you can do is wait.
I have seen well qualified EB-1 go through in less than 30 days.

Thanks for your response namecheckvictim. I have seen some of the not so well qualified people getting approval or rejection within 4 months period so am not sure what to make out of this nevertheless we are the mercy of USCIS whether EB1 or EB2.
 
Hi...
Unless you have applied premium, sometimes it can take up to 1 year. the published times of 4 months is a very poor estimate. I have EB1A pending since June 14th and there are many EB1A from June still in initial review..
So it is perfectly normal it take some time for the immigration department but in your case the it taking too much time and i would suggest you should see you attorney.
