how long to get result after submitting REF

No Title

From the past postings, I think it takes them 7-10 days to just "receive" it and update the AVM. After that, it should be a month or two before we can get an approval or another RFE.

My RFE response was just sent out two days ago (an renewed employment letter), I\'m looking to check AVM at the end of the month to make sure they do received it.

What about yours?

Hi
Shef:
Thank you very much. From waht you said, we may get another ref. I am a little confused . what other ref will VSC send?
I am totally nervous. Since now any day we can be laid off because of bad
economic, how can we wait for another ref?

Thanks
Tied

Hopefully we\'d just get a straight approval after they received our responses. But I did see people getting second RFEed, presumably because the first response raised more question for the officer. But very rarely. Mine is a simple request for a renewed employment letter, so I can\'t image more question following that.

Talking about layoff, the good news is that if you\'ve already waited for 180+ days, you don\'t need to worry about being out-of-status. You can either renew your H1 status with a new employer or simply use EAD+AP. Someone mentioned that EAD+AP is better option in case of layoff, so you might want to apply for an EAD if you think there is a big chance being hit. We\'re in the same boat, so let\'s keep in touch and share any useful info we may have.

Yes, my case took 7 days including Saturday and Sunday for AVM to reflect that VSC received RFE. Then, AVM said it will take 180 days for their approval.

RFE issued (AVM) 04/25
RFE received by lawyer 04/27
RFE reply mailed by lawyer 05/11
RFE received by INS (AVM) 05/18
Hope this will be done in a couple of days to weeks.
