Have I missed RFE deadline? Update-Case approved!!

Update:

Case Approved within one week after RFE response.

Original ===============

Here is my situation: CSC - NIW.

In order to wait for a very important letter for my RFE, I mailed my RFE package to CSC at the "last minute". The deadline set by BCIS was 6/12/03. I mailed my stuff out on 6/10/03 by USPS Express Mail. The package was recieved and signed by BCIS personnel on 6/11/03. From the online status check, I found the following,

"On June 13, 2003, we received your response to our request for evidence or information. It is taking between 158 and 60 days for us to process this kind of case. ...."

Since the receiving date was June 13, according to BCIS. Is this going to be a problem? or in another word, have I OFFICIALLY missed the deadline? Will this directly lead to DENIAL of my case?? Is there anything I can do?

BTW, I have a receipt from USPS and I have a printout from the USPS website regarding the delivery date and the name of the BCIS person who signed the receipt.

Thank you very much,

I don't think it is a problem.

I ever had almost same situation with you. I sent the package at the last minute. But their receipt date is later than the mail accepted date. After 2-3 weeks they approved my case.

I believe the legal deadline you have to respond to them a few days later than the deadline listed on your RFE.

P.S.

This is only my personal opinion.
 
Thanks, guys..

Thank you all for your reply!

Now I feel much better. Before I was really worried. I will try to call and find out - anyway the call is local to me and I do not have to worry about the cost of hours of long distance :)

BTW, Lowell. Was your "official" receiving date (online status) later than the BCIS/INS deadline? Or it was just that the actual acceptance date was several days earlier than the "OFFICIAL" date given in your online status, but the official date was still before the deadline? Thanks,

Naiver..
could you please tell me how much time period you got to repspond to RFE?...Thanks...
 
You get 12 weeks to respond to an RFE.

I have never had a problem with the situation that you describe here. I believe the date that shows on AVM is the date that it is actually entered into the system. I can't imagine that BCIS would even try to give you difficulty over this.
