RFE, NOID, Denial Appeal - How many days for each ?

[Aman02]

Hi Guys

When they issue RFE how many days they allow for reply ?
When they issue NOID (Notice of Intent to Deny), how many days they allow for response ?
When they deny, can we stay while appealing the decision ? What are the time frames ?

Thanks
Aman

Generallyfor RFE they give 12 weeks.
NOID they give one month.

Generally the dates are mentioned in the RFE/NOID. Did you not see them?

There's a proposal to do away with the fixed time frame for response. Here's some info from http://www.immigration-law.com/. As I understand, the adjudicating officer can set a response time as deemed appropriate.

11/30/2004: Proposed Rule Released to Remove Fixed RFE, NOID Response Timeframe

USCIS published a proposed rule to remove the absolute requirement for, and the fixed regulatory time limitations on responses to, a USCIS issued Request for Evidence (RFE) or Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID). These changes will enable USCIS to set an appropriate deadline for responding to an RFE or NOID, specific to the type of case, benefit category, or classification, and thus improve the process of adjudication of applications and petitions by reducing the time a case is held awaiting evidence, and by reducing average case processing time. The comment is taken until January 31, 2005.
