Fellow and former NSC NIWers:

After sending out RFE response on 08/03/05, I have seen only two LUD (08/05 and 08/08). Hope this is not a bad signal. Feels like approved RFE case usually have quite frequent LUDs. Is this also so? How are/were the cases of you folks? What is the typical waiting time for such case?

Best wishes to all of us who are anxiously and painfully waiting!!!

Origninal NIW RD: 01/31/04
RFE received: 06/19/05
RFE replied: 08/03/05
LUD after RFE: 08/05/05, 08/08/05
AD :confused:

FYI, my background is okay but not very strong: Ph.D. in EE, 10 papers in top journals (7 of 10 first author), 10 conference papers, <20 citations (I know this is weak), two invited talks in good conferences, 4 pending patents, reviewer for a top journal, 9 reference letters (6 independent) including some big shots in the field. My RFE is a cut and past type, asking for evidence for all three aspects of the third prong.
 
good luck for your case. you replied your RFE pretty quickly. have a naive question for you, what do you mean by "all three aspects of the third prong", and how you handled the RFE.

Thanks. With regard to your question, I meant the following requirements:
1. You must provide evidence that you can benifit the US national interest to a substantially greater extent than peers with similar minimum qualifications.
2. Demonstrate that your proposed employment is not based upon a shortage of work force in the field.
3. You must show prior record of achievements that readily project the future benifit of your employment to the US national interest.
The wording can be different but I think the essences are the same.

After consulting a immigration lawyer, I simply got more reference letters, rearranged and emphasized my qualifications, and submitted the response. I think that is what people usually do for such cut and paste RFE...
 
I know one of my friend, he sent out RFE to NSC in July 26th, LUD changed once on 27 th, then LUD changed on 22th of August, approval. NSC recevied my RFE in Aug 10, LUD on Aug 11th, still waiting. Best wishes to both of us.
 
According to a guy in another thread, the timing for NSC NIW RFE case is 14 plus or minus 8 days. Can anybody confirm that?

Hi Folks: My RFE response was mailed on 8/23 by my lawyer to reach NSC on 8/24. I have not seen any LUD change till today. Is that normal? How many days can pass by before they'll acknowledge receipt?
 
Re: RFE reponse

I think it is not unusual. I sent my response out on 08/03 via overnight delivery. I assume NSC received it on 08/04. LUD changed on 08/05. It all depends on what priority was the mail and when NSC input the note into computer...
 
sarasota:

Do not worry. They receive my RFE (according to the FEDEX track) on Aug 8th, and update on Aug 11th.
 
Fedex delivered my RFE to NSC on Aug 22 (my deadline is Aug 24), LUD is Aug 26, hope they consider my case before the deadline, do they?

Exactly the same as mine. my packet reached NSC on the 22nd but LUD is aug 26th. What my lawyer tells me that it is quite common that the package was opened much later. What matters is when the package reached them. So, if your package reached them before deadline, you are fine.

good luck with your RFE.

LUD changed

RFE response received by NSC on 8/24, (deadline 8/24) LUD changed 8/30, Message says response received on 8/27. I guess it should be ok.
 
Hi, Guys,

Looks like very quite on NSC for NIW RFE, any good news to cheer up?
My LUD changed twice (8/26, 8/29) after RFE received, then nothing change.
