RFE Response time?

[imli]

When USCIS issue an RFE, normally how many days they give us for sending the response? Is it one month or three months?

Thanks much!

I think it is case by case. I got 12 weeks.

Thanks alaska for the reply.
I applied in EB2-NIW category.

It depends.

According to the Interoffice Memorandum from the USCIS (issued 06/01/2007), the "standard timeframe" for an RFE response is as following:

To submit initial evidence that the form requires the applicant or petitioner to file.....30 calendar days.

To submit evidence that Form I-539 (extension of stay or change in status) requires.....30 calendar days.

To submit evidence available in the United States regardless of form type.....42 calendar days.

To submit evidence available from overseas sources regardless of form type.....84 calendar days.

It seems most members of this forum got 12 weeks for their EB-1 or NIW RFEs, but I only got 6 weeks (NIW/TSC, by the way).
